Dr. Carrie Doehring joins the Burros cast via zoom this week to talk with us about the death of her son Alex, who chose to end his life at the age of 27. In this candid interview, Dr. Doehring uses her experience as a pastor and a professor of pastoral counselling and care to walk us through the process of grieving such an immense loss. She also talks with the cast about why it can be so hard for Christian communities to talk about suicide and what we can do to open up space without judgment for others who might be suffering in silence. If you or anyone you know are struggling with thoughts of suicicde, you are not alone. Please dial 988 or visit 988lifeline.org for support.

You've made it! This is our final part of the series where we dive into the controversial topic of Calvinism. We discuss the five points of Calvinism, T.U.L.I.P. Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints. Guest Kelly Coy leads the discussion of "How Sovereign is GOD" when it comes to salvation and man's choice? The series has four episodes ultimately leading into the guest sharing his testimony of salvation to refute universalism and to profess that GOD is still quickening man's dead spirit and still choosing in his sovereign election, even today 2000+ years later.

The title of this episode can be misleading in two ways. 1. This isn't our very own cast member Rick Welch. 2. Mr. Welch will describe in detail how he was lost in addiction and his own son, another Rick Welch, searched for him from street to street until he found him and told him about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. This testimony is one of the most amazing stories of love that we've ever recorded. We hope that this episode is an encouragement to families who are struggling with family members in addiction.

Tiziana Severse is back with a brand new study titled, Look to the Stars; Astrology in the Bible! As with all things NFTU discusses there is none more thornier than Astrology. Is the Christian supposed to recognize the use of Astrology in the Bible and tap dance lightly around it? Are they supposed to avoid it altogether? Should a Christian dabble with their horoscopes? Where did all of this studying of the stars come from? Well, Tiziana is doing a deep dive into the stargazers and readers of the past in other cultures that surrounded the Hebrew people. The book of Daniel shows how the Babylonian Empire had been working on the understanding of the stars for over 1500 years before Daniel is kidnapped and brought into their fold. It's a wild ride from one major empire to another! We hope you enjoy this and thanks for listening! If you'd like to become a patron of this podcast, please visit: www.patreon.com/theburrosofberea.
