“For it logically follows that if God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful, then God must also be all-saving.”

Often dismissed as a modern feel-good theology, Christian universalism is an ancient, orthodox, and biblical theology that was expounded by early Christians and early church fathers. Artman brings much-deserved attention to this wonderful spirituality.

In this conversation, David Artman shares that grace saves alone and goes to all. This inclusive approach to Christianity is variously called universal reconciliation, universal salvation, or perhaps most accurately, Christian universalism. David shares that the inclusive/Christian universalist approach is necessary because it offers the only Christian theology that successfully defends the goodness of God.

Podcast intro and outro music by Wilde Assembly

Redefining deliverance, principalities and powers, strongholds and spiritual warfare, revival, intercession, prayer, worship, the prophetic, the fall, and sin, all in the context of union; in this conversation, Ryan and the guys talk about the unchangeable goodness and love of the Father, grace, union, purpose, and connection.

The guys discuss how, as we grow sure in love, and as we journey further into grace, we continue to find more expansive language for union.

Quotes

God speaking to Ryan as the Author and finisher of his faith, inviting him to rethink— “I am supposed to be the author of your faith, but there have been pages written in your heart that I didn’t author; things that you believe that I don’t believe…”

“Deliverance isn’t a battle with demons it’s a shifting of agreement.”“Spiritual warfare is all about truth and lies.”

“We confuse dominion with domination…dominion is governing solutions…”

“If you're not preaching hard about the finished work and the righteousness of God, then you've watered down the gospel.”

“God is good; Jesus is the model.”

Do you resonate with aspects of Christianity but struggle with the coherence of its claims? After having a mystical experience that upended her traditional evangelical beliefs, Heather Hamilton reluctantly found herself in this place. Her seeking led to the most unexpected insights. In this conversation, Heather shares that story and introduces her book, Returning To Eden.

Love, trust, scripture, re-discovering Jesus, sacred moments, the hell of separation, and a God who is love and never leaves, in this conversation, Heather and the guys dive into a Faith that is no longer a white-knuckled grip on implausible beliefs, but a relaxation into a deep inner knowing.

“Wherever there is a culture of certainty, there is a culture of hypocrisy.” Jared Scholz

"Exquisitely etched, in a luring cadence, a daughter lost, a family fractured, fractioned, all in the lower case, not shouting at us, but hard to read. I had to stop and regain my composure. What is this terrible beauty? Not a theology but something softer, more delicate, unprotected, exposed. What is this? A moving poem, certainly, but also a prayer, a wounded word, a broken hallelujah, where a random hug, a hand held through the night, a shoulder touched, are the only amelioration, the only God worthy of our time, the only God there may be, the only way to keep the future open." John Caputo

“There is no retribution in the nature of God. Period. He is love plus nothing…”

Many people consider organized religion to be irrelevant today. ‘From its humble beginnings like a simple fishing boat carried by the wind, it sometimes seems that the church has morphed into a vast container ship, set on fixed courses, running on dirty fuel oil, very slow to turn around and encrusted with barnacles and weeds en route. Why not just abandon ship and simply relate to God ourselves, when and how we want to?’
