    Episode 4 - Faith Without Works Is a Vibe, Not a Lifestyle

    Everyone knows James 2. “Faith without works is dead.” It’s on coffee mugs. It’s embroidered on throw pillows. And most of us have heard it taught in a way that leaves us either anxious about our performance or totally confused about how it fits with grace. But here’s the thing: we’ve been reading this letter out of context. In this episode we dig into the whole of James 2, from the synagogue scene with the rich man and the poor man, to the royal law, to Abraham, to Rahab the prostitute. We pull the threads that connect chapters 1 and 2 into one unified argument. And we sit with what it actually means that James calls a faith without works not weak, not underdeveloped, but dead.
