In this week’s episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin is joined by Westlake’s elder-in-training and the podcast's technical producer, Josh Davis, for a lively and heartfelt conversation about unity, grace, and truth in the Christian life. The two kick things off with some lighthearted banter about the fast-approaching holiday season, favorite holy days, and even a confession involving Christmas gnomes and early-season carols. Quickly, though, the discussion takes a thoughtful turn as Justin and Josh explore what it really means to disagree with one another in love — especially within the church.

From Calvinism and Arminianism to denominational differences and the misuse of the word heresy, the pair digs deep into how believers can hold firm convictions without fracturing fellowship. With scriptural insights, personal stories, and a few good laughs along the way, this episode challenges listeners to be both discerning and charitable — to defend sound doctrine without losing compassion. Whether you’re sipping your “calvinated” coffee or just trying to navigate theological tension with grace, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
