A place where people can find who they are in Jesus Christ and their purpose in life. A path that leads to following Jesus Christ and to walk with other believers into a life full of joy, peace, love and victory.
In today’s podcast episode I would like to talk to you about the topic of the sin nature that people whether you are a believer and non-believer of Jesus Christ deal with on almost a daily basis. During our time together we dive deep into faith, theology, and the questions that shape how we live and believe. Today’s episode tackles a foundational—and often misunderstood—topic: What is the sin nature? Why do humans have a tendency toward wrong, even when we want to do right? Is it something we’re born with, and what does the Bible actually say about it? We will be unpacking the origins of the sin nature, how it affects our daily lives, and what hope there is for freedom and transformation.(My apologies for the technical difficulty with the previous episode and this episode.)Send us a text
