Send us a textThe cornerstone of Christian faith—justification by grace through faith alone—remains the most profound yet paradoxically simple concept for believers to grasp. This powerful exploration of Galatians chapter 2 reveals Paul's unwavering defense of gospel purity against those attempting to add requirements to salvation.As we examine Paul's meeting with the apostolic pillars James, Peter, and John, we witness a beautiful moment of unity and confirmation. These church leaders, far from challenging Paul's message to the Gentiles, extend "the right hand of fellowship," recognizing his divine appointment and approving his gospel preaching without adding any requirements.Most striking is Paul's fierce opposition to "false brethren" who had secretly infiltrated the church to undermine believers' freedom in Christ. His refusal to give them "subjection, no, not for one hour" demonstrates the non-negotiable nature of gospel truth. These legalists—attempting to add circumcision and law-keeping to faith—were creating what Paul elsewhere calls "another gospel," a perversion of true grace.The heart of this episode's message addresses why we struggle with accepting the simplicity of grace. There's something in human nature that resists the idea that Christ did everything necessary for our salvation, leaving us nothing to contribute. This resistance manifests in countless expressions of legalism, where believers feel compelled to earn what has already been freely given. As one participant powerfully notes, "The most simple thing in the Bible is the most difficult thing for modern Christianity to understand."Through rich discussion of what justification truly means—being declared righteous based solely on Christ's finished work—we discover how liberating grace can be. When we grasp that our guilt has been completely removed and Christ's righteousness imputed to us, we're freed from the bondage of constant striving and fear of condemnation.Have you been attempting to add requirements to grace? Are lingering feelings of guilt driving you back to law-keeping? Join us as we explore how embracing the true gospel of grace transforms not just our theology, but our entire experience of Christian living.Support the show

Send us a textThe tension between law and grace forms the cornerstone of authentic Christian theology, yet remains one of the most misunderstood concepts in churches today. When Martin Luther rediscovered Paul's radical message in Galatians 2, it sparked the Protestant Reformation and transformed Western Christianity forever.This powerful episode dives deep into why anything added to the gospel fatally corrupts it. Using a compelling analogy of the law as a threatening "mob boss" pursuing those who've received immunity through Christ, we explore how legalism continually attempts to reclaim territory in believers' lives. Paul's strategic introduction of uncircumcised Titus into Jerusalem becomes a masterclass in theological demonstration—proving that salvation requires nothing beyond grace through faith.Against the backdrop of remembering theological titans like John MacArthur and RC Sproul, we examine how their unwavering commitment to grace-centered theology mirrors Paul's refusal to compromise with the Judaizers. The episode highlights Paul's ingenious rhetorical strategy: bringing living proof (Titus) before the apostles to silence those who insisted circumcision was necessary for salvation.The implications reach far beyond ancient theological disputes. Today's Christians face similar pressures to add requirements to salvation—whether baptism, speaking in tongues, political alignment, or adherence to church traditions. This exploration of Galatians 2 provides clarity on distinguishing between salvation's foundation (grace alone through faith alone) and the Christian's response to that salvation.What core beliefs form your understanding of salvation? Have you unconsciously added requirements to what Christ has already accomplished? Join us for this transformative journey through scripture's clearest defense of salvation by grace alone.Support the show

Send us a textHave you ever wondered what sets Christianity apart from every other faith system in the world? It's this: we aren't merely forgiven—we're united with Christ Himself.This profound episode delves into the heart of justification by faith, exploring how salvation comes not through our moral achievements but through Christ's active obedience imputed to us. When we grasp this truth, it transforms our entire understanding of the Christian walk.The conversation unpacks a radical question: If you've been both acquitted of sin and clothed in Christ's righteousness, what law could you possibly fail to keep that would disrupt what Jesus has already accomplished? This liberating truth frees us from the exhausting cycle of trying to earn what's already been given.Like the prodigal son who wasn't just stripped of his filthy clothes but given his father's best robe, we aren't left spiritually naked after forgiveness—we're fully clothed in the perfect righteousness of Christ. This understanding demolishes the performance-based Christianity many of us unconsciously practice.The discussion touches on powerful illustrations including "the man in the iron cage" from Pilgrim's Progress, showing how our nature apart from Christ leaves us trapped in spiritual darkness despite the door standing open. We also explore Peter's journey from failure to bold proclamation of grace, demonstrating that restoration is always available when our hearts remain open to God's work.Join us as we examine what might be the most important teaching any Christian can hear—one that will shift your focus from your own efforts to Christ's finished work. Your relationship with God will never be the same.Support the show

Send us a textWhen does Christian leadership cross the line from imperfection to hypocrisy? Paul's confrontation with Peter over his treatment of Gentile believers cuts straight to the heart of what makes the gospel truly good news.This powerful conversation explores the pivotal moment in Galatians 2 where Paul publicly rebukes Peter for withdrawing from fellowship with Gentile Christians when Jewish believers arrived. The implications are staggering—by his actions, Peter was sending a devastating message that some believers are second-class citizens in God's kingdom, requiring more than faith in Christ to be fully accepted.We dive deep into what justification by faith truly means—not merely legal acquittal, but being brought into union with Christ himself. This understanding renders any attempt to add human effort to salvation not just unnecessary but actively harmful to the gospel message. As one participant powerfully states, "If you understand what justification is, it renders any work of the law for salvation obsolete."The discussion takes surprising turns as we examine modern parallels, like wealthy families in the Gilded Age separating themselves from "the help," and consider how our own actions might contradict the very gospel we claim to believe. If Peter, who walked with Jesus for three years, could fall into such hypocrisy, how carefully must we guard our testimony?With many defenders of justification by faith like R.C. Sproul and John MacArthur passing from the scene, this conversation challenges us all: Who will carry the torch of this essential doctrine? Will you stand firm for the truth that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone?Support the show

Send us a textWhat happens when accommodation crosses into compromise? When does cultural sensitivity become spiritual hypocrisy? This thought-provoking exploration of Galatians 2 examines one of the most dramatic confrontations in the New Testament – when Paul opposed Peter "to his face" over his treatment of Gentile believers.We begin with a provocative question: If Paul criticized Peter for withdrawing from Gentiles to please Jewish believers, why did Paul himself participate in Jewish purification rituals after his third missionary journey? This launches us into a fascinating discussion about Christian liberty, gospel integrity, and navigating cross-cultural ministry without compromising truth.The conversation unpacks Paul's missionary philosophy from 1 Corinthians 9, where he famously states: "To the Jews I became as a Jew... to those without law, as without law." Was this flexibility hypocritical, or was it fundamentally different from Peter's actions? Through careful examination of the biblical text and thoughtful modern applications, we discover that the line between adaptation and compromise often lies in how our actions affect others' understanding of salvation by grace.This episode resonates deeply with contemporary challenges facing believers navigating diverse cultural expectations while maintaining gospel integrity. Whether you're wrestling with denominational differences, cultural accommodation, or how to engage with those from different religious backgrounds, you'll find biblical wisdom for walking this delicate balance with both conviction and compassion.Share this episode with someone who's navigating the tensions between cultural sensitivity and gospel clarity – the principles we uncover provide timeless guidance for authentic Christian witness in a divided world.Support the show

Send us a textEver wonder how your darkest moments might be preparing you for something greater? Paul's journey from religious zealot to gospel preacher offers a powerful blueprint for understanding God's redemptive work in our lives.The conversation dives deep into Galatians where Paul boldly declares that his gospel came "not from man, but through revelation of Jesus Christ." This isn't mere theological posturing—it's a revolutionary claim that challenges everything about how we understand conversion and calling.What makes Paul's testimony so compelling is the dramatic contrast between his former life and his ministry. As he puts it, "I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it." He wasn't just casually opposed to Christianity; he was its chief opponent, "profiting in Judaism above many" of his contemporaries. This background eliminated any human explanation for his transformation.The most profound insight emerges when Paul reveals: "When it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me." This recognition that God set him apart from birth—long before his Damascus road encounter—revolutionizes how we understand divine purpose. Even Paul's years of persecution fell within God's sovereign plan.Listeners share powerful personal testimonies that mirror Paul's experience—from practicing witchcraft to finding Christ, from religious pride to humble service. These stories illustrate how God often repurposes our strongest traits—whether zeal, intellect, or determination—redirecting them from destruction to proclamation.Ready to discover how your past might be preparing you for your purpose? Join us as we continue exploring Galatians, where justification by faith, the true Israel of God, and Paul's confrontation with Peter await in coming episodes. Your own Damascus road moment might be closer than you think.Support the show

Send us a textThat moment when someone attacks your faith but can't handle the truth you're speaking—they don't address your message but instead accuse you of being "unloving" or "prideful." Sound familiar?The gospel has always been what one speaker calls "the sinner's repellent." When shared truthfully, it's never easily palatable. It demands repentance and submission to God's sovereignty—a hard pill to swallow for those seeking spiritual experiences without surrender.We explore how prosperity preachers position themselves as uniquely anointed apostles with special powers, creating entertainment-focused ministries that draw crowds but may present a distorted version of Christianity. These charismatic manifestations sometimes mirror practices found in non-Christian spiritual traditions, yet many believers lack the theological foundation to recognize these deviations.The conversation delves into the critical importance of Christology—understanding who Jesus truly is forms the foundation of authentic faith. Without this, everything becomes distorted. As one participant notes, "If you don't know who Jesus is, start at the book of John," which was specifically written to address Gnostic misunderstandings about Christ's nature.Perhaps most profound is the discussion about predestination and God's sovereign choice in salvation. "If there was no predestination, there would be no grace, because that's where grace began," explains one speaker, highlighting how God's election forms the root of all spiritual blessing.What shines through most clearly is the evident joy these believers find in pursuing greater knowledge of God. Despite being decades into their faith journeys, they speak of growing intensity in their desire to understand God's Word. "I love trying to figure Him out," one person shares—a beautiful testament to lifelong discipleship characterized by both intellectual curiosity and spiritual devotion.Ready to deepen your understanding of authentic faith?

Send us a textWhat happens when we try to add human requirements to God's free gift of salvation? A fascinating, passionate discussion unfolds as believers wrestle with Paul's unwavering commitment to the pure gospel of grace in Galatians.The conversation begins with a foundational question about biblical inspiration. Were Paul's writings truly God-breathed, or did he invent his own version of Christianity? Through careful examination of Scripture, the group affirms that Paul's message aligns perfectly with Christ's teachings, despite modern attempts to drive a wedge between them.At the heart of this spiritual exploration lies a profound psychological insight: humans struggle to accept pure grace. We're culturally conditioned to reject "charity," believing we must earn everything we receive. Yet the gospel deliberately humiliates this pride, offering salvation completely free from human merit or effort. As one participant powerfully observes, "If you can get to God the Father by keeping the law, salvation through Christ is unnecessary."The discussion touches on transformative "eureka moments" in faith—those instances when difficult biblical truths suddenly click into place after periods of wrestling. Rather than softening challenging doctrines to make them more palatable, true disciples present God's Word in its fullness, trusting the Holy Spirit to illuminate understanding in His timing.Whether you're questioning the relationship between faith and works, struggling with religious pride, or simply seeking to understand biblical inspiration more deeply, this conversation offers profound insights into the revolutionary simplicity of the gospel: Jesus Christ plus nothing.Support the show

Send us a textThe battle for the purity of the gospel message has raged since the earliest days of Christianity. In this deep dive into Galatians chapter 1, we explore Paul's passionate defense of the unadulterated gospel of grace against those who would add requirements to it.When Paul writes that he "marvels" at how quickly the Galatian believers were turning to a different gospel, he's expressing genuine shock and dismay. The Judaizers—early Jewish Christians who insisted Gentile converts needed to follow the Law of Moses—were effectively undermining the very foundation of salvation by grace. This episode unpacks Paul's powerful assertion that "the gospel plus anything, or the gospel minus any part of it, suddenly is no longer the gospel."We examine why Paul's language is so strong when he pronounces that anyone preaching a modified gospel should be "accursed"—even if that person were Paul himself or an angel from heaven. This isn't mere rhetorical excess but reflects the eternal stakes involved when the message of salvation is corrupted.The discussion tackles contemporary applications as well. Many religious groups today—from Catholicism to Mormonism to various denominations—hold to aspects of the gospel while adding requirements that transform it into "another gospel." We clarify the role of baptism as an important symbol of our faith that doesn't contribute to salvation itself, addressing the persistent human tendency to want to add something to Christ's finished work.Particularly striking is Paul's rhetorical question: "Do I now persuade men or God?" His concern wasn't winning human approval but faithfully representing God's truth—a challenging reminder for Christians today who might be tempted to soften the gospel's edges to make it more palatable.Whether you're struggling with legalism, curious about what makes the true gospel distinct, or simply wanting to deepen your understanding of Galatians, this episode offers clear, biblical teaching on why grace alone is the foundation of authentic Christian faith.Support the show

Send us a textSomething profound has shifted in modern Christianity. What was once considered sacred and non-negotiable—gathering together on Sunday mornings for worship—has become optional, inconvenient, and increasingly abandoned.This candid conversation explores why Sunday worship matters beyond tradition or obligation. We trace the spiritual significance of Sunday as the commemoration of Christ's resurrection and the establishment of the new covenant. More importantly, we examine why this day has become a battleground, with entertainment, sports, and secular events deliberately scheduled to compete with worship time.The contrast is striking: Christians who meticulously plan Super Bowl parties weeks in advance—coordinating food, activities, and spending significant money—but struggle to muster enthusiasm for weekly worship. Some churches even cancel services to accommodate sporting events while hosting elaborate watch parties in the same building later that day. This reveals our true priorities and the spiritual apathy that has infected Western Christianity."You don't have to go," one participant observed, "but why would you not want to?" This question cuts to the heart of our spiritual condition. When believers in countries where church gatherings are illegal risk everything to worship together, while American Christians debate whether fellowship is "necessary," we're confronting a crisis of spiritual desire, not mere scheduling conflicts.The biblical metaphor of believers as a "flock" that naturally stays together stands in stark contrast to today's individualistic approach to faith. Jesus himself, found in the temple at age twelve, reminded his searching parents, "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" His natural inclination was toward the gathering of God's people.Join us as we challenge the growing acceptance of church absenteeism and recapture the joy that should accompany gathering with fellow believers—not out of obligation, but from a heart that longs to be where God's people meet.Support the show

Send us a textDive into a fascinating exploration of God's triune nature through the Hebrew word "Akid," which reveals how God can be both three and one. Unlike "Yaqid" (absolute singularity), "Akid" describes a "united one" – distinct persons forming a perfect unity. This key linguistic distinction unlocks our understanding of the Trinity throughout Scripture.The discussion examines biblical examples where "Akid" appears – from the creation account's "evening and morning were one day" to male and female becoming "one flesh" in marriage. These illustrations provide a foundation for comprehending how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit constitute one God while remaining distinct persons.The conversation tackles common misconceptions, particularly modalism (Oneness theology), which incorrectly teaches that Jesus is simultaneously Father, Son, and Spirit. Participants demonstrate why this view contradicts numerous Scripture passages showing interaction between the divine persons, such as Jesus' baptism and his promise to send the Holy Spirit.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is its emphasis on approaching the Trinity with intellectual humility. As one participant notes, rejecting the Trinity often stems from pride – an unwillingness to accept that God's nature might transcend human understanding. The Trinity isn't merely an academic doctrine but affects how we understand salvation itself.You'll gain insights into why this doctrine requires a comprehensive reading of Scripture rather than isolated proof texts, and why the Holy Spirit's illumination is essential for grasping this profound truth. The discussion also touches on modern cultural distractions that pull believers away from worship and biblical literacy.Whether you're a seasoned theologian or simply curious about Christianity's central doctrine, this thoughtful conversation will deepen your appreciation for God's complex yet beautifully coherent nature. Listen now to strengthen your theological foundation and grow in your understanding of who God truly is.Support the show

Send us a textThe gospel of grace stands unrivaled in its simplicity and power - yet throughout history, there has always been a tendency to corrupt it with additions. In this illuminating exploration of Galatians, we dive deep into Paul's astonishment that the Galatian believers so quickly abandoned the pure message of grace for a distorted version that required law-keeping alongside faith.At the heart of this discussion is Galatians 2:16, the verse that sparked the Protestant Reformation when Martin Luther discovered its revolutionary truth: "knowing that a man is not justified by the works of law but by faith in Jesus Christ." This single verse dismantled centuries of religious tradition and restored the simplicity of salvation by faith alone. We examine why this concept remains so difficult for many to accept - how our natural pride resists the idea that we contribute nothing to our salvation.The fascinating connection between theological distortions throughout history provides a powerful backdrop for understanding Paul's urgent warning. We explore how Moses Maimonides' subtle change in describing God's nature as "Yachid" (absolute one) rather than "Echad" (united one) created massive barriers to Jewish understanding of the Trinity, paralleling how small additions to the gospel message create entirely false gospels.When Christ declared "It is finished" on the cross, He wasn't suggesting His work was merely a partial solution requiring our supplemental efforts. The gospel stands complete in itself - salvation comes through faith alone, and anything added corrupts the entire message. As Paul boldly states, even if an angel from heaven preached any other gospel, "let him be accursed."For those wrestling with legalism, works-based religion, or questions about the sufficiency of grace, this examination of Galatians provides profound clarity. The freedom Paul fought to preserve remains our inheritance today - a salvation so complete that it requires nothing but faith in what Christ has already accomplished.Support the show

Send us a textWhy do so many Christians bristle at the doctrine of predestination? This profound conversation explores how modern believers often avoid or dismiss biblical teachings that challenge their sense of autonomy and choice."They don't like it because it dethrones them," one participant observes, cutting to the heart of our resistance to God's sovereignty. The doctrine of predestination—God's election of individuals for salvation before the foundation of the world—runs throughout Scripture, yet remains one of the most contested teachings in contemporary churches.We examine how "professional church" culture contributes to this problem, with pastors avoiding controversial doctrines to maintain attendance numbers rather than presenting the full counsel of God. This creates Christians with "minds full of mush" who are shaped by partial truths rather than the complete biblical revelation.The discussion delves into the nature of God Himself, exploring how He transcends human limitations and categories. God doesn't think sequentially as we do, doesn't see with physical eyes, yet knows and sees all things. When we grasp this transcendent nature, doctrines like predestination become more comprehensible.Perhaps most powerfully, we consider how our cultural conditioning against acceptance of help makes grace difficult to understand. We live in a society that tells us to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps," then wonder why we struggle with a salvation that comes entirely by grace.As one participant eloquently states: "They think they're the potter and God is their clay"—a perfect summation of how humans try to fashion God according to their preferences rather than submitting to His sovereign design. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of biblical truth that challenges comfortable Christianity.Support the show

Send us a textThe subtle ordering of Paul's greetings reveals a profound theological truth—grace must always precede peace. This isn't coincidental but reflects the spiritual reality that reconciliation with God begins with His unmerited favor before producing peace between the Creator and His creation. Like the formless void in Genesis awaiting divine illumination, we exist in spiritual darkness until God sovereignly declares "Let there be light" in our hearts.This conversation challenges popular notions about modern apostles and prophets through a careful examination of Ephesians 2, where Paul describes the church as being "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets." Since no building requires multiple foundations, this indicates the apostolic foundation has already been established. The biblical qualification for apostleship required direct appointment from Jesus himself, as exemplified in Paul's Damascus road experience, making modern apostolic claims highly questionable.At its core, Christian ministry serves one ultimate purpose—preparing people for death. Not in a morbid sense, but in the profound reality of readying souls to stand before God with peace and reconciliation. This preparation involves "dying here first" to self, sin, and worldly attachments so we might truly live in eternity. The substitutionary atonement of Christ, who "gave himself for our sins," guarantees this reconciliation isn't merely offered but effectively secured for those who are His.The discussion reveals how Scripture alone "thoroughly furnishes the man of God for every good work," challenging trends toward additional revelations, prophecies, or apostolic declarations. True believers recognize one another through their reverence for God's word and their desire for spiritual growth—not through claims of special authority or revelation. When we embrace the complete sufficiency of Scripture and the finished work of Christ, we find ourselves properly equipped for both life and death.Personalized Cancer Treatment Center in USAWe treat you—not just your illness—with personalized, integrative care, love, and support.Support the show

Send us a textThe simplicity of Christ's gospel is constantly under threat from those who would complicate, distort, or add to it. We explore this tension between the pure message of salvation and the myriad of false teachings that have plagued Christianity since its earliest days.What strikes many as remarkable is how eager believers are to debate complex theological concepts like Calvinism, cessationism, and apostolic succession while struggling to articulate the fundamental gospel message. When asked "What is the gospel?" many launch into lengthy explanations that somehow miss mentioning Christ crucified for our sins. This disconnect reveals a troubling pattern of prioritizing theological sophistication over gospel clarity.We tackle head-on the question of Christ's kingdom, challenging the popular notion that the Kingdom of God is purely future rather than present reality. If Jesus isn't currently King, what is He? The logical inconsistencies in delay-focused eschatology become apparent when examined through Scripture. Unlike every earthly empire that has risen and fallen, Christ's kingdom continues to grow despite opposition. As one participant powerfully stated, "Christians are invincible until the Lord calls us home."False teachings throughout church history share common traits—they typically introduce "new revelations" that contradict established Scripture, often delivered through special messengers or angels. From Mormonism's strange origins to modalism's confusion of the Trinity's persons, these teachings fail the test of biblical consistency. Paul warned the Galatians that any alteration to the gospel message produces "another gospel," which is no gospel at all.The discussion culminates in highlighting penal substitutionary atonement as the diamond of our salvation—the apex of Christianity. When fully understood, this central truth about Christ giving himself "for our sins to deliver us from this present evil world" serves as an anchor against doctrinal drift and false teaching.Ready to strengthen your foundation in the true gospel?

Send us a textPaul's opening words to the Galatians pack a theological punch that resonates far beyond their ancient context. By declaring himself "an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ," he establishes the divine authority behind his message while simultaneously defining what true apostleship means.Contrary to popular misconceptions, apostles weren't merely influential religious leaders. They were directly commissioned by the risen Christ, spoke with divine authority, and performed miraculous signs to authenticate their message. This has profound implications for today's church: since the apostolic office required a post-resurrection calling from Jesus himself, the age of apostles ended with John's death. Anyone claiming apostolic authority now is, by definition, a false apostle.The foundation of our faith rests on what these apostles taught, alongside the prophets of old. Together, they represent God's complete revelation—the Old Testament anticipating Christ, the New Testament revealing Him. This unified foundation creates a unified people. As Paul explains in Ephesians, believers from every tribe and nation form one household of faith, with no distinction between Jew and Gentile in God's family.This unity extends to our fundamental understanding of salvation. Abraham, the father of faith, believed essentially the same gospel we embrace today—he simply looked forward to what we now look back upon. The sacrificial system God established through Moses served as spiritual training wheels, preparing His people to recognize Christ as the ultimate sacrifice. Every lamb slain pointed to the Lamb who would take away the sin of the world.When Christ declared "God so loved the world," He wasn't indicating universal salvation but rather demolishing national boundaries. His love extends without distinction to people from every nation who believe. His sacrifice was specifically for His church—those who would believe in Him from every tribe and tongue.Ready to deepen your understanding of these foundational truths?

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to be justified before God? Is adherence to religious laws necessary for salvation, or is faith in Christ alone sufficient? These questions aren't just theological abstractions—they strike at the heart of what it means to be a Christian.When Paul wrote to the Galatians, he confronted a church in crisis. New believers were being told they needed to follow Jewish ceremonial laws alongside their faith in Christ. Paul's response was unequivocal: salvation comes through grace alone, received by faith alone.The apostle opens his letter by establishing his divine appointment—not from men or through human agency, but directly from Jesus Christ and God the Father. This powerful claim sets the stage for understanding both Paul's authority and the divine nature of Christ, who stands not as a mere man but as equal with the Father.We explore how the law functions as a mirror, revealing our sinfulness without providing any means of cleansing. It serves as a schoolmaster leading us to Christ by exposing our desperate need for something we cannot accomplish ourselves—reconciliation with a holy God. This understanding revolutionized Martin Luther's thinking and sparked the Protestant Reformation.The distinction between living under law versus grace remains profoundly relevant today. Many Christians unconsciously blend the two approaches, creating a burden Jesus never intended his followers to carry. True freedom comes not from perfect rule-following but from resting in Christ's finished work.Join us as we begin our journey through this transformative letter that challenges us to examine whether we're truly living in the freedom Christ purchased or unconsciously slipping back into spiritual bondage. Your understanding of grace might never be the same again.Personalized Cancer Treatment Center in USAWe treat you—not just your illness—with personalized, integrative care, love, and support.Support the show

How does Balthasar argue for hopeful universalism? How does he handle the biblical data? What critiques might be offered from a Thomistic perspective?Does Jacques Maritain provide a better solution to some of Balthasar's worries? Dr. Joshua Brotherton joins us to discuss these topics. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.   John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support   Support the show: Check out my book One Less God Than You: How to Answer the Slogans, Cliches, and Fallacies that Atheists Use to Challenge Your Faith >> www.classicaltheism.com/newbook   Support on Patreon to help keep the podcast going and to allow me to produce even more quality content: www.classicaltheism.com/support
