On this week’s episode of Further, Brenton and Chris dig into John 16 and the often-misunderstood “unforgivable sin,” clarifying it as a persistent refusal to believe the Holy Spirit’s witness about Jesus. They talk through the difference between conviction and condemnation, showing how God uses guilt and shame not to crush us, but to draw us back to Himself in grace. Chris unpacks how unbelief sits underneath all our sins—even as believers—and how our constant drive to “prove ourselves” is really a longing to get back to the righteousness we lost in Eden. They also explore how self-righteousness shows up in everyday things like parenting, marriage, performance, appearance, and even sports, and how the Spirit slowly teaches us to rest more in Christ’s righteousness instead of our own. Finally, they discuss the Holy Spirit’s convicting work through the church, the dangers of acting like the “sin police,” and why our primary aim with others must be to point them to Jesus, not just to behavior change.
