In this episode, we welcome Jeremy Treat to the show. He is the pastor for preaching and vision at Reality LA in Los Angeles, CA, the author of several books, and an adjunct professor of theology at Biola University. Professor. He has written several books on the atonement, to include his newest book called The Atonement: An Introduction. That book is part of Crossway’s Short Studies in Systematic Theology series which is designed to equip the church to faithfully understand, love, teach, and apply what God has revealed in Scripture about a variety of theological topics. In this interview, we discuss how he went from growing up in Alaska to becoming a pastor in Hollywood, how the work of C.S.
