The Arena

WELCOME BACK, to season 5 of The Arena Podcast.  Matt, Joe and Bryce are excited to bring you another season.  We've appreciated the feedback we've received, and thank you for your patience as we figure out our editing.

This season kickoff we are examining the relationship between the Church, the nation of Israel and what the future holds for these two.  Has the church replaced Israel? Is there something for Israel yet to be fulfilled? This is what we tackle on this season opener of The Arena.

A Calvinist, Armenian and Provisionist walk into a bar... Yes, on today's episode we are going there.  Matt, Bryce, and Joe walk through the three main views when it comes to how we are saved.  It's important to note, these three views ought not fight with one another but wrestle with the text and enjoy faithful fellowship with one another.

Artificial Intelligence is something we use every day whether we realize it or not.  Should we welcome it fully? Or should we be careful? Matt and Bryce discuss this on today's episode of The Arena.

On this episode of The Arena Matt, Bryce, and Joe discuss how "in the know" Christians should be when it comes to politics! Can we bury our heads in the sand? Should I be so into politics that I don't watch anything else? How does Scripture help me think through this?
