Does Grace Permit Sin? (Part 1)
April 13, 2024 16:07 - 15 minutes - 14.1 MBOn this episode I attempt to respond to an age long debate on whether or not grace gives us premise and permission to continue sinful lives and acts? And ultimately we'll get to attempt to define (describe) what Grace really is. I got my crush Paul to join me on this one, and He's a real wise guy on this subject so I'm sure this will be a treat.

When The Streets Are Calling: Gomer
February 09, 2024 19:49 - 54 minutes - 50.6 MBUsing the tale of Hosea and Gomer, I pose the question; Why do we struggle with being consistent when trying to break habits, and make the necessary changes in our lives?
