The 180 Cast - with Georgi Boorman

Writer and podcaster (Mama Cusses) Gwenna Laithland returns to explain how she went from planning extravagant weddings to being a proponent of "mini-monies" --tiny, low-budget ceremonies with close friends and family.

Christian apologist and evangelist Leighton Flowers explains why he left Calvinism after 10 years of adhering to the "TULIP" (the five points of Calvinism). What would convince someone so deeply enthralled with "substantive" theology to abandon one of the most stalwartly held systematic theologies, the roots of which run all the way back to the Reformation? Lieghton also takes us through some of the key "prooftexts" of Calvinism and explains how he thinks they should be interpreted. Christians of all doctrinal stripes will find it engaging; Calvinists in particular may be surprised and challenged by Leighton's answers.To give the gift of freedom and hope to slaves in Sudan, call Christian Solidarity International at 888-342-1010 to help  CHRISTIAN SOLIDARITY INTERNATIONAL free slaves in Sudan. Text or leave a voicemail on the FLIP PHONE at 323.999.1802 to flip out, try to flip my position or explain a flip flop of your own and I'll respond on the podcast.

Christian theologian and author Sam Storms rejoins the podcast to talk about why he ceased to be a cessationist and now believes the charismatic gifts of the Spirit, such as prophecy and speaking in tongues, are present and active in believers today. Sam tackles some of the most confusing aspects regarding the practice of the gifts, like how they are supposed to be used to edify the church, and whether the weirdness of a behavior automatically disqualifies it as being biblical and of the Spirit. Don't miss out on hearing one of the most controversial 180s in Christian doctrine. Check out Episode 61, too:  A Premillennialist Embraces the Amillennial AlternativeLeave a voicemail or text the Flip Phone at 323.999.1802. Follow Sam @Samuel_Storms and find his writing at samstorms.org. His forthcoming book is called Understanding Spiritual Gifts: A Comprehensive Guide, to be released from Zondervan September 1, 2020. Follow @180cast to keep up with the podcast and hear soundbites.   Follow me @georgi_boorman for uncensored opinions on politics and culture from a Christian perspective.

Editor and writer Gwenna Laithland explains how rushing her daughter to the emergency room plunged her into an investigation of the anti-vaccine stance she had never questioned. What she found shocked her. We also discuss the current COVID-19 pandemic, whether we should trust medical authorities, and the poorly understood but critical reason why you should get the vaccine, if and when it's developed.
