  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 230 Jordan Daniel Wood responds to Trent Horn's assertion that Universalism is the Biggest Heresy Destroying the Church (in ep. 1066 of The Counsel of Trent podcast)
Q: What is your main critique of Trent Horn's use of canons and historical sources in his defense of universalism?
The critique centers on the misquotation or misrepresentation of canonical texts, the failure to quote exact wording, and the over-simplified labeling of universalism as a uniform, definitive stance across centuries, which obscures the nuanced and varied positions in the patristic and medieval periods.
Ep. 228 Andrea Pitzer (of the Next Comes What podcast) on Recognizing and then Not Conforming to Fascism
Q: What personal experiences influenced your view of fascism?
Andrea discusses growing up in evangelical circles, the lure and danger of authoritarian leadership, and how personal history colors her analysis of modern fascist tendencies.
Ep. 227 William Paul Young : Why he now more confidently affirms Apocatastasis, and his sequel Return to the Shack
Q: Had you always intended on a sequel or was it something that came organically after a period of time?
The sequel evolved organically after being asked about it; it wasn't planned from the start but grew out of ongoing engagement with readers and the characters' development over time.
Ep. 225 Mark Lama - (Math Teacher and Greek Scholar) on his dramatic journey to Christian Trinitarian Universalism (and his fresh translation of Gregory of Nyssa!)
Q: How did your family background influence your early spiritual outlook?
I grew up with a Presbyterian father and a homeschooling environment that eventually led me to a deep internal struggle, a turning point during my teens, and later a search that brought me into a broader, more inclusive view of salvation rooted in ancient Christian thought.
Ep. 223 Dr. Collin Cornell - author of God Draws Near: Rethinking the Biblical Theology of Mission (plus a discussion about Christian Universalism!)
Q: Could you summarize the central shift in your view of mission that you argue for in the book?
The central shift is moving from a primarily repair-focused narrative of mission (driven by judgment and salvation from sin) to a layered understanding where God is already near, blessing, and drawing near to all creation, with Jesus as the unity of both tracks.
