Do you know what antinomianism means? How about propitiation? Can you explain why they matter? Biblical theology isn’t just for scholars and ivory tower theologians. It's accessible for each Christian, so that we would become heavenly-minded for our earthly good. In 3-minute challenges, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary students Aaron Batdorf and Michael Carlino push each other to make deep theological topics accessible and applicable for every believer. Their aim in making theology accessible is that we would: love God, know truth, and live accordingly. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/accessibletheology/support
