Welcome back T&J family! This week we are having a throwback episode. The series we did on hell was well received and really helped us on our theology journey. Many of you are here because of this series while many more have started listening after we went through the topic of hell. Since life has been crazy for both of us, we thought we would republish this episode for those who have never heard it or want to think back through the topic again. The idea of Christian Universalism is not prominent, so we look forward to your thoughts and opinions on the topic. Next week we will back to with our normal show. Enjoy!Email us your thoughts and feedback to large23onsweetwheat@yahoo.com
"Let us know what you think."We are not so far from a universal view of Christianity as we might think.
Have you ever wondered about the fate of those who don't profess faith in Jesus? Can a loving and merciful God condemn billions of people to eternal torment? How do we reconcile these questions with the heart of the gospel?In this message, we dive into one of the most challenging questions for Christians in our ongoing series, "Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith." Together, we explore the different perspectives Christians have taken over the centuries—Christian Exclusivism, Universalism, and Inclusivism—while reflecting on what scripture, tradition, reason, and experience can teach us about the nature of God's love, mercy, and justice.This message isn't about pushing a single viewpoint; it's about equipping you to reflect deeply, wrestle honestly with doubts, and grow in your understanding of faith. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and an open heart as we engage in meaningful dialogue about salvation, God's character, and the call to share our faith.Speaker: Pastor Mark ReynoldsVenue: First United Methodist Church (Cocoa Beach, FL)Don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you never miss an update.
In this TALKS Episode Tim engages with Matthew J. DiStefano, author of 'Heretic, Too!', exploring themes of theology, church experiences, and the concept of heresy. They discuss DiStefano's journey from conservative evangelicalism to a more progressive theology, including his views on Christian Universalism and the importance of dialogue in understanding faith. He discusses the challenges of navigating certainty and uncertainty in belief systems, the importance of personal experience in understanding faith, and the need for self-love and acceptance, especially for those in the LGBTQ community.

[Contributors to this Episode: Joey Svendsen, Hayne Griffen, Jack Hoey, Derek Kubilus]In EP10 of the Podcast, 4 months or so ago, Derek Kubilus introduced us to his perspective on a Universal salvation plan carried out by Jesus, captured in his new book, Holy Hell. Regular guest, Jack Hoey, read the book and didn't have a positive reaction, even felt like it was contemptuous. Hosts Joey Svendsen and Hayne Griffen beg to differ, and the four discuss.

Christian Universalism is a subtle heresy that's frighteningly common among GenZ today. It's a way that teenagers can affirm that "Christ is the only savior" and make other gospel-sounding affirmations while fully embracing the hyper-tolerant worldview of today's culture. In today's conversation, we discuss what Christian Universalism is and how youth workers can help students build their faith on the biblical message. Discussion Questions: What do we mean by universalism and Christian Universalism in particular? Can you walk us through some of the logic behind Christian Universalism and some of the key Bible verses? Why do you think Christian Universalism is so appealing to today's teenagers? How can youth workers preach the gospel of grace without falling into one of two errors: accidentally implying Christian Universalism, or nuancing the gospel so thoroughly it's become clunky and confusing? How do you recommend youth workers to respond when talking with a teenager who considers themselves a Christian but affirms Christian Universalism? Andrew Slay is an Assistant Pastor at Westwood Baptist Church in Cleveland, TN, where he oversees ministry to high school and middle school students. He's working on his PhD in Apologetics and Culture from NOBTS. Recommended Resources The following books include Amazon Affiliate links, which provide YPT with a small financial benefit.

The next set of details come from the second reading, taken from Philippians 2:6-11. The relevant apologetical topics that arise with these details are Christ's divinity and Christian universalism, the idea that all we will be saved in the end. The la…

Can Satan be redeemed? Is Christian universalism a valid option for Christians? These are just a few of the questions I explore with Dr. Michael McClymond, an outspoken critic of Christian Universalism. We also talk about what the church has taught about universal salvation throughout history and offer a biblical, philosophical, and theological critique.

“For it logically follows that if God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful, then God must also be all-saving.” Often dismissed as a modern feel-good theology, Christian universalism is an ancient, orthodox, and biblical theology that was expounded by early Christians and early church fathers. Artman brings much-deserved attention to this wonderful spirituality. In this conversation, David Artman shares that grace saves alone and goes to all. This inclusive approach to Christianity is variously called universal reconciliation, universal salvation, or perhaps most accurately, Christian universalism. David shares that the inclusive/Christian universalist approach is necessary because it offers the only Christian theology that successfully defends the goodness of God.

They also chat a bit about Richard Rohr (one of those who made the Enneagram popular) and his theology, self-oriented spirituality, mental health & social media, and a not-often discussed part of the Gospel message. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Our guest today is David Artman, who is the host of another podcast called “Grace Saves All.” This ancient Christian theology was advocated by prominent Christian leaders in the early centuries of the faith, and it is now enjoying a modern revival. It understands grace to be the effective saving presence of God in the lives of all people, and it anticipates that all persons will finally experience union with God.
In this episode of Faith for Normal People, Pete hosts a conversation with Robin Parry about the historical roots, biblical references, and common misunderstandings related to universal salvation in the Christian tradition—as well as the hope it might offer as part of God's cosmic plan.

Co-hosts Chip Judd (very long-time Christian) and Matt Oxley (long-time Christian, gone atheist) discuss with Joey what he finds to be an "impossible position" Christians are in when it comes to their kids and the doctrine of hell. If dreaded eternal separation is on the table of possibilities, fear and life-trauma [in the end] is a good thing, especially if one is scared enough to repent and avoid going there. Right? Chip and Matt both agree that religious people have taken advantage of this doctrine to control people. They also agree that a fixation on eternal separation makes for lousy Christians. Joey makes a case again for Christian Universalism and Matt proposes that Jesus failed, if everyone isn't saved. Why are so many Christians not able to find peace while holding a belief in hell, while others can go about their life normally, not bothered by their many friends and family perishing in the end? Do Christians really believe in hell? What is humanity's flaw, and what is the gospel anyway? A hell of an episode (pun intended). Love the show?

What is Christian Universalism and how can we spot the lie when it sounds like it holds to many doctrines of the true Christian orthodox faith? Today I'm sharing how to be on the look out for this false teaching and why it matters. Show Notes: sheprovesfaithful.com/podcast/episode219 Support $5 a Month: patreon.com/sheprovesfaithful
I've got a fist-full of questions sent in from my Patreon supporters, some of which I answer here. Questions addressed in this public podcast: Can I make a scriptural case for Christian Universalism? What do I think about asexuality, demisexuality, graysexuality? Is the debate about same-sex marriage kind of like the debate about women in church leadership? It seems like there's a 50/50 chance that my baby daughter will have gender dysphoria–is that true? Can I recommend any good books on sex and marriage? And will we have memories of earth in our resurrected bodies? –––––– PROMOS Save 10% on courses with Kairos Classroom using code TITR at kairosclassroom.com! –––––– Sign up with Faithful Counseling today to save 10% off of your first month at the link: faithfulcounseling.com/titr or use code TITR at faithfulcounseling.com –––––– Save 30% at SeminaryNow.com by using code TITR –––––– Support Preston Support Preston by going to patreon.com Venmo: @Preston-Sprinkle-1 Connect with Preston Twitter | @PrestonSprinkle Instagram | @preston.sprinkle Youtube | Preston Sprinkle Check out Dr. Sprinkle's website prestonsprinkle.com Stay Up to Date with the Podcast Twitter | @RawTheology Instagram | @TheologyintheRaw If you enjoy the podcast, be sure to leave a review. www.theologyintheraw.com
