We live in a unique culture.

Around the world, for all generations, people have understood that there is a God and that God expects us to live a certain way.

Even cultures with multiple gods will attribute natural disasters, tragedy, or illness to “the gods” being upset.

But today, in 21st-century America, we rarely think about God as a God who expects us to live a certain way.

In this episode, we talk about sin, why it’s important to consider our own sin, and how feeling the weight of our sin actually drives us into a deeper love for Jesus.
