Ever notice how “try harder” leaves you tired and unchanged? We dig into Romans 15 and pull apart the comforting story we tell ourselves about being naturally helpful people. Paul refuses to boast in anything except what Christ accomplishes through him, and that flips the script on effort, ego, and spiritual growth. We talk frankly about selfish habits, why uncoachable hearts don’t change, and how honest confession opens the door to real transformation.
From there, we get practical about sanctification. This isn’t theory—it’s daily repentance, disciplined habits, and speech that builds instead of corrodes. We unpack the difference between happiness and durable joy, and we name the trap of being “Christian in words only.” Paul’s journey from persecutor to apostle shows that the gospel alters what we think, how we talk, and what we do. But none of it works without the Spirit. We explore why clever arguments can’t raise the dead, how God’s breath brings life to dust, and why surrender beats hustle when it comes to heart change and lasting rest.
Mission doesn’t stop at the church doors. You’re placed where you live on purpose. We share simple, non-awkward ways to invite friends and neighbors—barbecue tables, school events, two honest questions—to spark deeper conversations. Evangelism is presence, patience, and prayer, not a memorized pitch. We close with clear questions to act on: Do you believe what you say you believe? What deed will show it today? Are you ready for the next faithful step, from repentance to baptism? If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more people find it.
