Welcome back to the Gospel Truth Project! In this episode, Jason sits down with guest Frankie Cathcart for a deeply encouraging conversation on what it truly means to follow Christ daily. Moving past the modern cultural idea of "cheap grace", they discuss the vital difference between being legally justified (imputed righteousness) and actively cooperating with the Holy Spirit for our ongoing sanctification (imparted righteousness).

Join us as we explore:

• The Present Imperative: A dive into Philippians 2:12-13 to understand why "working out our salvation" is a continuous, Spirit-empowered command, rather than works-based legalism.
• The Heart of God in Ezekiel 18: How God’s discipline and call to repentance beautifully reveal that He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but patiently waits for our return.
• The Necessity of Community: Why true faith cannot be lived in isolation, and how the Body of Christ is called to drop the polished Sunday masks to actively carry one another's burdens.
• Digging Deeper: Frankie shares the decade-long, deeply personal journey of obedience and forgiveness that led to the creation of her new interactive book, Digging Deeper Bible Study.

Scripture & Resources Mentioned:

• Philippians 2:12-13
• 2 Corinthians 5:21
• Ezekiel 18:27-32
• Acts 19:2
• Luke 9:23
• Book Recommendation: Digging Deeper Bible Study by Frankie Cathcart

In this deeply authentic episode of the Gospel Truth Project, host Jason is joined by special guest T.R. Monroe (Tonya) to tackle a crucial conversation the modern church often avoids: mental health, trauma, and the Christian walk. Moving beyond the cultural "stoicism" of picking yourself up by the bootstraps, Jason and Tonya dive into what Scripture actually promises regarding our emotional well-being. Leaving the "happy mask" behind, they explore how God meets us in our brokenness and why our ultimate healing is found in Christ and a Spirit-led community.

Join us as we explore:

• The Resurrected Scars: How viewing our emotional scars through the lens of the resurrected Christ (John 20:27) radically changes the way we minister to others.
• The Church as a Hospital: Breaking the stigma of "fake happy" Christianity and discovering why true discipleship requires a community that bears one another's burdens.
• Elijah’s Despair (Ad Fontes): Looking at 1 Kings 19 to understand how God physically and spiritually comforted a prophet in deep depression, rather than shaming him.
• Faith vs. Feelings: Why faith and emotional struggles are not arch-enemies, and how daily relying wholly on the grace of the Holy Spirit carries us through trials.

Resources Mentioned:

• As We Still Rise by T.R. Monroe
• Beyond the Good by T.R. Monroe
• Faith, Feeling, and Freedom (The F-Cube: 52-Week Prayer Journal) by T.R. Monroe

In a culture that often swings between purely secular materialism and hyper-spiritualizing pain, how should a Christian navigate clinical depression and anxiety? In this episode of the Gospel Truth Project, Jason sits down with Dr. Josh Wageman (PhD, DPT, PA-C, CLS, CSCS) to dismantle the "false gospel of the mind."

Join us as we explore:

• The Theology of the Body: Understanding why the physical brain matters and how the Fall (Romans 8:22) impacts neurochemistry.
• Elijah’s Breaking Point: An exegesis of 1 Kings 19 and why God’s answer to suicidal exhaustion was rest and physical sustenance, not a rebuke.
• The Role of Medicine: Seeing doctors, counselors, and medicine as instruments of God's common grace, rather than a lack of faith.
