1. Hey, careful, man, there’s a theologian here! Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Erasmus of Rotterdam’s discourse on The Freedom of The Will. In his debate with Martin Luther, how did Erasmus lose the battle but win the war over the doctrine of free will? How does it continue to influence the church today?
  2. Psalm 13 is a story of sorrow and joy, confession and absolution, it declares that God has answered all our trouble.
  3. Psalm 55 instructs us to call out to God and look to His sure promises when sin and darkness assails us.
  4. Is there any assurance when it doesn't feel like God is with you?
  5. The Psalmist speaks about how God delivers the poor and needy.
  6. Psalm 38 shows a confession of sin that seeks and trusts in God alone forgiveness.

  8. Crumbling and forsaken, a cry goes out to God.
  9. Psalm 31 delivers the promise that God is our deliverer and steadfast refuge.
  10. You’re not making Christianity better; you’re making Stoicism worse. Gillespie and Riley continue their discussion of free will and predestination by reading Clement of Alexandria. Where does the doctrine of free will originate? What happens when a Christian blends biblical theology and philosophy? Why doesn’t Riley like Star Wars sermons?
  11. I thought we had something, but then you do and pull this. Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Iranaeus on free will and predestination. What part do Christians play in their salvation? Do we choose to sin? Who goes to hell?
  12. Just Think of This As a Friendly Test That Could Get You Thrown into Hell, Or Not... Your Choice. Why do we demand that the choice be ours as regards our salvation or damnation? How does the doctrine of free will result in us hating God and each other? What about the influence of free will and predestination on popular culture?
