As the student questions series continues, I’m talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we continue working through chapter 7 of the book, which discusses sin.

Some discussion prompts related to this passage can include:

• Why not live according to design?
• Try an exercise: Create a list of things we'd like God not to forbid, and talk about reasons why
• What happens when a trailing effect takes over as a purpose and primary cause?
