James Talarico: Scriptural Truth v. Progressive Claims James Talarico - In this episode of Truth Unbound, Dr. Walt Swaim examines recent comments made by James Talarico, a Democrat State Representative from Texas, during a widely discussed interview where he openly articulates his version of progressive Christianity. While Talarico presents his views with sincerity and compassion, this episode carefully and biblically evaluates the theological assumptions, doctrinal errors, and ideological influences embedded in his statements. Dr. Swaim contrasts progressive Christian claims with clear biblical teaching, addressing issues such as the authority of Scripture, the nature of sin, the gospel, justice, and the redefinition of historic Christian doctrine. This is not a personal attack, but a theological discernment episode—designed to help believers recognize progressive theology, understand why it departs from orthodox Christianity, and respond with truth, clarity, and biblical conviction in today’s cultural climate.

Why Share the Gospel if God Controls Everything? In this episode of Truth Unbound, Walt examine the discussion surrounding Wes Huff, Calvinism, and the claim that God’s sovereignty means everything is predetermined — including human choices. He'll unpack common arguments about “ordained ends and means” and test whether they actually hold up biblically and logically. We look at popular analogies used to defend theological determinism and where those comparisons begin to break down. This isn’t a personal critique, but a careful theological analysis of sovereignty, free will, and human responsibility. If you’ve ever wondered whether God’s rule requires scripted human choices, this episode is for you.
