Ep. 16 | What Even Is Calvinism?

Hey there, it's Alex! I've got some big news to share with you all today. Roots is going on a pause! I know, I know, don't cry, don't cry. I promise it's for a good reason. I've got an amazing opportunity to share the gospel online with another ministry called NeedGod.Net. And let me tell you, it's AMAZING! But don't worry, I'm not saying goodbye forever. Roots may come back with a few episodes near and dear to my heart or even regular shows! Who knows? God's possibilities are endless! All I know is that His plans for Roots are good and His will shall be done. Before I go, I want to say a big thank you to all of you, my amazing listeners! I haven't forgotten about the $100 giveaway promise! So keep an eye on my Instagram for the results. Oh, and have you heard of NeedGod.Net? They share the gospel with strangers on Omegle, and it's seriously awesome! You should totally check them out and support them in any way you can. NeedGod.Net Alrighty, that's all I've got for now. Thanks for listening to Roots, it's been an absolute blast. All GLORY and HONOR to Christ the King.
