What You'll Discover

Two Views of Sin

Explore the difference between Federal Headship (being condemned in Adam) and Inherited Sin (sin as a 'substance' inside you).

Three Modern Errors

Unpack the dangers of perfectionism ('I'll never sin again'), fatalism ('I'm just a sinner'), and the therapeutic model ('Sin is just trauma').

Age of Accountability

Tackle the tough question: do babies go to hell? And what does the Bible say about an age of accountability?

The Healthy Tension

Learn how to balance the reality of our sinfulness with the power of the Holy Spirit to walk in righteousness.

Healing vs. Repentance

Discuss the difference between needing healing from trauma and needing repentance for transgression, and why both are biblical.

The Daily Walk

Discover why we need the atonement not just for our past, but for the grace and power to obey God today.

From Doctrine to Daily Life: Episode Summary

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.

1. Defining the Problem

Is sin a legal status we inherit (Federal Headship) or a corrupting force within us? The hosts break down the main theories.

2. Identifying the Errors

An analysis of three unhealthy extremes in the church today: legalistic perfectionism, cheap grace, and reducing sin to a therapeutic issue.

3. Finding the Balance

Exploring the biblical call to a humble, daily dependence on God's grace, recognizing we are 'forgiven children of God.'

4. A Call to Present Grace

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.

How Should We Then Live?

This episode offers a path forward, helping believers find a healthy, humble, and hopeful way to approach sin in their daily lives.

Avoiding the Ditches

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 Daily Walk of Grace

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.
