You're a Christian... so why do you still sin?!   In this episode we talk about what sin is, why we struggle with it, and what the Bible says about overcoming it. We learn the difference between the indwelling of the Spirit and the "filling" of the Spirit and how to walk in the freedom Christ offers.   For more: see  How to Walk by the Spirit in the EWAT shop.
