Hello and welcome to a special edition of SoTriology 101, where you can see that I have a friend with me today, Keith Fowski, at least, an online friend.

We've actually had shared a meal together at a conference, and I consider Keith a friend.

I was texting with him before I went live here to let him know I was doing this today,

and he even invited me to come onto his program or even to come to his house, if I remember

around his area, and he'd take me out on the golf cart and he promised

he wouldn't dump my body in some forest or anything like that. Which I'm happy to have friends

that are Calvinist. And no, I love Keith. If you haven't noticed some of my favorite memes out there

where oftentimes he'll take a jab or two at me, or we'll do

little videos together, things like that. We have fun together. Keith reminds me of some of my good

buddies here in town who are more Calvinistic leaning. And so it's one of those things when you

take away the internet between the two of you and you actually get together face to face and

talk with somebody. You can, you actually enjoy somebody's company that you disagree with.

And Keith is one of those guys.

I enjoy his company.

I enjoy his humor.

He doesn't take himself too seriously, though he takes theology seriously.

And he takes his disagree with me, obviously seriously, but at the same time, he still shows respect.

And that's the kind of interlocutor, if you will, the kind of engagement that we like to

promote here on the broadcast, because I want to set an example for my children who I know

watch this on occasion, and I want them to be aware of how their father interacts with people

he disagrees with.

And I want them to understand that we can disagree,
