1. The struggle is real. That is to say, the struggle with sin. Can we make ourselves holy? Can we find within ourselves the strength to make it better?
  2. Fear and great joy at Jesus' resurrection! But also rejection and refusal.
  3. In this episode with Mike Cosper, we talk about grace and virtue. How do we "pursue virtue" and not let go of grace? We discuss the difference between self introspection by checking our own fruit, and confessing our sins.
  4. Part of the journey involves seasons of affliction, and during those times it is easy to feel separated from God, even rejected by our God
  5. In this episode we introduce the topic of gender in regard to justification and sanctification. In other words, women aren't saved any differently than men. It was revolutionary back in New Testament times and in some circumstances, it's still revolutionary today.
  6. God relentlessly pursues those who stray so that He may restore them to where they belong.
  7. We are discussing "I can do all things through Christ" in context of the rest of the passage, and then we discuss the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac (rather... not sacrificing him) and whether or not Christians are called to sacrifice. Is that what this passage is talking about?
  8. Dr. Paulson continues the discussion on Erasmus's use of kindness.
  9. Jesus came not only for the sheep, but apparently for the dogs as well. You won't believe what happens when she asks for a favor.
  10. Caleb and Scott read through the first several articles of the Smalcald Articles.
  11. Dr. Paulson continues working through Paul's use of Exodus in his letter to the Romans.
  12. We had 2 different listeners ask us: what does mortification of sin, also known as mortification of the flesh look like? In this episode, we talk about where this term came from, and what it means.
