Exploring Faith, Pursuing Grace

The EFPG podcast was started by Kevin Pendergrass and Dr. Lee Grant. After 105 episodes, Kevin and Lee needed a break, so they turned the reigns over to their good friend Daniel Rogers. Daniel is a co-minister at the North Broad Church in Albertville, Alabama. His website is https://danielr.net.

Solo E17: A Guy With a Beard and a Boat
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
If all life is sacred, and if murder is intentionally taking the life of an innocent human being, and if babies are sinless (my tradition rejections original sin), then was the flood not God intentionally taking the lives of every human on earth including the innocent human babies?
What do we do with this?

Solo E16: We All Need a Little More Sabbath
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Burnout is everywhere. I think that in our post-lockdown world, we all realized just how much we needed some time to refresh. For those of us who had the privilege of staying home during the lockdown, the time we had to spend with our families was priceless. I know that’s true for me and my year as a stay-at-home dad with Cayden. But for those of us who were considered essential workers with nonessential pay, our heartache for Sabbath intensified like never before.

Solo 15: The Antichrist, the Temptation of Jesus, and Christian Nationalism
Thursday Sep 21, 2023
Thursday Sep 21, 2023
In this article, we’ll be talking about an idea that I alluded to several times in 1 John: the identity of the Antichrist. Personally, I think this is something we must get right, not because we’ll go to hell if we miss it, but because it has huge implications for how we view Christian history, and more importantly, how we answer some critical issues facing the church today, namely the conversation surrounding Christian nationalism.

What does it mean to Explore Faith?
Everyone has a belief system. We believe what we believe in large part because of what we've been taught by our parents, grandparents, pastors, and faith leaders.
But what happens when our inherited belief systems no longer serve us? What happens when our faith divides rather than unites, causes strife instead of peace, and brings angst and anxiety in place of freedom and joy?
Kevin Pendergrass and Lee Grant found themselves asking these questions and began the process of exploring their belief systems in search of something better than what had been handed down to them. In their exploration of their faith, they found a God that loves all, whose grace is far bigger than they could have ever imagined.
