The first video I’m sharing is part five of a five part series from Good Berean about Why I Don’t Believe in Calvinism Anymore. I’ll include the other four videos below. I think this video might be most interesting to my readers, especially those who aren’t Calvinists.
It can be difficult to understand the draw of Calvinism over the past 15-20 years. But it has been real and significant. It was like a blitzkrieg with all the answers in a tidy box during a time when our country was falling apart and denominations were steadily drifting left toward apostasy. Calvinism gave people a safe and secure answer to all their questions. Add in all the “cool” young pastors and mega conferences with big names and you had the recipe to draw in many people.
