1. We’d like to say that Craig and Troy wrestle with the teaching of election, but actually, it’s no struggle at all. The promises of God are freely given to all in Christ, and the elect are those who are in Him. He alone is our security.
  2. Daniel and Erick are recording live from The Belmont Hotel in Dallas, Texas!
  3. In this episode we talk about the gifts God gives His church, even in the midst of an unbelieving world.
  4. The Thinking Fellows are joined by Stephen Pietsch for a live recording in Bergen Norway.
  5. Daniel and Erick start Paul’s letter to the Philippians in this episode. To live is Christ, to die is gain, and some suffering is a gift.
  6. Daniel and Erick wrap up 2nd Peter. Jesus seems to be taking His time coming again. Why does God’s “soon” take so long?
  7. Peter freaks out on false teachers but argues that the atonement is for the very worst of heretics.
  8. Sometimes life is hard and seems unbearable. How could someone actually rejoice in suffering?    The Apostle Paul writes to us in Romans 5:3 "...we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Join Craig and Troy as they talk about suffering and character.   
  9. Daniel and Erick begin 2 Peter in this episode. They spend some time discussing some of the controversy around this book and how to engage with it.
  10. Daniel and Erick wrap up the 1 Peter in this episode. There is some discussion about ecclesiology and why Peter calls himself an elder.
  11. What does Peter mean when he says those who suffer have ceased from sin? Do we ever become sinless?
  12. Did Jesus really descend into hell? And did Peter just say Baptism saves us?
