1. Romans 6 and into 7: We find that God works salvation in mankind by way of gift and not by works. What does it mean to be set free from sin and being a slave to God? Is that a good thing to be a slave and what does it mean to be set free into slavery? God works salvation in us, it is not our doing for the free gift of God is salvation, for sinners. Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  2. And I'm Free, Free Falling... Gillespie and Riley read and discuss C.S. Lewis' meditation on the Fall into Sin. They go deep into the subjects of free will, dualism, retributive justice, and why discussing sin isn't as easy as we'd like.
  3. Banned Books Jumps The Shark. Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Crucifying Religion, by Donavon Riley so Riley can have a discussion about himself with himself. It’s a meta, meta episode!

  12. On this episode we talk about Cinderella, the difference between circumstance and identity, God's gifts found in ordinary objects, and our longing for the "happily ever after" ending. We were inspired by an essay by J.R.R. Tolkien called “On Fairy Stories”. Ultimately, these fun stories stir up simple truths about ourselves, our God, and the greatest story we know in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
