Episode 144: Examining Calvinist Theology with Leighton Flowers

Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism for Texas Baptists and professor of Soteriology at Trinity Theological Seminary joins us to discuss the topic of Calvinism. He shares his personal testimony of salvation and his journey to undo the Calvinist theology he once held. Dr. Flowers has become known over the last few years as one of the leading voices in opposition to Calvinism through his podcast, Soteriology 101. On his show, he has taken great care to respectfully counter the arguments of many of the leading Calvinists today. In this episode, Leighton lays the foundation of why it is important to counter deterministic theologies in the Church, briefly showing us historical roots and examples of redefinitions in biblical vocabulary to fit the Calvinist worldview. We primarily focus today’s conversation on the soteriology of Calvinism and the way in which it ultimately fails to interpret Scripture contextually.
