When it comes to my own worldview and journey in theology and the Bible, this was a question to settle on an answer for: Did Jesus die for every person who ever lived, or only for the elect? And then there were the follow-up questions: If Jesus died for the everyone, ever, then why weren't their sins paid for? Why do they still go to Hell? And if Jesus died for a "category" of people (and we join that category through deciding to have faith), then can I ever really say that "Jesus died for me?" This is where the heart of the difference lies between Roman Catholics and Reformed Protestants on this issue: the Reformed can say "Jesus Christ loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). This is Limited Atonement, or "Particular Redemption" expressed.Watch my whole Apologetics Answers playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfSpUNYR5qo6sv8Pk8x0tmaq8lLQHHlTm&si=FlnSB-pBhZ6SSaJEMen, get real accountability and knowledge to help you become the worldview leader your family and church need.

Abortion Isn’t “Healthcare.” It’s Killing.Joel Settecase sits down with anesthesiologist Dr. Brian Warren and abolitionist Michael Rogers to rip the mask off abortion—medically, morally, and biblically. No euphemisms. No political double-speak. Just brutal truth for Christians and non-Christians.In this episode you’ll hear:A medical expert explain exactly what happens in common abortion procedures (D&C, D&E, abortion pill).Why “termination” and “women’s healthcare” language is deceptive cover for something nefarious.The truth about abortion pills, complications, and why ERs are seeing the fallout.Straight answers on hard cases: life of the mother, ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriage.Does the Bible support abortion? How Scripture actually talks about the unborn (Exodus 21, Luke 1, etc.) and why abortion is rightly called murder.For Christian men and pastors who refuse to stay silent:Why cowardly pulpits helped normalize abortion—and how to push back.How to lead your family and church to defend life from conception to natural death.Real hope in Christ for anyone who’s had, paid for, or enabled an abortion.Join the Hammer & Anvil SocietyWant brothers who won’t fold on issues like this?

How bad is sin—really?Joel Settecase tackles total depravity head-on—why humans aren’t just “broken” but spiritually dead, why that matters for the gospel, and where Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and “provisionists” get it wrong. This is straight, no-fluff theology for men who want to lead.In this episode you’ll hear:What total depravity / total inability actually means (not “as bad as possible,” but “corrupt in every part”).Why “I’m a good person” collapses when you see God’s standard of perfection, faith, and His glory.How Scripture proves our minds, hearts, and wills are enslaved to sin apart from Christ.How this doctrine explodes your view of grace, regeneration, and the cross.2 big mistakes non-evangelicals make:Roman Catholic: “But Noah and Job were righteous!” Eastern Orthodox: “Total depravity erases the image of God!” A third challenge: the “we’re not born depraved” crowdFor Christian men who are done with soft theologyPerfect if you want to:Lead your family with confidence in God’s Word.Understand Calvinism beyond the memes and strawmen.Engage Catholics, Orthodox, and non-Reformed friends with clarity and courage.Join the Hammer & Anvil SocietyWant brothers who are serious about doctrine and discipleship?
