Have you ever felt like something about you was broken before you even chose anything?

In this powerful teaching, Austin Gardner explores the two "planes" of humanity: Being In Adam and being In Christ. Drawing from his personal journey with a genetic cancer diagnosis and 50 years of global ministry, Austin explains that sin isn't just something you do—it's a condition you were born into.

But there is good news. Just as you didn't choose to be in Adam, you have been included in the victory of Christ.

Stop trying to "Fix Adam." You can't repair a failing plane while it's in mid-air. Instead, Austin shows you how to "switch planes" by realizing your new location in Jesus.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The Genetic Link: How our spiritual identity is inherited, not earned.
  • The Team Principle: Why you win when your Head (Christ) wins, even if you’re on the bench.
  • Top-Down Leadership: How a new "CEO" (Jesus) changes the entire company of your life.
  • Identity vs. Effort: Why "In Christ" means you are a new creature, not just a repaired one.

Key Scripture References:

  • 1 Corinthians 15:22 — "For as in Adam all die..."
  • Romans 5:12-19 — The offense of one vs. the obedience of One.
  • 2 Corinthians 5:17 — Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.
