Hey guys, Joshua Lewis here with Remnant Radio, and I'll tell you about Rimcon this spring in San Diego, California.

0:06.8

The dates are February 5th through the 7th, and the subject of the conference is growing in the Gifts of the Spirit.

0:12.3

You can join us there in person or via live stream, and what you're going to get out of that conference is some serious theological training on the gifts of the Spirit.

0:22.6

What are they? How do they operate?

0:28.1

There's also going to be opportunities to break out and practice spiritual gifts in a kind of biblical,

0:33.9

safe, and orderly way. We've got lectures from myself, Michael Miller, Michael Roundtry, John Mark Baker, from the Minor Prophets, and Dr. Sam Storms. So if you're looking to move beyond just the theoretical and learning the theology of spiritual

0:41.6

guess, but you're actually wanting to start practicing them for yourself, I'd encourage

0:45.6

you to come out and hang out with us February 5th through the 7th there in San Diego, California.

1:14.1

You are watching the Remnant Radio, a crowd-funded show where we interview pastors, teachers, historians, and theologians from different churches and denominations.

1:16.9

My name is Joshua Lewis, and this is my co-host, Michael Roundtree.

1:20.0

Together, we want to help you break outside of your theological echo chambers.

1:23.3

If you're interested in learning about history, theology, or the gifts of the spirit,

1:26.7

this is the show for you. Guys, thank you so much for tuning into this program. I've got Dr. Paul Copan with us. We met him at ETS this year. I'm very excited to have him on the show today talking about his book is God of Indictive Book, but he's also written quite a bit of stuff on this subject when it comes

1:44.8

to things like slavery, when it comes to things like the Canaanite extinction, when it comes to

1:49.5

like those hard, difficult passages where, man, we have this gracious and long-suffering and

1:53.7

merciful God, and yet there are these moments of judgment. There are these moments of wrath

1:57.7

where God steps in and does some stuff. He makes wrong things right.

2:01.2

He brings justice in some meaningful way. And Paul has been able to navigate those waters in a way

2:06.8

that I think lends credibility to the inspiration and authority and infallibility and errancy of

2:12.3

scripture, but also paints God as both righteous and just and not this, you know, immoral object of wrath

2:20.0

that's just constantly snapping, bringing down hellfire on the bad guys.

2:24.4

So I really enjoy Paul's work and I'm excited to introduce you to his program.
