Join Bailey Mullens and Michael Weidman as they tackle the doctrine of Original Sin, exploring its biblical basis, its practical implications, and the common errors that trip up believers today.
Explore the difference between Federal Headship (being condemned in Adam) and Inherited Sin (sin as a 'substance' inside you).
Unpack the dangers of perfectionism ('I'll never sin again'), fatalism ('I'm just a sinner'), and the therapeutic model ('Sin is just trauma').
Tackle the tough question: do babies go to hell? And what does the Bible say about an age of accountability?
Learn how to balance the reality of our sinfulness with the power of the Holy Spirit to walk in righteousness.
Discuss the difference between needing healing from trauma and needing repentance for transgression, and why both are biblical.
Discover why we need the atonement not just for our past, but for the grace and power to obey God today.
This episode moves beyond a dry definition of Original Sin to explore the practical tensions every Christian faces. It's a conversation about balancing the reality of our fallen nature with the call to holiness, and how to avoid the common pitfalls that lead to either pride or despair.
Is sin a legal status we inherit (Federal Headship) or a corrupting force within us? The hosts break down the main theories.
An analysis of three unhealthy extremes in the church today: legalistic perfectionism, cheap grace, and reducing sin to a therapeutic issue.
Exploring the biblical call to a humble, daily dependence on God's grace, recognizing we are 'forgiven children of God.'
Concluding that the atonement isn't just for yesterday's sins, but is the power we need to walk in the Spirit and obey God today.
This episode offers a path forward, helping believers find a healthy, humble, and hopeful way to approach sin in their daily lives.
We break down how the errors of legalism and license both stem from a misunderstanding of grace. One leads to pride and self-justification, the other to a powerless faith that robs repentance of its meaning.
The solution is to 'forget what is behind and press on,' focusing only on today. We need the same grace that saved us to sustain us, approaching each day with a fresh dependence on the atonement of Christ.
