Eric & Drew open with a screen cap from Michael Foster with a text message between him and a young man he interacted with on social media. The guys then spring board from there to explore comments from Dutch Sheets on "The Male Pride Factor" where allegedly men are just inherently more difficult to reach with the Good News of Jesus. Drew and Eric talk about the things that can be done to bring men to our churches. F3 (Fitness, Faith, Fellowship) is mentioned along with some other suggestions.

Eric and Drew join in for a live episode where they have a [probably very frustrating] conversation with ChatGPT as it impersonates a Calvinist interpretation of Romans 9 and election. Tune in to see if the AI understands things like context, the Old Testament passages, and break-free from its pre-programmed deterministic answers.

Arminianism: Reviewing a Theological Discussion 

Support the show

Eric & Drew take time to address @TheOtherPaul's response to a recent Twitter kerfuffle where they quoted Ronnie Rogers' "Does God Love All or Some?" and got a lot of pushback. They also respond to Edgar and Edwin of @scholasticismreformed166 as they critique their debate with Dr. Feighton Lowers. Eric and Drew talk about the Gospel's effect on the unregenerate on Calvinism in the context of Rogers' quote. They compare a quote from John Calvin and ask if even Calvin was consistent with denying God was the author of sin. Eric highlights the difference between an assertion and making a cogent argument for determinism. Eric & Drew cover additional context from Rogers' quote and discuss whether anything can be meaningfully influential towards faith and repentance on Calvinism. They talk about the lose-lose situation of the James White-like critique of "arguing backwards" and "jumping around" in the Bible. Drew briefly explains the Calvinistic error that is often made about "adoption" in Ephesians 1:5 and Eric highlights the contextual problems that Calvinists have to overcome to make their case for unconditional election in Ephesians 1. Drew closes by explaining the Provisionist perspective on 1 John 2:2 and John 17 as Jesus speaks of "not praying for the world" and John talks about for whose sins Christ died.
