On this episode of The Calvary Cast, the guys have the first of a multi-part discussion on the atonement made by Jesus Christ for sinners. This conversation is centered around the book, "In My Place Condemned He Stood," by J.I. Packer and Mark Dever. In this episode, they discuss one aspect of the atonement, propitiation, the satisfying of God's wrath towards sinners.

On this episode of The Calvary Cast, Jess and Graham interview Aaron Thomas. Aaron is a member of CBC and is now an elder candidate here. Listen in, as Graham and Jess ask Aaron some hard hitting questions and play a little game to find out if he is right or wrong on some critical issues.

We hope this episode is helpful for the members of CBC to hear Aaron's heart for the Lord, for pastoring and for the people here at Calvary.

We also spend a few minutes talking about Twin Peaks Bible Camp, which Aaron is the director of.

In this episode of The Calvary Cast, Graham and Jess:

-Continue their discussion on the issue of pornography.

-Issue a call to Christian parents to help their children walk through this issue.

-Discuss why Christians want to fight against pornography in their lives.

-Discuss where the power to change comes from

-Offer some practical suggestions for those who are battling this sin in their lives.

We recommend these resources for those who are waging war against lust and pornography.

On this episode of The Calvary Cast, Graham and Jess sit down and discuss the issue of pornography. This is a serious crisis in the broader culture, and just as much of a crisis in the church. We pray that this episode will be used to bring to light the sin of pornography that so many within the church are dealing with, and that those who a fighting against this sin would know that there is true hope for change and deliverance only in the gospel.

We mentioned a couple of resources in this podcast, you can find them below:
