Maxwell Institute Podcast #146: God’s Original Grace, with Adam Miller
31m · PublishedIn Original Grace, Adam S. Miller proposes an experiment in Restoration thinking: What if instead of implicitly affirming the traditional logic of original sin, we, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emphasized the deeper reality of God’s original grace? What if we broke entirely with the belief that suffering can sometimes be deserved and claimed that […]

Abide: Esther

Abide: 2 Kings 17-25

Abide: 1 Kings 17-19
29m · PublishedSolomon’s reign was glorious, but what he gained in wealth, wives and infrastructure he lost in spiritual standing. He had not been faithful to the God of Israel.

For Matthew Wickman, spiritual experience […]
