I am a high school teacher. I drive 30 minutes each way to teach at my rural high school in Georgia. I am also a progressive Christian struggling to find places to fit in in the Bible Belt and the South. John and Jennifer have been my companions back-and-forth to work, and I have engaged in every discussion they have had on the podcast (whether they heard me or not). This has been a lifesaver, and I have experienced so many moments where I realize I am not alone and I’m not crazy. :) Thank you for the bravery to ask questions and challenge the listener with new ideas.

Is God an asshole? Does he set some people up to fail eternally? Are we all born into a diseased race? Is there an elect who have no choice but to go on to eternal bliss while everyone else has no choice but go on to eternal punishment? Or is Calvinism just the creation of a white guy who wanted to prove that white guys are better than everyone else? John &amp; the panel discuss Calvinism through the lens of Brian Zahnd's Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God. Panelists: Wendy Francisco (Love Heretic Facebook Group), Beckett Hanan (<a href="http://BrazenChurch.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BrazenChurch.com</a>), Jennifer Neyhart (Theology Book Club for Deconstruction &amp; Reconstruction Facebook group) Reclaiming Christianity is a book review podcast about God, faith and life.
