Go subscribe to "All In with Jordan Apodaca" - because this podcast is CLOSING UP SHOP. I am actually combining my two podcasts, Theology in Progress and The Self Development Podcast. It is now called "All In With Jordan Apodaca." If you were already subscribed to The Self Development Podcast, you SHOULD have transitioned over naturally. But if not, just go over there now.

To listen from the web go here: https://anchor.fm/all-in-jordan

This episode is wide-ranging! We discuss atonement theories in general, and we spend a decent amount of time critiquing the penal substitution theory. Before you turn this off, notice that neither of us are denying substitution. We are just denying penal substitution. Listen for more info. I think you'll likely agree :)

Does hell exist forever? David says no, and he thinks his answer is more Biblically faithful than those who say yes. I was extremely impressed at how well David was able to argue his case both Biblically and philosophically.

In this episode I share my thoughts on two passages that stood out to me this week.

First: how do people grow? Answer: do nothing.

Second: why did people get mad at Jesus? Answer: because He loved people.

This has been on my mind for a while. Let me know what you think! DM me @theology_in_progress on Instagram

In this episode, Samuel and I discussed A LOT of different aspects about whether or not universalism is biblical. Samuel also recommended a lot of books and articles, which I link to below.

Also, here is information on the ecumenical council where universalism was "condemned": https://afkimel.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/apocatastasis-the-heresy-that-never-was/amp/

And here is a YouTube video of David Bentley Hart explaining allegorical reading of Scripture

Nate, AKA the Philosophical Misfit, shares his journey in and out of Christianity on this episode. He is an awesome guy, loves thinking, and loves pursuing truth. In this episode we talk about his story, the kind of mindset of openness we should have when approaching truth, misconceptions about Christianity, and a whole lot more.
