155-Predestination, Revelation, and Rediscovering Spiritual Practices

Hey friends! Welcome to another episode of Thursday Mornings with Alex and Don. Today, we're diving into some big, thought-provoking questions about the Bible and Christian faith.

First up, Pastor Don shares his insights on the age-old debate of predestination and Calvinism. Is everything set in stone, or do we have a say in our destinies? Don unpacks this with a reference to Romans 8 and provides a comforting perspective on God's plan.

Next, we explore the intriguing book of Revelation. Is it literal or metaphorical? Don explains the seven revelations and how they give us different angles on the same grand story, helping early Christians (and us) understand that we're part of something much bigger.

We also tackle why Western culture has drifted away from important spiritual practices like fasting and observing the Sabbath. Don and Alex discuss the convenience culture and how a new generation might be bringing these practices back.

As always, thanks for joining us! Special shoutout to Mason and Niva for their fantastic questions. We hope you find this episode as enlightening and engaging as we did making it. See you next week, Lord Willing!
