Welcome to Episode 220 of the Carpe Fide podcast, where Justin and Jesse Gruber tackle the completely normal, definitely-not-insane internet trend of deciding Hitler actually "wasn't that bad of a guy".

In this sermon, Justin dives into the deep theological waters of Ephesians 1:5-6 to explore the tension of divine election and the overwhelming reality of God's grace.
