  • Informative Podcast

    Updated review: Still a good show with very good information. The the sing-song “keep grace in focus” at the end is somewhat annoying. If they are looking for a slogan, that is a good one, however, it doesn’t need to be delivered with varying degrees of silliness. The fairly recent addition of announcements, ads, etc. in the middle of the show is a bridge too far. It is out of place and really disrupts the flow of the show. Reconsider, please.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Do We Have to Believe to be Saved?
Q: Why do I have to believe if Christ paid for everyone?
Belief is the condition that activates the gift of eternal life; Christ's death makes salvation available, but faith is the means by which individuals receive that gift.
What Does it Mean That We Are Created in the Image Of God?
Q: What does it mean that man and woman were created in the image of God?
It refers to our nature and the capacity to reflect God's character, including aspects of relationship, dominion, and creativity, rather than a physical resemblance.
Does Romans 11:22 Teach That Salvation Can Be Lost?
Q: Okay, what does Romans 11:22 mean in the big picture?
The passage is about the faith response of Gentiles and the historical fate of Israel, not a blanket statement that eternal life can be lost; present blessing can be forfeited, but eternal life itself remains secure for believers.
Does John 14:12 Mean Believers Will Do Good Works?
Q: Does this verse mean that all believers will do good works and that works are the test of saving faith?
The hosts explain that the verse is about the apostles' extended ministry and does not guarantee that every believer will perform greater works or even a consistent level of good works. Assurance should be grounded in Christ's promise, not in quantified works, and perseverance is not mandated by this single verse.
Do Unbelievers Have a Spirit?
Q: All right, Bob, we've got a question from Lindsay, and this is a very philosophical one. So the short version of her question is, do unbelievers have a spirit?
Bob begins by surveying biblical passages like John 3:6, discusses the dichotomy vs. trichotomy of human nature, and then considers how the Holy Spirit relates to unbelievers versus believers, ultimately arguing that unbelievers do possess a human spirit even before salvation, though it is not indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
