You may have never phrased the question this way. Perhaps you have never paused to consider what those barriers might actually be. Yet, in this episode, Dr. J and Cameron will turn their attention to and dive a bit deeper into the book of Romans. In doing so, we’re going to learn a little more about sin, confession, repentance, and salvation. No matter how strong or tall those barriers we have built may be, we serve a God who is infinitely stronger to overcome them.
