What happens when someone becomes a Christian?

How does salvation actually work?

In this episode of Graceful Curiosity, Henry and Michael explore soteriology, the branch of theology that studies salvation. Together they walk through the historic Christian understanding often called the Order of Salvation (Ordo Salutis) and discuss how God works in the lives of believers from election to glorification.

The conversation covers difficult questions about God's sovereignty, human freedom, conversion, repentance, justification by faith, adoption into God's family, sanctification, perseverance, and the atonement of Christ. Along the way, they show how salvation is ultimately God's work from beginning to end.

Whether you're new to theology or looking to deepen your understanding of Scripture, this episode provides a clear overview of one of Christianity's most important doctrines.

What is Pneumatology, and why is the Holy Spirit so important to the Christian faith?

In Episode 110 of Graceful Curiosity, Henry takes a deep dive into the study of the Holy Spirit, exploring His personhood, deity, role in creation, work in Christ's life, involvement in salvation, spiritual gifts, the fruit of the Spirit, inspiration of Scripture, and ongoing ministry within the Church.

Throughout Scripture, the Holy Spirit is far more than an impersonal force. He is the third Person of the Trinity, actively working to transform hearts, empower ministry, guide believers, and glorify Christ. From Genesis to Revelation, the Spirit is revealed as the giver of life, the seal of salvation, and God's presence dwelling among His people.

Whether you're new to theology or wanting a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit's role in your life, this episode provides a practical and biblical introduction to one of the most important areas of Christian doctrine.

What is Christology, and why is it so important to the Christian faith?

In this episode of Graceful Curiosity, Henry explores the doctrine of Christ, answering some of Christianity's most important questions:
✅ Who is Jesus Christ?
✅ How can Jesus be fully God and fully man?
✅ What is the Incarnation and the Hypostatic Union?
✅ What does it mean that Jesus is Prophet, Priest, and King?
✅ What did Christ accomplish through His life, death, resurrection, and ascension?
✅ What is Jesus doing now as our mediator and intercessor?

We'll discuss the Incarnation, the work of Christ, His offices, His eternal humanity, and how the Church historically defended these truths against various heresies. We'll also examine why the Book of Hebrews is one of the most important biblical books for understanding who Jesus is.

Whether you're new to theology or looking to deepen your understanding of Jesus Christ, this overview of Christology provides a biblical foundation for understanding the person and work of our Savior.

For about a year, a team of church leaders has been seeking God’s guidance about our long-term future. This Creating Our Future Group is made up of Rita Lanham, Dixie Mattingly, Mark Eastwood, Phil Fraher, Bill Russell, and Bob Henson. Now, after months of study, deliberation and prayer, a new vision seems to be emerging. This would involve relocation from our current leased facility to a place of our own.

You can hear more about this vision and provide your input on Saturday, October 24 from 9:30-11:30AM. Breakfast will be served and childcare will be provided. Please RSVP in link in the comments.

You will not be asked for money at this meeting. That is not the point. The point is for the community to come together, to share ideas and to seek a common vision for our future.
