1. In this episode, Paulson uncovers the "cold treatment" for predestination sickness.
  2. Happiness in Slavery. We continue to read and discuss the parable of the Grand Inquisitor, in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s, The Brothers Karamazov. In this episode, the Grand Inquisitor details why Jesus’ rejection of Satan’s temptations in the wilderness doomed humanity.
  3. Jesus does not take the easy way out, but takes the hard path so that you don't need to.
  4. In this episode, Paulson identifies the worry that all religion tries to answer "Am I chosen by God?"
  5. Why? Why? Why? We read and discuss Dostoevsky’s parable of the Grand Inquisitor. What happens when we discuss evil and the work of the evil one apart from God’s Word, his preacher, and Christ’s cross?
  6. The irony of guilt and innocence abounds in this passage: Jesus is innocent but condemned; we are guilty but set free.
  7. In this episode, Paulson helps listeners envision Luther's idea that the preacher is a "long-bowman" taking aim at the heart.
  8. Judas, Peter, and you are all betrayers of Jesus, and yet He does the work necessary to forgive your sins.
  9. We have special guest Sarah Crowder to talk with us about interacting with the teens in our lives--whether our own, in our churches, or neighborhoods--in a way that helps them understand the gospel.
  10. We continue our conversation with Nancy Guthrie and how life changing it can be to find Christ in the Old Testament--and not just in the prophecies. It's transformative, and as she would say, there's nothing more practical.
