Welcome to the sixth episode of "Welcome to Reformed Theology." In this episode, Dale tackles some key questions about Calvinism: Is it biblical? Did it originate with John Calvin? And why do so many modern Christians wrestle with its concepts? Building on the last episode's discussion of God's sovereignty, this episode dives deeper into Calvinism—also known as the Doctrines of Grace—and its focus on God's sovereign control over salvation. Join us as we explore this vital attribute of God's throne, held uniquely and supremely by the one true God.

**Podcast Episode Description:** Welcome to part five of Dale’s twelve-part series, *Welcome to Reformed Theology*, recorded for King’s Way Reformed Church in Prescott, AZ. In this episode, Dale explores the doctrine of the sovereignty of God—a cornerstone of Reformed theology. Through a thoughtful overview of key scriptures, Dale challenges listeners to reconsider the depth of God’s involvement in every aspect of life. Since the sovereignty of God is often a stumbling block for those new to Reformed doctrine, this session aims to build a solid foundation for understanding and appreciating this profound truth.

This is the fourth installment of our 12-part series, *Welcome to Reformed Theology*. In this episode, Dale delves into the art and science of hermeneutics, offering an overview of the AOIMA process. AOIMA stands for **Analysis, Observation, Interpretation, Meaning, and Application**—a vital skill set that every Christian should strive to learn.

The reliability and sufficiency of Scripture affirm that the Bible is trustworthy and entirely adequate for guiding faith and practice. Its reliability stems from its divine inspiration, historical accuracy, fulfilled prophecies, and preservation over centuries. The sufficiency of Scripture means it contains all we need for salvation, spiritual growth, and godly living, as outlined in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. It provides a complete framework for understanding God, humanity, and redemption without requiring supplementary revelations or texts. While tradition, reason, and experience can complement, they must align with and submit to Scripture's authority. Trusting in the reliability and sufficiency of God’s Word equips believers to navigate life with confidence, grounded in His truth.

In this episode Dale is going over Sola Scriptura which is a foundational doctrine in Protestant theology that asserts Scripture alone as the supreme authority in matters of faith and practice. This means that the Bible is seen as the ultimate and final guide for what Christians believe and how they should live, surpassing any other authority, such as church tradition, councils, or church leaders. The doctrine emerged as a central tenet of the Reformation, distinguishing Protestant beliefs from those of the Catholic Church, which also regards tradition and the authority of the Church as key sources of truth.

In this episode Dale refutes some of the heretical doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church regarding Mary's birth and death.

In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge begins a three-part series on refuting Catholic doctrines about Mary, focusing first on the perpetual virginity of Mary. Drawing on both Scripture and theological analysis, Dale critiques Catholic claims by examining biblical evidence, including references to Jesus' siblings, which challenge the idea of Mary’s perpetual virginity. The discussion highlights the importance of these Marian dogmas within Catholicism, where denial leads to excommunication and is seen as jeopardizing salvation. For Protestants, refuting these doctrines is vital to upholding biblical authority and Christ-centered theology.

In this episode, Pastor Dale Partridge is joined by Corbin Clarke, a fellow elder at King's Way Church, to discuss the recent controversy on X surrounding their church's viral flyer.

In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge addresses the doctrine of "Perseverance of the Saints," also known as "Once Saved, Always Saved," a central tenet of Calvinism. He explains that true salvation, once granted by God's grace, cannot be lost because it is God who sustains the believer's faith, not human effort. Pastor Dale contrasts this with the legalistic belief that one can lose salvation and must work to keep it, highlighting that faith is a divine gift rather than an intellectual decision. Through scriptural references, he emphasizes that saving faith is a supernatural trust in Christ, produced by the Holy Spirit, and that our spiritual life and understanding are entirely dependent on God's initiative, not our own will or works.
