This is the first episode Jimmy and Joe have recorded since Joe got back from South Africa. So they guys catch up and Jimmy presses Joe on why he was in a South African police station. Then they jump into chapter 5, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the 1689 Confession on God's Providence. If divine providence is “God's ordering all outcomes and events of things, after the counsel of his will, to his own glory” (Watson), what does this mean for the ideas of chance, determinism, and God's responsibility over sin? And for the 10% of you who don't like it, you can skip the banter and get straight to the topic at the 6:28 mark.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

The guys are back on the 1689 Confession and cover chapter 3 paragraphs 2 and 3. What is the sovereign choice of God to save individuals based upon? What's the difference between predestination and reprobation? What is the goal of his decree? And how should these doctrines impact our piety? Plus, a neighbor with a leaf blower drives Joe nuts while recording this episode.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
