Ep. 232 The Christian and Idols of the Heart

Pastoral authority is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the modern church.

Ep.230 What does it mean to mortify sin?

In this episode, Nathaniel Jolly and Ekkie Tepsupornchai discuss what it means to mortify sin, why every Christian must take sin seriously, and how believers are called to put sin to death by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rather than managing sin, excusing sin, or making peace with sin, the Christian is called to wage war against it while resting in the finished work of Christ.

In this episode, Pastors Ekkie and Nathaniel examine the biblical doctrine of Christian liberty and what it truly means to be free in Christ. Many misunderstand liberty as permission to do whatever they desire, while others add unnecessary restrictions where Scripture is silent. We explore how Christian freedom is grounded in the gospel, governed by love, constrained by holiness, and exercised for the glory of God.

Join us as we consider what Scripture teaches about conscience, personal convictions, stumbling blocks, and living wisely in a culture that often confuses liberty with license.
