Episode #085: What Is The Doctrine Of Aseity?

What does it mean that God is self-existent and why does this doctrine matter for everyday Christians?

In this episode of Cage-Free Theology, Clint Archer and Will Brannon explore the doctrine of God’s aseity: the truth that God depends on nothing outside Himself for His existence, life, power, or sustaining nature. From “I AM” in Exodus to questions about the origin of the universe, they discuss how God’s self-existence shapes our worship, humility, dependence, evangelism, and understanding of who God truly is.

They also tackle common questions like:
     -Who made God?
     -Why does God exist?
     -How can we know there is a God?

They also consider how the doctrine of aseity helps Christians answer these questions biblically.

If you want to think more deeply about God’s character and how theology connects to everyday Christian life, this episode is for you.
