Grace Saves All: Christianity and Universal Salvation
David Artman
This podcast is about Christian Universalism — a spirituality which exists at the intersection of Christianity and Universal Salvation. 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. David Artman, host of the podcast, is the author of Grace Saves All: The Necessity of Christian Universalism. He is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and holds Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Brite Divinity School at TCU in Ft. Worth, TX.

Ep. 213 John Crowder - "The goat herdin' universalist heretic" gets put on trial for his wild beliefs (spoiler - he passes the test!)
John Crowder, a goat farmer and charismatic theologian, shares his journey from Pentecostalism to advocating for universal salvation. He argues for a Christ-centered theology that transcends legalism and criticizes harsh historical doctrines. Crowder outlines five pillars supporting universalism, emphasizes God's loving nature in salvation, and interprets biblical judgment as restorative rather than retributive. He dives into the meaning of biblical narratives, the essence of suffering, and the universal scope of Christ's work, offering a fresh perspective on faith and grace.
