    |Episode Summary|In this episode, Christine breaks down The Gospel of Jesus Christ and is intended for three groups of people:1. The individual who is walking led by Holy Spirit and is very aware of the spiritual battle within them every day, sometimes moment by moment.2. The individual who grew up in church or around churched people and is aware of the Gospel of Christ, but lacks understanding of the spiritual battle within them.3. The individual who was not churched growing up, nor surrounded by professing Christians; who is taking an interest in the things of God maybe for the first time, being drawn to God by Holy Spirit Himself. Christine explains the Gospel through the lens of 1. Creation 2. The Fall and 3. Redemption, with an emphasis on point #2 and our lack of joyfulness being our problem all along, not God's. |Points to reflect on while listening or afterwards|1. Do I genuinely believe that lack of joyful living is rooted in sin?2. Do I genuinely believe that Jesus Christ is the ONLY solution to the problem of my sin and the lack of joy in my life?As always, email in your reflections to Christine at theunconventionaljoypodcast@gmail.com and connect with her on the following platforms:Instagram: @twinmamplus_1Facebook: Christine EddingerLinkedIn: Christine EddingerYouTube Channel: The Unconventional Joy Podcast  Thank you to those who have shared, rated, reviewed and subscribed!
