Is God’s love limited to the elect, or is it truly for the whole world? Today we are looking at the theological tension of “Limited Atonement” and why our definitions of words like “World” and “All” matter more than we think.🔒 LISTEN TO THE FULL DEEP-DIVE EPISODE:I’ve recorded a full, unfiltered breakdown of this topic in The Upper Room. We put away the systems and open the Greek lexicon to ask the hard questions I can’t answer in a short video.👉 Listen here: https://patreon.com/jdavidwyattIn the exclusive Patreon episode, we cover:- The “Sin vs. Grace” Contradiction: Why does “All” mean everyone when we talk about Sin (Romans 3:23), but suddenly shrink to “the Elect” when we talk about Grace?- The “Pocket Dictionary” Problem: How words like “World,” “Whosoever,” and “Everyone” get redefined to protect a theological system rather than reveal the Father.- The Evangelism Crisis: Can you honestly look a stranger in the eye and say, “God loves you”? Or do you have to add a mental asterisk?- The Scripture Evidence: We walk through 1 Timothy 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9, John 3:16, and the specific Greek meaning of mnáomai (remembrance).This is an “in-house” family discussion.

Is your prayer for healing a “prescription” or just a wish? In James 5, God gives us a specific 3-step process for healing, but most Christians are too afraid to use it.

We love to sing about God as “Jehovah Rapha,” but when sickness actually hits, our confidence evaporates. We hedge our bets. We often use “Lord, if it be Your will” not as a prayer of submission like Jesus did in the Garden, but as a spiritual safety net because we are afraid nothing will happen.

But if God has clearly revealed His will in James 5, are we praying out of faith, or are we just reading the Bible with our fingers crossed?

In this episode of News from the Pew, we open the bottle on God’s prescription found in James Chapter 5. We aren’t talking about “name it and claim it” theology—we are talking about reading the Greek text, understanding what “The Prayer of Faith” actually means, and answering the hard questions about why we don’t see more miracles today.

We tackle the biggest objections:

💊 The Prescription: The specific role of Elders, Oil, and Confession.
📖 The Greek: Why the KJV translators used “shall” and “will” (it’s not a suggestion).
🤔 Paul’s Thorn: Debunking the myth that Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” was a sickness God refused to heal.
🍷 Timothy’s Stomach: Why using medicine doesn’t mean you lack faith.

It’s time to stop making excuses for why we don’t see miracles and start taking God at His Word.

When the world shouts “No Kings,” the gospel answers, “There is a King.” In this episode, we look past today’s protests and politics to the only throne that never corrupts and never falls—Jesus Christ. From 1 Samuel 8 to Isaiah 9, Daniel 7, John 18, and Matthew 28:18, we trace Scripture’s promise of a just, righteous, everlasting reign and ask a searching question: What am I expecting from human leaders that only Christ can give? Come be re-centered on the King who bled for His enemies, rose in power, and now calls us to live as citizens of His kingdom—here and now.
