À propos de cet audio
We kept the awkward cold open on purpose—because today’s conversation starts messy and turns miraculous. Justin is back after an emergency C-section and a week in the NICU with baby Ezekiel (“Zeke”). Out of that whirlwind, he shares a gospel reframing that changes how you think about sin, shame, and why white-knuckling never sets you free.
Richard and Justin unpack Romans 5 and Titus 2 through a powerful NICU analogy: sin isn’t a slap-on-the-wrist for “spilling the milk”—it’s a condition you were born into. Separation from God isn’t Him arms-crossed at the door; it’s a Father whose heart breaks while He moves heaven and earth to bring you home. The punchline? Your first and most powerful prayer isn’t “I’ll try harder.” It’s one word: “Thank You.”
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why behavior-first strategies keep you stuck—and what identity-first freedom looks like
- How Romans 5 reframes sin as condition, not condemnation (and why that matters for p*rn)
- The one-word prayer that ends the shame spiral and jump-starts real transformation
- How grace actually trains you (Titus 2) to say no to ungodliness without hating yourself
- A simple way to practice gratitude that rewires your reactions in the heat of temptation
