This show is brought to you by 1517 The Legacy Project, serving to proclaim the gospel to all people, especially those broken by the church.

Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast.

Today we have a special guest who joined us earlier on the show,

but for a short little stint with Dr. Roosevelt in a bar. So if you listen to that episode,

you'll know that we have Dr. Jim Nestigan with us today. Dr. Nestigan is going to talk with us

about the bondage of the will, which is going to be an important kind of topic for us,

because we did an episode on The Will back a little while ago, episode 11,

and we had a lot of people who really appreciated that episode.

I've had a couple people tell me that was the most helpful episode they've had heard on the show.

Then they are going to love today.

Yeah, then they're going to really like today.

But we've also had questions about that show and people wanting us to go further.

And so we've, specifically on the website, somebody's asked us about the bondage of the will.

And a very detailed question.

Very detailed question.

And so hopefully what we do today will touch on some of that. So I think without

further ado, we will jump into today's show. Dr. Keith has kind of our introductory questions today.

Well, first I want Jim to get the chance we like for all of our guests when possible to introduce themselves and tell us about Jim Nesdigan a little bit.

I'm a retired theology professor. I taught for 30 years at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. And I've been retired 10 years. We live half the year in Oregon, west of Salem on the way to the coast.
