    The Gospel According to Paul #21. Romans 8:1-7.

    Send us Fan Mail How can I walk out of sin and into sonship? Romans 8 is one of the most hope-filled chapters in all of Scripture. After wrestling with the struggle of Romans 7, Paul turns the corner and shows us what life in the Spirit looks like. Freedom is not found in trying harder. It is found in surrendering to the work of the Holy Spirit and embracing our identity as sons and daughters of God. In this episode, we walk through Paul's process for moving from bondage to freedom, from condemnation to confidence, and from living according to the flesh to living according to the Spirit. The Gospel does not just forgive our past. It transforms how we live today. Pull up a chair, lean in, and let's go deeper into the Word of God.

    The Gospel According to Paul #20. Romans 7:14-25.

    Send us Fan Mail Some people treat the Gospel like a one-time transaction. A “get out of hell free” card. Just enough Jesus to fix a problem and move on with life. But Paul paints a much deeper picture. Romans 7:14–25 is one of the most difficult and debated passages in the book of Romans. In this episode, we wrestle with the tension of the human condition, the struggle with sin, and what Paul is really showing us about life apart from the transforming power of Christ. This is not just about behavior modification. It is about the deeper war happening within us. Thank you for joining us at the table.  Visit us at sagespirituality.com for more.

    The Gospel According to Paul #19. Romans 7:1-13.

    Send us Fan Mail Who is my real enemy? Most of us spend our lives fighting battles around us, while missing the one happening within us. In this episode, we look at the problem of sin and uncover an enemy that is closer than we may have imagined. More importantly, we see how the gospel speaks hope and freedom right in the middle of that struggle. Thank you for joining us at the table.  Visit us at sagespirituality.com for more.

    The Gospel According to Paul #18 Romans 6:15-23

    Send us Fan Mail You’re going to serve somebody. Bob Dylan said it… but honestly, Paul said it first. In Romans 6:15–23, Paul lays it out plain—there’s no middle ground. We’re either serving sin or serving righteousness. That’s it. And here’s the tension… we like to think we’re free. But Paul flips that idea and shows us we’re always being shaped by what we surrender to. Sin leads somewhere. Righteousness leads somewhere. Both have an end result. So the real question isn’t if you’re serving— it’s who you’re serving. Episode 93 is all about that choice and what it actually looks like in real life.

    The Gospel According to Paul #17 Romans 6:1-14

    Send us Fan Mail “Houston, we have a problem.” That famous line from Apollo 13 captures the tension Paul is addressing in Romans 6. The problem then is the same problem now—sin. Paul raises the question many believers wrestle with: If grace is real… does that mean sin doesn’t matter? In this episode of Sage Spirituality, we look at Paul’s answer and what it really means to be dead to sin and alive to God. Freedom isn’t just theoretical—it’s meant to shape how we live.

    The Gospel According to Paul #16. Romans 5:12-21

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 91 — Romans 5:12–21 Paul shows that sin and death entered through Adam, while grace and life came through Jesus. A battle remains over what will reign, and each of us must decide which authority shapes our lives. In this episode, we explore the tension between death and life and the choice set before us.

    The Gospel According to Paul #15, Romans 5:6-11

    Send us Fan Mail Sometimes the stories we tell about God slowly get shaped more by our experiences than by the actual good news of the gospel. Before we realize it, what started as faith can turn into something closer to a myth. In this episode, we sit with Romans 5:6–11 and ask a hard (but really freeing) question: Have we stretched our story about God? We look at three common myths many believers quietly carry — ideas that sound spiritual, but actually shrink the power and beauty of what Paul is saying about Christ’s love, grace, and reconciliation. If you’ve ever felt like the gospel became smaller, heavier, or more complicated over time… this one’s for you. Listen in and let Scripture reshape the story again.
