0:00.0	Welcome to the Jeff Kaven show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and evangelization putting it all together and living as activated disciples.
0:12.0	This is show 312, 5 Essentials to Overcome Sin.
0:18.0	Well, thanks for joining me again this week. I'm Jeff Kavens, and today we're going to talk about 5 Essentials to Overcome Sin.
0:31.0	You might be thinking to yourself, well, I've tried this before, but it didn't work. Well, yes, it will.
0:38.0	We're going to talk about overcoming sin, and we're going to look at this whole idea of understanding what's really happening in sin in our life, and what is the goal of sin?
0:49.0	And I want to draw from St. Pope John Paul II, because I think he can help us understand a bit more what sin really is.
0:58.0	I'm talking about the inner dynamics, your relationship to God, your relationship with the Father.
1:03.0	You know, John Paul II says that all sin really is a rejection of the Father.
1:09.0	And when you think about it, you'd have to come to the same conclusion that doesn't matter what it is in life.
1:16.0	As far as sin goes, there is either an explicit or implicit rejection of the Father.
1:22.0	His love, his security, his provision, his direction, his correction, all of these different things.
1:29.0	If we reject the Father, then we're going to find ourselves in a whole basket of trouble.
1:36.0	And that basket is called sin. So we're going to take a look at that.
1:40.0	By the way, I heard from my producer that some people were asking, how do you get a hold of the show notes?
1:48.0	Because rumor has it that I give a lot of show notes. I give a lot of scriptures and a lot of quotes.
1:53.0	And I try to provide as much of that as I possibly can in the show notes so that you don't have to pull over.
2:01.0	You know, on the side of the road or stop running and take that little notebook out and write down some notes.
2:06.0	I already did it for you. So all you got to do is text my name. That's Jeff Kaven's one word.
2:13.0	J-E-F-F-C-A-V-I-N-S.
2:16.0	And then you can text it to the number three three seven seven seven.
2:21.0	That's three three seven seven seven.
2:23.0	And you'll be all aboard and we'll get you the show notes for every single show like today.
