Roman Rants

In this episode of Roman Rants, we explore Romans 2:17–29 and Paul’s warning about the dangers of religious pride.

The Jewish people had the law and a long history with God—but instead of allowing it to transform their hearts, many used it to elevate themselves above others. Paul challenges this mindset and reminds us that true faith is not about outward appearance or religious performance, but about a heart changed by the Spirit.

Pastor Mike and Epi talk honestly about pride, legalism, accountability, and humility—and why the most powerful witness of the gospel isn’t perfection, but transformation.

In Romans 2, Paul turns the spotlight from obvious sin to something far more subtle — self-righteousness.

In this episode of Roman Rants, we unpack the danger of judging others while quietly excusing ourselves. What’s the difference between judging and condemning? Why does self-righteousness harden our hearts? And how does God’s kindness actually lead us to repentance?

We explore confession, forgiveness, bitterness, daily surrender, and what it means to live coram Deo — before the face of God.

This is an honest, practical conversation about keeping a soft heart and allowing the Holy Spirit to search us first.

Because before we point fingers outward, Scripture invites us to look inward.

In this episode of Roman Rants, we dive into Romans 1:16–17 and unpack what it really means to live unashamed of the gospel in a world that often pushes back against biblical truth.

Why is faith so hard sometimes?
Why do we drift from gratitude into self-reliance?
And how do we stand firm without becoming harsh or self-righteous?
