    Episode 271: Drawn by Jesus: A Study of John 6 w/ Dr. Leighton Flowers

    For centuries, Christians have wrestled with one of the most important questions in theology: when Jesus says, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him,” what exactly does He mean? Is Christ describing an irresistible act of divine selection given only to a predetermined few, or is He revealing the gracious provision of God through the very person and work of Christ Himself? As we look at the Bread of Life discourse in John 6, is there an emphasis on an unconditional decree, or does the instruction reveal an all-sufficient Christ who satisfies the deepest hunger of mankind? Whether you are firmly committed to Calvinism, deeply opposed to it, or simply trying to understand the text more clearly, today’s episode aims to challenge assumptions, sharpen biblical thinking, and ultimately point listeners back to the beauty and sufficiency of Christ. For this conversation, we are joined by Leighton Flowers, professor of theology at Trinity Seminary and host of the Soteriology 101 podcast. Leighton has recently written a book called Drawn by Jesus, a direct engagement with the Calvinistic interpretation of John 6 and a response to the arguments popularized by James White.

    Episode 268: Dispensational Thought in the First Century w/ Dr. James Fazio, Dean of Bible and Theology at Southern California Seminary

    Dispensationalism has been all over theological and political media recently. It is often discussed but frequently misunderstood and, at times, dismissed by those who have never carefully examined it. As a framework for understanding the Bible, dispensationalism has taken many forms and expressions… So what is dispensationalism? Does it have historical precedent, or is it merely an invention of post-Enlightenment Zionists? Is dispensationalism forcing something onto the text that isn’t there, or is it simply drawing out a framework already embedded in the fabric of Scripture itself? What should dispensationalism look like? Can it be defined using the Bible itself? In this episode, we take a closer look at the idea of God’s unfolding administration across time. Along the way, we challenge common misconceptions, reconsider false assumptions, and explore why a clear, biblically grounded understanding of dispensations matters for how we interpret the whole of God’s Word. For this conversation, we are joined by Dr. James Fazio, Dean of Bible and Theology at Southern California Seminary, and co-editor and contributor to Discovering Dispensationalism: Tracing the Development of Dispensational Thought from the First to the Twenty-First Century.
