In Episode 4 of The Mid Story Podcast, we step into one of the most discussed — and most misunderstood — doctrines in the Church: Predestination.

•

For years, Christians have argued over God’s sovereignty, human responsibility, and whether those two things can truly coexist. In this Mid Story Doctrine & Theology episode, Jared unpacks the tension Scripture itself refuses to flatten. Romans 8 speaks of God foreknowing and predestining His people. But Acts 17 and John 3 call every person to repent and believe.

•

So how do we hold both?
•How do we honor God’s choice… without erasing our response?
•And what does this tension mean for real people, real evangelism, and real life in the middle of our stories?

•

This episode approaches predestination with humility and clarity — not as a final answer, but as an invitation to trust God’s wisdom, wrestle with Scripture honestly, and let the mystery lead us into worship instead of fear.

•

If you’ve ever wrestled with predestination, free will, God’s calling, or the mystery of salvation, this reflection is for you.

In Episode 2 of The Mid Story Podcast, we dive into Linkin Park’s song “Heavy” — a raw cry of anxiety, depression, and the weight of life that feels too much to carry. Chester Bennington’s lyrics resonate with countless people who know the heaviness of invisible battles.

This episode of Lyrics & Longing connects that cultural moment with Scripture — from Paul’s words about being “crushed and overwhelmed” (2 Corinthians 1:8) to Jesus’ promise, “Come to me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

If you’ve ever searched for the meaning behind Heavy, wrestled with mental health and faith, or wondered where God is in the weight of your story, this reflection is for you.
