Part 2 of our "Calvinism" series focuses on the first point in the popular acrostic: "T.U.L.I.P.", also known as the "doctrines of grace", or the "5 points of Calvinism".
"Total Depravity" is a doctrine that many evangelical Christians would probably verbally affirm, on its face, without actually understanding all that it entails. This was certainly the case for many of us. We agreed that man has a sinful nature, that he is inclined towards sin, that we're saved by grace through faith, and that we must repent and believe in Christ or we will perish in our sins. But what if the bible actually teaches that fallen man cannot do that? That he isn't willing or able to lift even a finger towards God? What would be the implications? This was the burning question that our church began wrestling with at the early stages of our reformation. What seemed at first to be a minor issue of doctrinal nitpicking, soon turned into a snowball that eventually became an avalanche demolishing much of our theology. All to the glory of God! We pray this episode is a blessing to all who will listen. May our understanding of who we are only serve to magnify God's grace in our hearts. And may we never grow tired of hearing about it!

Calvinism - Part 1
As our church embarked on a journey of laying aside our presuppositions and allowing God's Word to determine our doctrine, we came into a theological clash over the issue of soteriology (the doctrine of salvation). Ultimately the foundation for our shift from what we would now call a "man-centered" to a "God-centered" theology came as we surrendered to what Scripture teaches regarding God's sovereignty. The result of this change was devastating to our church. Many people left. Some, amicably. Some, angry. Many, without a word. Though it was painful to endure, we are grateful to God for His gracious correction. Calvinism is a difficult subject to discuss due to the many misunderstandings, mischaracterizations, and front-loaded theological assumptions surrounding the doctrine. Our goal is to walk patiently through our journey of discovering the "doctrines of grace", how they point us away from ourselves and towards the glory of God, and to address many of the common objections along the way. But there is no way to properly introduce these doctrines without laying out the foundation of God's sovereignty, from which they flow. So this episode will serve as part 1 of our "Calvinism" series, which will consist of several episodes in the weeks/months to come. We hope you are blessed by them. Soli Deo Gloria!

Escaping Charismatic Chaos
In episode three, we discuss our massive shift away from the pentecostal/charismatic tradition and how close we come to absolute chaos. We talk about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, demon slaying, emotionally driven worship services, and "me-centered" worship music. Believe it or not, the bible actually has a lot to say about these things, yet many churches simply choose to worship in whatever way makes them happy. The result is ignorant worship at best, self worship at worst. Maybe you are a part of a church or even leading a church that is caught up in the chaos and emotionalism of man-centered worship. We invite you to take a listen as we tell a little more of our story.
