Hello and welcome to Sociology 101 Live. We are going to be having a discussion today with a Calvinistic friend.

There on the screen, you can see the panel that's going to be assembled here, Brian Wagner, who many of you already know, because he's been on the program several other times.

And then David Lewis is our resident Calvinist for the day. But obviously,

he's much more than just a Calvinist. Obviously, we're having a Calvinistic discussion, but

there's much more about David in his life than his sociological alignment, just like with me or

with Brian. And so as we get going here, let's remember, as we have discussions like this with each other,

I think David feels the same way in our discussions

prior to even starting to broadcast that we desire

to have cordial, loving conversations,

though we disagree with each other over issues.

And he was reminding me, he's not one of those angry cage stage.

And I said, well, if he was,

and he probably wouldn't be here today,

because that's

so important. But David, tell me, tell us a little bit about yourselves and introduce yourself

before we get going. Yeah, yeah. So David Lewis, I'm 38 years old, married for 15 years. We have

four adopted children. I live outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And my full-time job is I'm the

director of Teen Challenge, which is a Christian drug and alcohol ministry, if you've ever heard of it,

started by Dave Wilkerson. And I'm also a graduate of the program. So I come out of an addiction

in high school, been away from that for 20 years now, by the grace of God.

Amen.

And, yeah, and I'm an ordained pastor and a Reform Baptist church.
