Why I Reject Calvinism | Episode 11 with Dr. Leighton Flowers

Calvinism has become one of the most divisive and debated doctrines in the modern church. In this episode, Daniel sits down with Dr. Leighton Flowers, former Calvinist, theologian, and host of Soteriology 101, to confront the toughest questions head-on. They examine shocking claims like regeneration before faith, the morality of Romans 9, the problem of evil, and why some high-profile Christians have walked away from the faith altogether. Whether you’re Reformed, non-Calvinist, questioning, or just curious, this episode will push you to think carefully about what the Bible actually teaches and why it matters for real people.#DanielKolenda #LeightonFlowers #Calvinism #Soteriology101 #Regenerationbeforefaith #Romans9 #Predestination #freewillf #determinism #TULIPtheology #ReformedTheologySoteriology101: https://soteriology101.comBooks by Dr. LeightonThe Potter's Promise: A Biblical Defense of Traditional Soteriology: https://amazon.com/Potters-Promise-Biblical-Traditional-Soteriology/dp/0692561846/God's Provision For All: A Defense of God's Goodness: https://amazon.com/Gods-Provision-All-Defense-Goodness/dp/1732896305/Drawn By Jesus: https://amazon.com/Drawn-Jesus-Leighton-Flowers/dp/B0CYXB56PY/Furious Book: https://cfan.org/furiousMonthly Ministry Partner: https://cfan.orgMinistry Training: https://cfan.org/training00:45 – Welcome & Why Calvinism Matters01:41 – Meet Dr. Leighton Flowers, Former Calvinist05:21 – Accusations of Pelagianism Explained15:52 – The Core Divide: Determinism24:00 – Does Calvinism Undermine Evangelism?28:12 – Altar Calls, Assurance & “Inoculating Against the Gospel”31:13 – Regeneration Before Faith (Deep Dive)32:29 – Can Calvinists Preach the Gospel Honestly?39:21 – Same Vocabulary, Different Dictionary44:18 – Aborted Babies, Innocence & Election47:02 – Is Abortion a Loophole to Heaven?50:35 – Mystery vs. Contradiction55:02 – Ben Shapiro Confronts Calvinism59:24 – Romans 9: The Ultimate Proof Text01:10:13 – Why People Are Leaving Calvinism (and Christianity)?01:17:20 – John 6 vs John 12: Who Is Drawn?01:25:03 – TULIP Glasses & Prooftexting01:34:57 – Acts 13:48 Reconsidered01:40:08 – The Problem of Evil01:44:23 – Sovereignty Reimagined01:46:28 – Megan Phelps on Romans 9 (Joe Rogan)01:53:25 – Final Reflections & ResourcesSubscribe to CfaN to receive our latest messages:Email: https://cfan.org/subscribeSMS: Text CFAN to 94090To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://cfan.org/donateEvangelist Daniel Kolenda YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/⁨@DanielKolenda⁩ Evangelist Daniel Kolenda Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evangelistkolendaEvangelist Daniel Kolenda Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/evangelistdanielkolenda
