Join Ben and Elizabeth as they talk through the nature of sin and the beauties of the gospel. Seth Haines among others is quoted in helping us understand the problem of sin and how it plays a role in each of our lives. Talked about is the importance of how we view sin, Ben says, “if we have a small view of sin we will always have a small view of Jesus. If we believe we only have a little bit of sin in us then we will believe we only need a little bit of Jesus to fix us. But the cross says so much more than that.” Enjoy this episode!

Archetype Coffee

Join Ben and Elizabeth as they share their thoughts and feelings around the death of George Floyd. In view is the response of Lament, unguarded prayers to the God we know to be true and faithful. Prayers of lament live in the tension between real suffering and real hope. To lament is to hang on to both realities without belittling the value of either. Mentioned are passages of Scripture from Lamentations and the Psalms. The writers of Scripture were not aloof from the presence of injustice, but rather injustice was all around them all the time. Talked about is “meaningful action” as we take steps to pour our souls out to God through prayers of lament He uses us to take good action His heart being the motivator.
