Last week’s inaugural episode of “Casting Across the Pond” was so successful that Derek, Alastair, and Andrew turned around and did one again.
Two business items: first, we’re open to changing the name, if anyone has a better. Put your suggestions in the comments below. Second, many of you requested the ability to download them. That’s now enabled for both episodes: sorry for missing it the first time around!
This week’s conversation launches off from Zach Hunt’s open letter to John Calvin and Fred Sanders’s post at Scriptorium Daily.
As always, follow Derek, Alastair, and Andrew for smart thoughts on this and much more.
Special thanks to Christopher Hutton for his sound editing work on it.
My name suggestion: Radical Calvinists Host Authentic Thoughts Ever-Relevant with Zugzwanged
Well, that sounds like a winner to me.
Or “R-CHATERZ” for short?
I confess to making a really lame #protfuture joke. But you can read it that way, too!
Nice PondCast.

as elder) that we had to be careful. God was not truly sorry for Jerusalem (as
Jesus’ tears might mislead us into believing). We know this because before the
foundation of the world……
It occurred to me that the circle I was a part of (and it is a huge circle
in America) might be playing around the edges of Christological heresy in that
they believe in a god who was up to something other than what we see in Jesus.
If Christ is of one substance with the Father, then why are we allowing
particular understandings of St. Paul to tweak away what we find in the
gospels?
[…] like I was chatting with my podcast buddies about this in the last episode (which you should go listen to!), and Andrew off-handedly commented about the fact that not every […]
One Pod in Three Persons :-)
All y’all are lame at naming things. Just saying. : )
If this is gonna be a regular thing, will there be a dedicated feed so I can add it to my podcast app?
Could you please transcribe this podcast?
