Why I Reject Calvinism | Episode 11 with Dr. Leighton Flowers

Calvinism has become one of the most divisive and debated doctrines in the modern church. In this episode, Daniel sits down with Dr. Leighton Flowers, former Calvinist, theologian, and host of Soteriology 101, to confront the toughest questions head-on. They examine shocking claims like regeneration before faith, the morality of Romans 9, the problem of evil, and why some high-profile Christians have walked away from the faith altogether. Whether you’re Reformed, non-Calvinist, questioning, or just curious, this episode will push you to think carefully about what the Bible actually teaches and why it matters for real people. #DanielKolenda #LeightonFlowers #Calvinism #Soteriology101 #Regenerationbeforefaith #Romans9 #Predestination #freewillf #determinism #TULIPtheology #ReformedTheology Soteriology101: https://soteriology101.com Books by Dr. Leighton The Potter's Promise: A Biblical Defense of Traditional Soteriology: https://www.amazon.com/Potters-Promis...
