Christian partners with Jonathan “JP” Pokluda, Lead Pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, as well as John Luke, Luke, Reeves, and Jacob to tackle the tough expectations in the later part of the book of Romans. The guys tackle difficult subjects such as alcohol use or other troubling and subjective discussions within Christianity as they relate to fellow brothers and sisters. Christian opens up the discussion of turning the other cheek versus defending one’s values, and Luke illustrates a very recent example of that principle.

In this episode: Romans 13-16; 1 Corinthians 1, verses 17-27

Christian, John Luke, and Luke explain their impressions of Romans 10, and they agree that while believing in Jesus is essential, that belief should also make itself evident by one’s behavior and personal transformation. Christian admits to struggling with believing in Jesus as a teenager, while his life didn’t reflect a submission to the Gospel at that point in his life. John Luke cautions against generalizing other people’s faith based on a single point in time, since a relationship with God takes time and discipline to develop.

In this episode: Romans 10; James 2, verse 19

Christian, John Luke, Jeffrey, Luke, Parker and Reeves work their way through the rest of Romans 9, exploring difficult ideas like the sovereignty of God and the existence of free will. Jeffrey is convicted by Paul’s heart for the salvation of others and the desperation with which he cared about sharing Jesus. Reeves found his own way to wrap his brain around the concept of God’s will versus his own will, and Christian emphasizes the need for humility in our faith, rather than the arrogance that could so easily come with knowing we’re saved.

In this episode: Romans 9, 2 Peter 3, verse 15; Romans 8, verse 28; Romans 11, verses 15-16; Jeremiah 18; Exodus 34, verses 10-14; Deuteronomy 5, verse 22; Genesis 3

Christian, John Luke, and Luke are ready to dive into Romans 7 with founder and lead pastor of Fresh Life Church and a best-selling author, Levi Lusko. Levi takes time to clarify the scriptural references to Jewish law, Roman law, and the New Covenant of Jesus, while John Luke ponders how to fit God’s ideals into modern life in a practical way. Christian points out that turning our hearts toward Jesus doesn’t happen overnight, and a lifetime of sin means we should give ourselves grace when we mess up in our faith walk, and Levi emphasizes that feeling remorse for sins means that God’s spirit is living in us and guiding us toward righteousness.

Christian, Luke, and Paker are joined by lead pastor of Auburn Community Church, Miles Fidell, to discuss the paradoxical nature of Romans 6. Christian wonders about the modern American interpretation of conversion that makes it seem so easy, when in Paul’s time the switch to Christianity often came with steep personal cost. Miles emphasizes that Jesus has already done the work of providing grace, but it’s up to us to make a sacrificial choice every single day to live under that grace. Parker opens up about his past struggles, and the guys agree that living a new life in Jesus often negates the pleasures our old selves reveled in.

In this episode: Romans 6; Luke 14

Christian points out that often we’ll look in all the wrong places for inner peace, and Aodhan poses the question of “What do you do when your faith needs refreshing?” John Luke suggests that true hope is knowing God will fulfill every promise he makes to us.

Christian invites Ben Stuart, pastor of Passion City Church in Washington, D.C., to enlighten him, John Luke, Reeves, and Luke on the relationship between faith and good works. Ben emphasizes that moral behavior is a result of being saved by Jesus, not the cause of salvation. Reeves and Christian have struggled with understanding the infinite nature of God, and Luke ties Romans 4 back to the story of Abraham’s faith, even through his own trials and death before witnessing the outcome of God’s promise.
