What does belonging to Jesus Christ actually mean and how does that transform our entire approach to life? In Romans 1:5-7, we discover a profound truth: the gospel saves and commissions us to live out and share it. I hope you’re ready, my friend, as we are challenged to live out God’s divine calling for our lives. 

#304 “Belonging to Christ: The Power of a Called Life” (Romans 1:5-7)

Have you ever experienced such strong emotions that sitting still became impossible? Something so important, so urgent, that you had to act? That’s the kind of passion Paul had for the gospel. In Romans 1:8–10, we’ll see what drove his relentless passion, gratitude, and calling to share the gospel.

#305 “When the Gospel Won’t Let You Sit Still” (Romans 1:8-10)

How do we build each other up in faith, like Paul talks about in Romans 1? He says he longed to be with other believers so they could mutually encourage each other’s faith. That hits home. When we show up and share the gifts God has given us, something powerful happens. We grow stronger—together.

#306 "Don’t Underestimate Your Faith" (Romans 1:11-15)

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to live by faith in every part of life? In this episode, we’ll unpack Romans 1:17—seeing how faith reveals God’s righteousness by highlighting His unwavering character, His justice and mercy, and by strengthening our hearts to endure every trial. 

#308 “A Life Powered By Faith” (Romans 1:17)

Have you ever met someone who thought they had it all figured out—always talking like a genius—yet their choices told a very different story? On today’s episode, we’re discussing how rejecting God’s truth results in spiritual blindness—even when someone thinks they are smarter than God. 

#313 “Smarter Than God?” (Romans 1:22)

What makes a person give up a real diamond in order to take a fake plastic one? Sounds crazy, right? But that’s what an ungodly person does. They often abandon the glory of their Creator for cheap imitation versions. In this episode, we will uncover the tragic pattern of idolatry, explore why it still tempts us today, and learn how to stand firm against it. 

#314 “The Great Exchange: From Creator to Counterfeit” (Romans 1:23)

What happens when people keep rejecting God? Romans 1:24-25 says, “God gave them up”—a frightening moment when He lets go. We’ll discuss what it means when God hands sinful people over to their lusts and impurities, and how sin causes real, lasting damage.

#315 “The Consequences of God’s Withdrawal” (Romans 1:24-25)

What happens when we trade God’s design for what we want instead? In today’s episode, we’re looking at Romans 1:26-27 and talking honestly about "The Cost of Dishonoring God With Our Bodies." This isn’t just about behavior—it’s about what happens when we walk away from God’s order and truth.

#316 “The Cost of Dishonoring God With Our Bodies” (Romans 1:26-27)

Have we reached a point where we actually cheer for what’s evil? Romans 1:28-32 is a serious warning about what happens when truth is pushed aside. Today, we’re digging into this hard but necessary passage—and how we can stay grounded in a world that’s losing its way. 

#317 “The Applause of Evil” (Romans 1:28-32)

Have you ever wondered what God truly knows about you—the things no one else can see, even the secrets buried deep in your heart? In Romans 2:1–4, Paul reminds us that one day God will judge the hidden motives of people. In today’s teaching episode, we’ll explore why His judgment is perfectly fair, how it shows our need for grace, and what it means to live honestly before Him.

#318 "God Judges the Secrets of Men" (Romans 2:1-4)
