In Romans 12:9-21, Paul gives us a great list of very practical ways we live out our faith. This is sanctification in action. And it starts with love.
Never lose sight of what God has done for you in the gospel. Let that grace and your identity in C... more

I stumbled across Sean’s podcast on a debate he did on another podcast. I have found his information very helpful, sound, and biblical! If you want a balanced perspective on a wide range of biblical topics, this podcast will be a big blessing!
