Do we need to balance grace with the law? Does grace open the door to sin?

Is hyper-grace even a thing.

Join Loren, Michael, and myself as we take a look at “𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓛𝓪𝔀 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓖𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓮”.

We love sweet baby Jesus! But do we like the man that baby becomes? Does the Gospel begin in the manager? Or are we perhaps starting the message at the wrong place? In this episode Michael, Jim, and Loren discuss where the Gospel begins and the importance of the incarnation in relation to that starting point.

Did you know we're living in a season where we're witnessing the wrath of God? But before you grab that megaphone and head to the nearest street corner to start screaming at people about God's burning anger you may want to first learn what that means. For the vast majority of Christians the wrath of God doesn't mean what they think it means. God is love and he is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. Jim, Michael, and Loren launch season 4 with a fascinating discussion on the wrath of God and how AI is humanity's effort to cope with that wrath.

Jesus said to go into all the world and make disciples. But what does that mean? What does discipleship look like? Is discipleship a Bible study? A class one attends? An academic curriculum? It seems there are as many ideas about how to disciple believers as there are Christian denominations. Jim, Michael, and Loren take a look at this important topic.

Isn't it interesting that Matthew, Mark, and Luke are strikingly similar? And that 2nd Peter and Jude are also so similar? What if the Bible interprets itself? What if certain writers actually pulled from other writes when they wrote their texts? Take a seat in the classroom and join Michael, Jim, and Loren in this fascinating conversation!

Many have said the answer to all of our problems in the West is revival in the church. Some people will watch a big event filled with emotional fervor and exclaim that the church is in revival. Is revival what the church needs? Are we in a revival? What is the difference between a revival and a movement? Jim, Michael, and Loren discuss revival and movements, particularly the Jesus People Movement.

Do good deeds achieve God's favor, leading to a successful life? Are wealth, fame, and power evidence that one is following Jesus? Michael, Jim, and Loren discuss the theology of glory that has polluted much of Christianity. This leads to a discussion on twisted leadership in the church, what causes it, what makes us susceptible to it, and what's the fruit of it?

We've never made current events the topic of our podcasts. But after witnessing the awful responses from many Christians to the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, it became evident how few Christians understand the Gospel and are not walking in the path Jesus called us to walk. This podcast is a call to repentance for all of us to get off the broad road that leads to destruction and turn to the narrow way that leads to life.
