January 17, 2018 Episode 12: Becoming Reformed
This week we reach into the grab bag of listener suggestions and pull out the topic of "your journey to reformed theology" (AKA Brian's question).

December 19, 2017 Episode 09: The Will of God
Following up on our conversation about hearing from God, we thought it would be helpful to spend some time talking about the will of God. Does God have a definite and determined will for us?
