War on Marriage

Thanks for joining us on the War on Marriage Podcast! In this episode, we close out our 4-part series by discussing how we can find grace and redemption of our past sins through Jesus Christ.Our premarital sexual sins left us with an empty spot in our hearts. It was only through Jesus and our own repentance that we were able to find grace and redemption. We dive into Luke, Matthew, and Romans so see how Christ gives us grace, even when we so often fall back into our sins.If you want to continue the conversation or have recommendations for future episodes, head over to our Instagram page and send us a direct message.

Thanks for joining us on the War on Marriage Podcast! In this episode, we continue the Our Story series by looking at how to be ruthless with our sin.Jesus teaches us, in Matthew 5:29-30, how to handle sin. In this specific case, He is speaking about adultery and sexual sin. He calls us to gouge out our eyes and cut off our hands when we find sin infiltrating our lives. He, of course, does not mean to literally gouge or cut these things out but to deal with sin in such a ruthless manner that it would be impossible for you to continue committing this sin again.If you want to continue the conversation or have recommendations for future episodes, head over to our Instagram page and send us a direct message.
