The Lineage Journey Podcast

📖 John Bradshaw almost threw *The Great Controversy* across the room. Instead, the next morning, he picked up the phone and tried to find a Seventh-day Adventist church in London.John was 16 when his brother first gave him a copy of the book. Years later, while living in England, he stayed up late reading it in the bathtub. What he read about the Sabbath and Bible prophecy challenged his beliefs and left him with a choice. Was he willing to follow what he was discovering, even if it meant rethinking his plans to return to radio in New Zealand?🎙️ In this episode of the **Lineage Journey Podcast**, John, now president of *It Is Written*, shares how God used his brother’s gift to lead him to baptism in England and change the course of his life.▶️ Watch the full conversation, then tell us in the comments. **What book has had the biggest impact on your faith?**🔔 Subscribe to Lineage Journey for more stories of faith and Christian history.#LineageJourney #JohnBradshaw #TheGreatControversy

Is everything in life predetermined by God, or has He given us the freedom to choose? 🤔 And what does our answer reveal about the character of God?In this thought-provoking episode of the Lineage Journey Podcast, Adam sits down with author, speaker, and theologian Ty Gibson to explore one of Christianity’s most significant theological debates: Calvinism vs. Arminianism.📖 Journey through the Protestant Reformation as we uncover the influence of John Calvin, Jacob Arminius, Martin Luther, Augustine, and the ancient Greek philosophers on how Christians understand salvation, predestination, and God's sovereignty.Together, they explore:🔹 Predestination vs. Free Will – Does God determine who will be saved and who will be lost?🔹 The Origins of Calvinism – How did Augustine and Greek philosophy influence Reformation theology?🔹 The Five Points of Calvinism (TULIP) – What do they teach about salvation and God's sovereignty?🔹 The Arminian Perspective – How can salvation be entirely by grace while humanity retains the freedom to choose?🔹 The Character of God – Is God defined primarily by absolute control or by unconditional love?🔹 The Impact on Evangelism – How do these theological beliefs shape the church's mission to share the gospel?❤️ At the heart of this conversation is a powerful idea that transformed Ty Gibson's own understanding of Christianity:"Love necessitates freedom, and freedom necessitates risk."If God is love, can genuine love exist without freedom of choice?Whether you're familiar with these theological debates or encountering them for the first time, this episode challenges you to examine what you believe about God, salvation, and the gospel.✨ Discover how centuries of theological debate continue to shape Christianity today—and why our understanding of God's character matters more than ever.🌐 Explore more Christian history and resources: www.lineagejourney.com#LineageJourney #TyGibson #Calvinism #Arminianism #FreeWill #Predestination #ProtestantReformation #ChristianTheology #CharacterOfGod #Salvation #ChristianHistory #Gospel
