We don't normally think of words like accountability and discipline in a positive

repent of sin.

Welcome to the Radical with David Platt podcast,

incorrect topic. And when I say that, I mean that pretty much everything we're about to see in God's word goes

against the grain of the way we're wired in this world. So let's just jump right in. We live in a world. So let's just jump right in.

We live in a world where it's offensive to say that a particular belief is wrong and it's even more offensive to tell someone that what they're doing is wrong.

After all, who do you think you are?
