In Episode 81 of the Stone Pillar Podcast, Dane and Brian reflect on the call to evangelize in light of divine sovereignty and the doctrine of election. They move through four observations, namely, as we proclaim the gospel, we know that: (1) we don't know how specific individuals will respond to the gospel; (2) the power to save sinners is not in the sinners who hear the message; (3) the power to save sinners is not in us who preach the good news; and (4) only those whom the Father draws to Christ will come to Christ. They also draw out some implications of this teaching.

In Episode 80 of the Stone Pillar Podcast, Dane and Brian focus their attention on three individuals – all Gentiles – who exhibited great faith in God: a Canaanite woman (Matt. 15:21-28), a centurion (Matt. 8:5-13), and another centurion named Cornelius (Acts 10:1-8). Whatever our ethnic or cultural background, we can ask ourselves: are we no-faiths like the Pharisees and scribes, little-faiths like the disciples early on in their walk, or great-faiths like these Gentiles?

In Episode 79 of the Stone Pillar Podcast, Dane and Brian have a discussion that serves to equip us in our evangelistic efforts. When we are sharing the Good News about Jesus, it is essential to accurately communicate who Jesus is. Christology is the branch of theology that focuses on who Jesus Christ is and what He did for our salvation. We must get Christology – the person and work of Christ – right as we seek to evangelize the world!

In the aftermath, we do well to draw lessons from a life so productively and impactfully lived.

In Episode 73 of the Stone Pillar Podcast, Dane and Brian discuss two lines of thought from the Book of Acts: being filled with the Spirit (e.g., Acts 4:8) and being led by the Spirit (e.g., Acts 8:29). What does it all mean? Have a listen – and be edified and encouraged so that you may always "keep in step with the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25 ESV).

In Episode 72 of the Stone Pillar Podcast, Dane and Brian reflect on faith, works, and justification in James 2:14-26 and in some passages that Paul wrote. First, they discuss the relationship between faith and works. Second, they show that James and Paul agree on both the centrality of faith and the necessity of works. Finally, they unpack how the terminology of "justification" is used to describe: (1) being forgiven and made right with God, received by faith alone; (2) demonstrating in actual practice by faith-filled works that you are right with God; and (3) receiving final commendation and vindication from God on the day of judgment, at which time God will bestow praise upon every true believer in accordance with his or her faithfulness.
