About this episode
Series Title: Exploration of Adam Miller's Book “Original Grace” [Part III of IV]
In this episode studying Adam's fascinating book "Original Grace", Valerie and Adam dive into the challenging concept of suffering as linked to God's wrath. They address the damaging theology of viewing suffering as punishment and explore the doctrine of original grace.
Adam differentiates between justice and suffering within this doctrine.
Val discuss how beliefs about God's nature impact our responses to suffering. She highlights potential harm in traditional atonement models, and suggests a shift towards an understanding of original grace.
In their final episode in this series together (next in line on your queue!), Val and Adam do a deep dive into Adam's recent presentation at the Restore Conference hosted by the Faith Matters Foundation. Don't miss this!
