The reason you're struggling with sin and how to stop. Joey Dodson and the Romans 7 controversy #223
Joey Dodson is a Christian author of a number of books, peer reviewed articles, and essays. He's a professor at Denver Seminary where he is also the Dr. Craig L. Blomberg Endowed Chair of New Testament which basically means he's super smart.
Today Joey comes on to talk to us about his book "Conquerers, Not Captives" regarding Romans 7 and who the "wretch" is. Romans 7 is the famous passage where Paul says that the good he wants to do he doesn't do and the bad he doesn't want to do, he does. Many Christians including us at some point have looked to this verse to explain our struggle with sin. The problem though, as Joey and others have put forth, is that Romans 7 isn't a universal prescription of the Christian experience. It might not even be about Paul, or ANY Christian whatsoever actually.
Joey believes Paul is talking about himself BEFORE he was a Christian because the surrounding passages say the EXACT opposite of "We are slave to sins." With this profound rereading of the text we realize that freedom is truly possible and that we can resist the enemy and we aren't doomed to repeat the same sins over and over and over!

WHY you need faith AND works to be saved #221
There seems to be a contradiction between Paul and James on how to be saved. James says faith without works is dead and Paul says that works can't save you. So, how do we as Christians understand this dilemma?
Today we get into this question and provide clarity on how to understand this tension.
Enjoy!

The TRUTH about Election Calvinist WON'T tell you #219
Election is often understood as God's individuals sovereign choice of salvation of people. That God chooses individuals to become Christians and therefore also chooses people to not become Christians.
Now, this obviously causes a lot of people to have harsh reactions either in favor of or against this view. It's been the center of debate for generations and probably still will be. Today Derry and I discuss this topic and offer a Biblically sound non Calvinist explanation of how to understand Election

People GOING to HELL because of you?? #218
Evangelism is one of the main practices Christians should partake in, yet in many circles it's the least done. Whether for fear, lack of confidence, or never being told to Christians lack in evangelism and find it awkward to do.
Today we are arguing that every Christian needs to do evangelism and why.

Can CHRISTIANS use VIOLENCE against oppressive governments? #217
Christians are called to stand up for the rights of others. We're also called to love our enemies. What is the line between doing good to those who hurt us as Jesus said and standing up against evil to save lives even if it requires violence? That is the topic we are discussing today!
