Summary

The Bible describes becoming a Christian as so transformative that a new believer is likened to a “new creation”. This week Jordach asks, if that is true then how do we make sense of the fact that we often find unbelievers with a healthier balance of self-regulation, EQ, interpersonal interactions and an overall better lifestyle? Shouldn’t we expect that living with the Spirit of God inside would dramatically improve a person’s behavior? And if that’s not what we’re seeing, then is that evidence against the plausibility of the Christian faith? We'll be wrestling with this topic on today's episode of Ask Away. ------ We’re so glad you joined us for Ask Away. If you have a question that needs answering, we’d love to hear it.
