In this episode, we discuss the darkness that resides in all of us. Should we be surprised when Christians sin–and sin heinously? What do we mean by total depravity? What do we do when we come face to face with the wickedness of our hearts?

Members Podcast topic: We talk about how it is possible to create a culture in the church where people are not shocked when others sin. We talk personally about the darkness of sin and give examples of what wouldn’t surprise us.
People like to talk about the “demands of the gospel.” But does the gospel make demands of us? Must we forsake sin in order to come to Christ? Do we need to make Jesus Lord of our lives?
Many of us have spent our Christian lives chasing after experiences. We live in pursuit of spiritual highs and that “first-time feeling.” There is something different and better. Jon and Justin talk about what that is.
What is the purpose of your sanctification? Who is it for? (Hint: It’s not for you.) We survey a number of passages from the New Testament to demonstrate the point of our growth in Christ.
