We’ve got a lot to learn—if we’re willing to listen.
After our lively theological encounter between John Calvin and John Wesley, Matt & Matt return to explore the everyday implications of those deep doctrinal debates.
In this episode, we unpack the practical questions surrounding Calvinism and Arminianism:
What do these positions mean for evangelism and discipleship?
Is salvation secure, or can we fall away?
Who is really accountable — and what does that say about God's justice?
How do these views affect the way we see God’s role in our daily lives?
Whether you’ve wrestled with TULIP, find comfort in God’s sovereignty, or feel the weight of human responsibility, this episode invites you into humble reflection rather than heated debate. We're not choosing sides — we're listening, learning, and trying to live faithfully with the tension.
Grab a seat at the table. Let's talk about what it means to be predestined… or persuaded.
