Episode 47 - Dynamic Omnicience makes more sense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this Circle Dwellers Podcast episode, Matt Krell and Timothy Krell of Life Mission Fellowship explain why dynamic omniscience makes more sense than exhaustive foreknowledge, Molinism, or simple foreknowledge—and why that changes how you pray, live, and relate to God. If you are a pastor or layperson weary of a church that treats the gospel as a private “get saved” transaction instead of joining the people of God, and hungry for the church as a real family rather than a program, this conversat
Episode 46 - Dinesh D'Sousa is a Gigachad Armenian (like us) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dinesh D'Souza’s recent critique of Calvinism and predestination—sparked by R.C. Sproul on whether saving faith is our choice or God’s gift—set off a wave of Reformed pushback from James White and others; in this Circle Dwellers Podcast episode, hosts Matt Krell and Timothy Krell (open theists at Life Mission Fellowship) walk through D'Souza’s Arminian case that divine foreknowledge does not cause the future, then argue why that solution still leaves God bound to an unchangeable script.

Episode 43 - Don't watch sports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of the Circle Dwellers podcast, the hosts unpack Johan Kurtz’s provocative Substack essay arguing that modern sports spectatorship is spiritually corrosive—like pornography, a hollow simulation that satisfies the craving for play and vigor without building real strength, virtue, or community. Drawing on the historic Western tradition in which physical excellence trained citizens for adversity, forged civic bonds, and honored the body as God’s temple, they contrast today’s rootles
