Episode 13: Freedom From Habitual Sin

In this episode of What Do You Wanna Know?, Pastor David Martin and Venus Griffith tackle one of the most common struggles Christians face: recurring sin and temptation.

Why do believers still wrestle with sin even after giving their lives to Christ? Are we actually powerless against temptation, or have we misunderstood what the Bible says about freedom?

This conversation dives into the difference between temptation and identity, why many Christians still live like slaves to sin, and how renewing our minds through God’s Word changes the way we fight spiritual battles.

Instead of approaching the topic with shame or condemnation, this episode focuses on the authority, freedom, and transformation available through Jesus. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t break, this conversation will help you see what Scripture actually says about your ability to walk in freedom.

Romans 6:6–14, Romans 8:1–2, Romans 12:2, 1 Corinthians 10:13

The resurrection of Jesus is the greatest news humanity has ever received. But to fully understand the power of the empty tomb, we have to start much earlier - at the beginning of the story. In this message, we explore three gardens in Scripture that reveal God’s plan for redemption: the Garden of Eden, where sin entered the world; the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus chose obedience and prepared to bear the weight of our sin; and the Garden Tomb, where death was defeated forever. The resurrection proves that sin and the grave no longer have the final word. Because Jesus rose, we can move from death to life through faith in Him.1. “The Garden of Eden” (Genesis 2:7–9; Genesis 3:1–9)* God created humanity for fellowship with Him* Sin entered through Adam and brought shame and separation* Even after sin, God pursued humanity and called out, “Where are you?”2. “The Garden of Gethsemane” (Matthew 26:36–39; Luke 22:44)* Jesus faced the crushing weight of humanity’s sin* In agony, He chose obedience to the Father’s will* The cross became the place where Jesus took our punishment and our shame3. “The Garden Tomb” (Matthew 28:1–6; John 20:27–29)* The tomb could not hold Jesus* The resurrection proves Jesus’ victory over sin and death* Everyone who believes in Christ can receive eternal life and be made new

Episode 12: The Question You Can't Avoid About Easter

In this episode of What Do You Wanna Know?, Pastor David Martin and Venus Griffith dive into the heart of the gospel - the death and resurrection of Jesus - and why it’s not just a tradition we celebrate, but the foundation everything stands on.

From unpacking the historical reality of the resurrection to answering questions about Holy Week, Easter traditions, and why the suffering of Jesus matters, this conversation brings clarity to what can often feel like familiar - but misunderstood - ground.

If Jesus truly walked out of the tomb, then we’re not dealing with symbolism - we’re dealing with a moment in history that demands a response.

They also explore:

• Why the resurrection validates everything Jesus claimed
• The significance of reflecting on the crucifixion before celebrating Easter
• What makes the gospel “good news” in the first place
• Practical ways to prepare your heart during Holy Week

This episode is both grounded and thought-provoking - helping you move beyond routine Easter rhythms into a deeper understanding of what actually happened, and why it still matters today.

Scripture referenced:
Matthew 27–28, Luke 24, John 20, Hebrews 4:15
