Today we get to hear from Matt Smethurst about salvation. Matt is managing editor of The Gospel Coalition and author of several books. He and his wife, Maghan, have three children and are planting a church in Richmond, Virginia. In this conversation we dig in deep, tackling topics like election, calling, regeneration, conversion, and justification. We pray this episode encourages you to look to God as the author of your salvation, and to praise him for the work he has done to make salvation possible for us!    FULL SHOW NOTES   DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How would you describe the story of salvation?
