Erick and Daniel are joined by Caleb Keith as they begin Paul's letter to the Ephesians. This episode quickly zeroes in on Paul's opening emphasis on election, adoption, and being "in Christ." Rather than treating predestination as a speculative puzzle, the conversation frames it as gospel comfort: God's saving work is established before the foundation of the world and delivered in Christ.
