Bobby and Garrett answer more questions from the listeners!
Question 1: "As a young 20-year-old man, with the knowledge you both have at this stage in your lives, where would you recommend a Christian man begin to learn more about the topics that are discussed on this podcast (Calvinism, Theology) and how to study the word of God deeper? Books, articles, videos, whatever you guys recommend."
Question 2: “How do you prevent Ministry burnout? What advice would you give to someone who is burned out, and losing hope due to lack of results?”
Question 3: “Here's a common question that most Arminian(s) or non-Calvinists struggle with, that I think your audience on both sides would benefit from tackling. I'll put the question in a form of an argument.
Premise 1: God created man with free will.
Premise 2: Human will, became subject to evil and man is born in sin.
Premise 3: God only decrees a few to be saved.
Conclusion: There will be some who are destined to eternal destruction through no fault of their own-purely based on Adam’s sin.
Of course, an Arminian, is making a huge implicit assumption here that some wouldn't sin at all. But you get the idea, essentially, how come God doesn't give us an out and holds us accountable for someone we can't control? To an Arminian, the only way out is to think God extends salvation offer to EVERYONE.”
