What motivates our actions? Is it better to “fake it until we make it”, or wait until we are sincere? This episode discusses the externals and internal aspects of living the gospel in the context of the “new covenant” spoken of by Jeremiah. This portion also discusses “new covenant” in historical and literary context and the psychology of change.

Anna and Mike continue the discussion.
