The Bad Calvinists are three pastor-friends ministering in South Central Ohio. We are in the PC(USA), a denomination that some call the mainline, others say is liberal, and still others deem heretical. We call it home! We’re Calvinists because the Presbyterian tradition finds its roots in the teachings of John Calvin. We’re bad because we critique and challenge the tradition from within, as an act... more

As a PC(USA) pastor it is very refreshing to hear three pastors working through the journey we call faith. I thank you gentlemen for your knowledge, your insights and your passion for God, the Bible and theology.

I love to hear these pastors discuss topics through the lenses of scripture and I love the critique that they offer on Calvinist theology. It’s thoughtful, comforting, and practical.
After two episodes, I find myself grateful for the generative conversation among these pastors, reminding me of what I have known deep down in my bones, what we learned to articulate in seminary, and what we wrestle with every day as we try to preach the gospel into life.

You all are awesome. I love being able to listen on my way to work and really start the day with a discussion about the bible. I love how real and honest you all are about the world.
