Steve Fraley joins Dr. Flowers to discuss "What happened to Derek Webb," the title of an article Steve recently put out on his blog, seen here: http://thatswhatstevesaid.blogspot.com/2018/10/what-happened-to-derek-webb.html Derek Webb, a Reformed Christian artist and songwriter, released his latest solo album, "Fingers Crossed," announcing to the world that he is no longer a follower of Jesus Christ. Not only that, but he is now boldly proclaiming the "gospel" of atheism. How did this happen? How could someone who so passionately devoted himself to Christianity make such a sharp turn?

Dr. Leighton Flowers interacts with a recent video where a young mormon picks apart the Calvinistic determinism of James White and Jeff Durbin making their perspective seem completely irrational and untenable. Theistic determinism is an unnecessary burden that some Christians have adopted making it virtually impossible to rationally defend scriptural truths against the false teaching of groups like mormons. Theology will drive your methodology and one's apologetic suffers when they adopt a deterministic theology, as witnessed in this video.
