Hello and welcome back to Sociology 101.

As you can see, we have Richard Cords back with us today.

You can find more information about Richard in the show notes and his website examining

Calvinism. Welcome back, Richard. I appreciate you coming on. It's a thrill to be back. Thank you so much.

Also, remember, if you would like to get a higher theological education,

consider Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary. Go to trinity sim.edu. I'm a teacher there and would love to have you a part of one of my classes. So come and be a part of Trinity Seminary.
