Against The FLO

When my own logic and efforts were coming up short, Grace stepped in.

One of the themes of the Bible is redemption. I take a look back at how God redeemed me from addiction, and brought forth a new way to think about relationships.

I was reflecting on a crazy good talk given by Dr. Bryan Loritts. He helped me point the finger inward as we wrap up this series on Jesus reply to the Expert of the Law. Check out his amazing talk in Bridgetown Church list of teachings under Race & Justice.
