Welcome back to another episode of the Grow: A Bible Podcast! We are jumping straight into the power of Romans 8:1 to explore the life-changing truth that there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Joining Pastor Jason is our new co-host, Pastor Jeff Zubek, to discuss why walking around with your "tail between your legs" in shame actually disrupts your relationship with God and how to step into the freedom of the Spirit.

To understand the weight of this promise, we take a masterclass look back at the foundation Paul built in Romans Chapters 1 through 7. We unpack the mechanics of God's blessing—showing how it equips us regardless of our behavior—and dive into the "three-vote proposition" between the flesh, the spirit, and the soul. From the "meat and potatoes" of original biblical languages to the moment sin broke its own law at the cross, this episode is a deep dive into why you no longer have to clean yourself up to be close to the Father. Tune in to move past the law of sin and death and into a life empowered by grace!

Welcome back to another episode of the Grow: A Bible Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into Romans Chapter 7 to discuss the struggle between sin and grace. We explore biblical stories such as Moses striking the rock, and discuss the importance of faith over works. They also touch on the re-engineering of the human experience through the Holy Spirit, overcoming struggles like addiction and shame, and the significance of living by the Spirit rather than the letter of the law. Join us as we explore how to live a life free from condemnation and empowered by God's grace.
