The Gospel According to Paul #20. Romans 7:14-25.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/318845/fan_mail/new] Some people treat the Gospel like a one-time transaction. A “get out of hell free” card. Just enough Jesus to fix a problem and move on with life. But Paul paints a much deeper picture. Romans 7:14–25 is one of the most difficult and debated passages in the book of Romans. In this episode, we wrestle with the tension of the human condition, the struggle with sin, and what Paul is really showing us about life apart from the transforming power of Christ. This is not just about behavior modification. It is about the deeper war happening within us.

The Gospel According to Paul #18 Romans 6:15-23

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/318845/fan_mail/new] You’re going to serve somebody. Bob Dylan said it… but honestly, Paul said it first. In Romans 6:15–23, Paul lays it out plain—there’s no middle ground. We’re either serving sin or serving righteousness. That’s it. And here’s the tension… we like to think we’re free. But Paul flips that idea and shows us we’re always being shaped by what we surrender to. Sin leads somewhere. Righteousness leads somewhere. Both have an end result. So the real question isn’t if you’re serving— it’s who you’re serving. Episode 93 is all about that choice and what it actually looks like in real life.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/318845/fan_mail/new] “Houston, we have a problem.” That famous line from Apollo 13 captures the tension Paul is addressing in Romans 6. The problem then is the same problem now—sin. Paul raises the question many believers wrestle with: If grace is real… does that mean sin doesn’t matter? In this episode of Sage Spirituality, we look at Paul’s answer and what it really means to be dead to sin and alive to God. Freedom isn’t just theoretical—it’s meant to shape how we live.
