Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) the American revivalist preacher, is arguably the greatest philosopher/theologian to have ever been born on American soil. His most famous sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, is so prolific that it is still required reading in many high school literature classes. In order to make it more accessible, this episode starts with a small bio that introduces a rendition of the sermon. 

JVS sits down to talk about his testimony, campus ministry, and church planting. Who even is this guy??

Season 2 kicks off! The grace that God has shown to us through Christ Jesus has largely been cheapened by churches that preach a soft, inoffensive gospel. This soft gospel insinuates that the blood of Jesus was spent frivolously and people can acknowledge Him verbally but go on living the way that they were before, with no real sacrifice. But we know that soft gospel is wrong. The blood of Jesus is effective and costly, and requires a bowing of the knee. We must rediscover costly grace!

Vinny Njane, a senior at Drake University, joins the show to share his personal testimony and his passion for service on the last TNT episode of the season. 

I share my hot-take suggestion about when we should try to read our Bibles, and give the reasoning behind it.  

Jen Davis, current Grand View staff member and future Rhode Islander, shares her testimony and talks about the pursuit of wisdom. 

Every one of us has been made for the glory and exaltation of the Lord Jesus. Tune in to Episode 13 to find out what that means!

Tanner's other roommate, Eman, swings by. He's an electrician's apprentice and hangs with the Drake peeps. They talk beards & Bible. 

Tanner talks about how music can shape our affections for Jesus and walks through the story of Charles Wesley's hymn, And Can It Be That I Should Gain.
