“If That Makes Sense” is a podcast with a group of young adults talking about some of the questions and challenges their generation faces as followers of Jesus.
God’s family is like a tree, and we’re all the branches. We can only understand our place in the big picture when we go back to the Root. Mike, Robbie and Tim read and discuss their thoughts on Romans 11.
When you have good news, you share it! We have the privilege of being used by God to share the Gospel. Becki, Tately and Tim are talking about the mysterious ways God spreads his good news to the whole world.
With eternity in the balance, some are saved, some are lost. If God is in charge, how could that be fair? It’s an age old question that Tately, Mike and Tim are asking as they look at Romans chapter 9.
What can truly threaten the eternal hope we have in Christ? The Apostle Paul answers it for us: Absolutely nothing! Tately, Becki and Tim talk about one of the most hopeful chapters in all the Bible.
Because of Jesus, our relationship to God is intimate: God is our perfect Dad and we’re His kids. How does that change the way we live for Him? Robbie, Lydia and Tim talk the first 17 verses of Romans 8.
You’re a believer, but you continue to struggle with sin. Why is it so hard to do the right thing? If that describes you, you’re in good company with the Apostle Paul! Tately, Mike and Tim are talking about Romans 7.
“I’m not hurting anybody.” Actually, our “small,” secret sins hurt us and our relationship with God. If our sin-ruled self died by Christ’s work on the cross, why would we return to it? Tim, Becki and Robbie talk about pursuing life in Christ.
Yes, God’s grace really is that big. From the first sin of Adam to your last unkind thought, Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross does more than just cancel out the bad stuff we humans do – so much more! Lydia, Mike and Tim are talking about the “more” of God’s grace.
In war, sometimes the only way to survive is surrender, putting yourself at the mercy of your enemy. That’s kind of like the Christian life. We’re marveling at God’s forgiveness in Romans 5: “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
It’s in our nature to want to prove ourselves – even before God. The bad news: you can’t possibly measure up. The good news: you can’t possibly measure up! That’s where a faith like Abraham’s – faith in God’s promises – saves the day. Our hosts dive into Romans chapter four.
