In this episode of the Ps+ we discuss the importance an eternal perspective holds on a life lived in the Spirit. 

Whether you're familiar with Augustine or not, chances are you've encountered Calvinism and its core doctrines—especially the idea of unconditional election. Perhaps you have Reformed friends who hold to the belief that God has sovereignly chosen some individuals for salvation and others for damnation, entirely apart from their will. This deterministic view of salvation has become deeply embedded in much of Western Christianity. But what if we could trace this theological development to a specific moment in church history? What if we could say, with confidence, when and how this view was introduced—and argue that it was not part of the original Christian faith?

On today’s show, we take a critical look at one of the most influential figures in Christian history: Augustine of Hippo. We’re joined by Dr. Ken Wilson, Oxford-trained scholar and author of The Foundations of Augustinian Calvinism. In his historical research, Dr. Wilson demonstrates how Augustine’s later theology— particularly his embrace of determinism and unilateral grace — marked a significant departure from the teachings of earlier Church Fathers and laid the foundation for what would become Calvinistic theology.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the topic of children’s ministry and the critical work of establishing kids in their faith. From evangelizing and edifying to equipping young believers for service, the goal is not just to entertain children but to disciple them—to anchor them in God’s Word and prepare them to be faithful members of the body of Christ. With cultural distractions and spiritual opposition on the rise, the urgency to reach children early has never been greater.

To help us unpack this topic, we’re joined by Pastor Craig Warner of First Baptist Church of New Philadelphia. In addition to serving faithfully at his local church, Craig will be one of the instructors for the Children’s Ministry course at LFBI this fall. He brings with him a long resume of ministry, a passion for discipleship, and love for kids.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Seth Keenum to discuss disappointment in our walk with the Lord and how to respond to it in a way that is glorifying and obedient to God. 

On today’s show, we’re looking at one of the most common and yet misunderstood roles in the local church: the office of the deacon. While some see it as a stepping stone to greater leadership, others have turned it into a position of power. But when we return to the early church in Acts 6, what we find is a calling rooted in servanthood, urgency, and need. The Bible paints a clear and compelling picture: deacons were appointed to serve—literally to wait tables—not to lead spiritual governance, but to protect it. Their ministry enabled pastors and elders to focus on prayer and the Word by meeting practical, often overlooked needs in the body. To help us unpack this biblical office and its implications for the church today, we’re joined by Pastor Mitch Dobson, Biblical Studies instructor at LFBI welcome to the Postscript.

What do you do when forgiveness still feels raw?

In this episode of Sound Mind, Jonathan Kindler dives into the messy, sacred reality of forgiveness. Through biblical stories, personal reflection, and sound-rich storytelling, he explores what it means to release someone without minimizing what they did—and without pretending you’re okay.

This isn’t about forced peace or performative grace. It’s about telling the truth, naming the wound, and entrusting justice to the only One who sees the whole story. From Joseph’s betrayal to Jesus’ prayer on the cross, from Paul’s fracture with John Mark to your own quiet ache—this episode walks with you through the cost, the complexity, and the process of forgiving when it still hurts.

If you’ve prayed the prayer, said the words, and still feel the sting—this one’s for you.
You’re not weak. You’re healing.
And healing takes time.
