    • Critiquing Penal Substitution (Esa Interview Part 1)

      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 :)

    • Is Hell Permanent? (David Pallmann Interview)

      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.

      David's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8sTncrKOJtT3J4TEwg7fag

      If you want the book on annihilationism according to David, check out Edward Fudge's book "The Fire that Consumes" here: https://amzn.to/2mNVoTj

      Also check out Zondervan's "Four Views on Hell" book: https://amzn.to/2mesxan

      (Note: if you use the previous two links to buy those books, I get a tiny little commission from Amazon. I'm apparently supposed to let you know that.)

    • Why People Hated Jesus

      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.

    • How to Read Language of God Killing
      This is a quick rant from me on how to read language of God killing. For me, the MAIN question is this: Did Jesus come to destroy sinners, or did He come to destroy sin? I think our main mistake is assuming that God's violence is directed against the image of God in us, when in fact He's like an artist who is angrily removing all imperfections from His work of art.

    • Is Universalism Biblical?

      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.

      • Sam's blog: https://historiakaitheologia.com/
      • Greg Boyd's book "Cross Vision," which attempts to put forward a unique hermeneutic of reading the violent portions of Scripture in light of the cross. https://amzn.to/2MQJbbN
      • The book "Beyond Retribution" https://amzn.to/2ZJPIH0
      • Thomas Talbott, "The Inescapable Love of God" https://amzn.to/2ZHNmbN
      • Jeffrey Trumbower, "Rescue of the Dead" https://amzn.to/2NL0nPG
      • Robin Parry, "The Evangelical Universalist" https://amzn.to/2ZL2WTW

        • 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

      • The Philosophical Misfit shares his journey in and out of Christianity

        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.

        • Go subscribe to his YouTube account: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIUasQ7oRRkAZscaAFCuwtA
        • Here is his Instagram account: @nate.alger https://www.instagram.com/nate.alger/?hl=en
        • ALSO: he has music! Check out Nation Haven https://open.spotify.com/album/4EwdhvGLNpNgK5GUpfHNCc

          • One last thing! If you would like a copy of the book I sent to Nate, click here to purchase Josh Rasmussen's book: https://amzn.to/31XtjaI

          Josh is an amazing guy, and his approach to arguments for God is exactly in line with the spirit of this show.

        • Isaiah 6 — My Favorite Chapter
          In this episode I answer this question: what would happen if we really saw God? And I find the answer in Isaiah 6. We would be amazed at the holiness of God, the depth of our sin, the even deeper depths of God’s grace, and then we would be inspired with zeal to serve God.
