It’s almost Father’s Day, so we are here with a special episode about fatherhood! Steve and Rich share their experience as fathers as well as the importance of fathers. Father’s Day can be a difficult time for some, especially if you have a negative relationship with your dad. God is the perfect Father. He never fails and is always faithful. As, Christians, fathers should reflect God and model His character to their kids. The role of a father is truly powerful, and Steve and Rich offer advice on how to steward it well. Happy Father’s Day!

Today is the last episode of our long-awaited predestination series — for now! To wrap up this topic, we cover works and faith. Is faith a work? If it is, how do you know if you’re truly saved? The Bible says that it is by grace we are saved, through faith, and it is not a result of works. What does that mean in terms of predestination? So many believers feel insecure about their salvation, but do they have grounds to feel that way? Steve and Rich give their final thoughts on predestination and salvation, and assure us that our salvation is secure!

We are so excited to be back with you today on Resident Strangers! Steve, Sarah, and Rich are continuing the conversation about the Calvinist view of predestination, specifically the order of salvation. Have you ever thought about the process of how people are saved? Does God call us to respond to the gospel message and be made alive by the Holy Spirit first, because we cannot do it on our own? This idea is known as total depravity and regeneration, which the Calvinistic view says are crucial steps in the order of events in salvation. Our hosts go over what the Bible means to be dead in sins and being born again, along with the biblical order of salvation. At what point does faith occur in the order of salvation, and who initiates it—God or us? As you listen to this episode, we encourage you to think—which order of salvation best reflects the character of God as both just and merciful? Which one is best supported by the Bible?
