In this episode, Eric and Drew dive into a viral tweet that sparked a heated debate about marriage and intimacy, especially in the context of men's struggles after having children. The tweet raised controversial points about feeling neglected in marriage, and we discuss why these topics are often met with outrage instead of honest conversation. We unpack how marital dynamics shift post-children, explore the biblical responsibilities between husbands and wives, and question why the church frequently overlooks the challenges men face in marriage.

We also take a hard look at why evangelical circles tend to only address one side of the issue, asking why it's acceptable to talk about men sacrificing for their wives but not the other way around. It's time to have an honest conversation about the realities of marriage and how both spouses need to serve each other. Join us as we challenge these norms and push for healthier, more balanced discussions on marriage in the church!

Joel Webbon--Calvinistic pastor of Covenant Bible Church in Austin, TX--also addresses this common accusation in a clip from a debate on Total Depravity with Flowers.

Drew and Eric delve into a heated online exchange about the theological implications of God’s role in granting requests—specifically within the context of theistic determinism and baby conception. Responding to a controversial tweet where a Reformed believer thanked God for granting their request for a child, the hosts explore the tension between deterministic theology and how believers live out their faith. They argue that such statements expose inconsistencies in determinism, where petitioning God seems contradictory if all events are already predestined.

Through humor, theological insights, and thoughtful analysis, they challenge their audience to consider whether determinism truly aligns with their everyday spiritual experiences, especially when it comes to prayer and divine interaction.

Eric and Drew, along with guest Warren McGrew of ‪@IdolKiller‬ examine the Canons of Dort, addressing common Calvinist doctrines and their implications. The discussion begins by exploring the purpose and historical context of the Synod of Dort, which aimed to counter Arminianism and establish Reformed doctrine. The hosts argue that the Calvinist perspective, especially the doctrine of double predestination, lacks biblical support and fails to address their criticisms logically. Throughout the episode, they highlight how the Canons of Dort respond to objections not with substantive arguments but by dismissing dissenters as Pelagians or by asserting divine authority without further explanation. The hosts contend that this approach leads to a form of spiritual elitism, where intellectual assent to doctrine is equated with holiness. They emphasize the need for open, scripture-based discussions and critique the tendency of some Calvinists to avoid engaging with their arguments directly.

Arminianism: Reviewing a Theological Discussion 

Eric & Drew take time to address @TheOtherPaul's response to a recent Twitter kerfuffle where they quoted Ronnie Rogers' "Does God Love All or Some?" and got a lot of pushback. They also respond to Edgar and Edwin of @scholasticismreformed166 as they critique their debate with Dr. Feighton Lowers. Eric and Drew talk about the Gospel's effect on the unregenerate on Calvinism in the context of Rogers' quote. They compare a quote from John Calvin and ask if even Calvin was consistent with denying God was the author of sin. Eric highlights the difference between an assertion and making a cogent argument for determinism. Eric & Drew cover additional context from Rogers' quote and discuss whether anything can be meaningfully influential towards faith and repentance on Calvinism. They talk about the lose-lose situation of the James White-like critique of "arguing backwards" and "jumping around" in the Bible. Drew briefly explains the Calvinistic error that is often made about "adoption" in Ephesians 1:5 and Eric highlights the contextual problems that Calvinists have to overcome to make their case for unconditional election in Ephesians 1. Drew closes by explaining the Provisionist perspective on 1 John 2:2 and John 17 as Jesus speaks of "not praying for the world" and John talks about for whose sins Christ died.

Drew interviews author ‪@branthansen‬ about how to become un-offendable in an age of online outrage. Christ is gracious to and loves all and calls us to a higher way.
