In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Leighton Flowers to discuss Calvinism, Provisionism, and the long-standing theological questions surrounding divine sovereignty and human responsibility. Dr. Flowers shares his personal journey from being a committed Calvinist to becoming one of the leading voices defending a non-Calvinistic soteriology. We explore the core claims of Calvinism, Arminianism, and Pelagianism. Dr. Flowers carefully walks through Romans 9, examining how this pivotal chapter should be interpreted and he rejects its traditional Calvinistic reading. This discussion engages both the philosophical and biblical dimensions of the issue, challenging listeners to think carefully about sovereignty, grace, free will, and the nature of God’s saving provision.
