C. Baxter Kruger

Dr. C. Baxter Kruger is a world-renowned theologian who specializes in his knowledge of the Trinity and the idea of no separation from God. Growing up in the Bible Belt, Baxter says he always knew there was more to this gospel he grew up with and the missing piece was the relationship between the Trinity. Dr. Kruger has gone on to write many books, but today we talk about the idea that union with Christ is the most important aspect of the human condition.

#52 The Myth of Separation from God with Dr. C. Baxter Kruger

For the last 500 years there has been a rift between the Protestant Church and the Catholic Church. Both think they’re right and both think the other are the heretics. The problem is there have been a lot of misconceptions when it comes to what Catholics actually believe and the history of the Church split. Pastor Scott sits down with local Missoula priest Father Hightower to talk about these differences in a fun yet informative way.

David Artman

Our guest today is David Artman, who is the host of another podcast called “Grace Saves All.” This ancient Christian theology was advocated by prominent Christian leaders in the early centuries of the faith, and it is now enjoying a modern revival. It understands grace to be the effective saving presence of God in the lives of all people, and it anticipates that all persons will finally experience union with God.

Alexander Golitzin

Scott brings Archbishop Alexander Golitzin on the podcast to talk about the relationship of Israel in the Old Testament to the church now. Western theology has mixed up views on what Israel being “God’s chosen nation” actually means, and it has caused disunity within the evangelical church. Bishop Alexander is an archbishop of the Orthodox Church in America and is a master of the Old Testament, so we are excited to hear his thoughts!(Disclaimer: There were some tech issues during the Zoom call, so the last few minutes of the recording may sound a bit…different.)
