  • Rediscovering the gospel

    I was fortunate to find David Bentley Hart’s exposition of universalism around five years ago. His book has changed my life in so many ways, principally, reinforcing the imperative of the incarnate Christ and his central message which is we are all saved and this is good news – this podcast continues the important mission of bringing sense and meaning to what belief in a loving God entails

  • Illuminating, Inspiring

    As a Christ lover who has escaped the "Plato's Cave" of conservative evangelicalism, I'm thankful for David Artman's podcast that features excellent scholars. God is love. God is light. God is good.

  • Great interviewer, interesting topic

    Because of these interviews I’ve discovered many good books. I highly recommend the early podcasts as they are a great intro to the topic. And if you’ve never read any books on the subject I highly recommend Curt Parton’s ‘Until the Last One’s Found.’ I wouldn’t have known about this book if it wasn’t for you David. Thank you!

  • Hope for the hopeless

    Universalist Christ is what the world needs. People need to hear the good news, but it needs to be a message of redemption. Jesus died on the cross FOR ALL. Buddhist. Muslim. Hindu. And yes, even atheists. For God so loved the world…not one is excluded. And this podcast drives that point home and relies upon scripture and the wisdom of the early church fathers and the most wonderful mystics who communed with God and came to know of God’s love FOR ALL without caveats. Thank you to the creators of... more

  • Thought provoking!

    This a great podcast that both respects scripture and explores the ideas of the early church. I benefit so much!

    (My only critique is Mr. Artman often interrupts his guests too much and they don’t get to finish their thought that us listeners are often hanging on to hear…)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 205 Dr. Craig Johnson - on his book "How to Talk to Your Son about Fascism"
Q: How do young people become engaged with fascist ideas?
They may start with innocuous content that leads to more insidious ideas as algorithms suggest related videos, creating a pathway for radicalization.
Ep. 205 Dr. Craig Johnson - on his book "How to Talk to Your Son about Fascism"
Q: What is the relevance of your book in today's society?
The book deals with how to initiate difficult conversations with young men about fascism and the problems arising from current societal rhetoric.
Ep. 200 Lars Sandbeck - update on discussion about Christian Universalism in the Danish church (plus more reflections on the place of paradox and mystery in theology)
Q: How can anything fall? How can the moment of creation also be the moment of a fall?
The fall should be understood as a cosmic catastrophe that distorts our world and our understanding of creation.
Ep. 200 Lars Sandbeck - update on discussion about Christian Universalism in the Danish church (plus more reflections on the place of paradox and mystery in theology)
Q: Haven't you just really negated grace altogether?
The necessity of grace comes from the divine nature itself, not from coercion, meaning God is free to show love and grace, which aligns with who He is.
Ep. 196 A great conversation/debate with Tim Stewart from Impact Nations about Missions, Cosmic Restoration, and NT Wright (among other things!)
Q: Why do you have to bring in Cosmos and restoration of all things?
Because it has to be holistic; it has to be all things. Through Christ, God reconciled everything to himself.
