Episode 170 - Canceling Calvin with Warren McGrew

Warren was once a Calvinist. He accepted Calvin's five points (TULIP). But, he walked away from Calvinism. I'd like to find out why.

I have, in fact, never been a Calvinist nor have I been able to square what I consider a circle. We may do an episode with a Calvinist in the future to flesh out what they think we missed, but for now, let's take a look at theology, the goodness of God, and what it's like to fight James White.
