Christian and his crew of friends Parker, Luke, Jacob, Reeves, and Jeffrey take on Romans 3 and a deep discussion about God’s grace, judgment, discipline, and mercy.

Jeffrey points out that just because people of faith or leaders in churches may fail, God’s faithfulness never does. Christian admits that he sometimes struggles with the pride of doing the “right” things hoping to make God proud, and the guys agree that being honest about your struggles is the best way to heal from them.

Christian, Jacob, Luke, and Parker dig into Romans 2 and take a look at their own struggles as they relate to the themes of constant confession, sitting in judgment of others, and accepting the grace of God even when we feel we don’t deserve it. Christian uses his recent disastrous experience with air travel as an example of how God never gets bored with our confessions of the same sin, even if we do. The guys encourage looking for God’s kindness, even in the midst of a bad situation, rather than giving in to resentment or anger.
