In this episode, Eric and Drew dive into a viral tweet that sparked a heated debate about marriage and intimacy, especially in the context of men's struggles after having children. The tweet raised controversial points about feeling neglected in marriage, and we discuss why these topics are often met with outrage instead of honest conversation. We unpack how marital dynamics shift post-children, explore the biblical responsibilities between husbands and wives, and question why the church frequently overlooks the challenges men face in marriage.

We also take a hard look at why evangelical circles tend to only address one side of the issue, asking why it's acceptable to talk about men sacrificing for their wives but not the other way around. It's time to have an honest conversation about the realities of marriage and how both spouses need to serve each other. Join us as we challenge these norms and push for healthier, more balanced discussions on marriage in the church!

In this clip, Leighton Flowers and Joel Webbon address the accusation of Semi-Pelagianism often leveled at Provisionists. Leighton doesn’t pull punches. Leighton Flowers reads an article from Adam Harwood--one of the "Traditionalist" Southern Baptists and Professor of Theology, Director of the Baptist Center for Theology & Ministry, and Editor of the Journal for Baptist Theology & Ministry at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary--from which camp "Provisionism" derives its soteriological roots, called "Is the Traditional Statement Semi-Pelagian?" where Reformed definitions of Semi-Pelagianism are given as contrasted with the Traditional Statement. Joel Webbon--Calvinistic pastor of Covenant Bible Church in Austin, TX--also addresses this common accusation in a clip from a debate on Total Depravity with Flowers.

Drew and Eric delve into a heated online exchange about the theological implications of God’s role in granting requests—specifically within the context of theistic determinism and baby conception.

Eric and Drew, along with guest Warren McGrew of ‪@IdolKiller‬ examine the Canons of Dort, addressing common Calvinist doctrines and their implications. The discussion begins by exploring the purpose and historical context of the Synod of Dort, which aimed to counter Arminianism and establish Reformed doctrine. The hosts argue that the Calvinist perspective, especially the doctrine of double predestination, lacks biblical support and fails to address their criticisms logically. Throughout the episode, they highlight how the Canons of Dort respond to objections not with substantive arguments but by dismissing dissenters as Pelagians or by asserting divine authority without further explanation. The hosts contend that this approach leads to a form of spiritual elitism, where intellectual assent to doctrine is equated with holiness. They emphasize the need for open, scripture-based discussions and critique the tendency of some Calvinists to avoid engaging with their arguments directly.
