Send us a text In this episode, we finally conclude our series talking through the doctrines of grace by addressing probably the main theological thread running through it all - God's Sovereignty. What does it really mean when we say that God is Sovereign? What are the implications of that truth? Do we get a choice in the matter? This episode not only concludes this series in the doctrines of grac...

Send us a text In this episode, we talk about the final of the five points of Calvinism - Perseverance of the Saints. What are the implications of the truth: once saved always saved? Isn't it prideful to be confident in your salvation? How should we think about those who seem to have walked away from the faith? We seek to answer these and other questions like them in this episode. Support the show

Send us a text On "Leftovers" we take just 15 minutes to discuss important topics like this one: COVID restrictions. How should Christians think about and respond to the government placing restrictions on our lives such as masks during the COVID-19 pandemic? We pray this helps and is an encouragement for Christians to rest in the Sovereignty of God. If you have a topic you would like us to discuss...

Send us a text The Grace of God is a powerful thing - on that truth we probably all agree. The question is: once God displays His grace to our hearts, can we resist it and reject His Gospel? The last episode we dove into the most controversial of the doctrines of grace, and this is probably a close second on that front. As with all the others, there are misunderstandings we seek to clear up and qu...

Send us a text This is our first installment of "Leftovers" where we take just 15 minutes to discuss important topics like this one: The presidential election in America. How should Christians be thinking about the results of the election? We recorded this episode before the results had been tallied so this is from a perspective of not even knowing who will be the president come January 2021. We p...

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into the very controversial and misunderstood doctrine of limited atonement. This is admittedly probably the most difficult of the 5 points of Calvinism and is normally the one that receives the most criticism. But what does this doctrine actually teach? If this doctrine is true, how can we evangelize and tell everyone that God loves them and Jesus died for...

Send us a text Unconditional election is a doctrine that has continued to be at the center of Christian debates in recent, modern history. But what exactly is the doctrine of election? What are some of the misconceptions about it? What does all of this mean for evangelism? Does God actually predestine people to hell? Find out our answers to these and other questions in this episode. Support the sh...

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into the doctrine of "Total Depravity." Just how bad is our sinful nature and condition? What exactly does it mean that we are born dead in our sin? Do we have the free will to choose to believe in Jesus? These are all very important questions that we dive into during this episode. We also address a few of the misconceptions about this doctrine. Support the...

Send us a text We have gotten several listener questions about divine election and reformed theology. So we thought we would answer them by doing a 6-part series on the Doctrines of Grace. This intro episode is longer than normal episodes but contains important information that you don't want to miss as we begin this series. If you have ever wondered where Reformed Theology came from, this episode...

Send us a text Can we just leave the study of Theology to the pastors, professors, and theologians? Aren't we just called to love God and love others? Why do we need to know these intellectual terms and doctrines? Maybe these are questions you have asked yourself before. If this is an episode that you're considering skipping over because it doesn't seem important to you, it may be an indicator tha...

Send us a text In this episode, we discuss whether a true believer can lose their salvation or not. Spoiler alert: you can't. So what do we do with those who we know used to profess faith in Christ, but now claim they don't believe anymore? We will dive into theology and our own personal experience in order to try to answer some of these questions. Kenny references a sermon of his on Hebrews 6 dur...

Send us a text Many Christians have asked the question: "How do I know if I'm truly saved?" Is it possible to answer that question confidently without being arrogant or prideful? What book of the Bible talks about this in detail? How can I help a friend or family member struggling with this? We seek to answer these questions on today's episode. Support the show

Send us a text On this episode, we dive into the Good News of Christ's Redemption for us on the cross. This is part 2 of a 2-part series on the Gospel. In light of the truth that we are sinners before a Holy God, how can we be forgiven of our sin? What does our redemption actually mean, and how should we live in light of it? We seek to answer these and other questions about our Redemption in this...

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into The Gospel. If you've been a Christ-follower for any amount of time, you may assume that you know the Gospel and don't need to hear it again. We believe that it's important to preach the Gospel to ourselves daily and we hope this 2-part episode will help you do that. We also pray that this helps you as you seek to share the Gospel with your family, frie...
