Summary

Understanding how Paul's insights in Romans about sin, wrath, and cosmic powers reshape our view of salvation and what it means for living in the Kingdom today, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve into deep theological concepts of what we are truly saved from and how this impacts our embodied lives.

Key Takeaways:

The Cosmic Powers of Sin and Wrath – How sin and wrath are active forces that enslave humanity, not just individual moral failings.
Paul's Theology in Romans – Unpacking how Paul's writings provide a deeper understanding of salvation, moving beyond traditional interpretations.
New Creation Space – Exploring the concept of purified temple space through Jesus and how believers inhabit this space to live out the Kingdom.

0:00.0	Hey everybody.
0:16.5	Timothy Stafford and Michael Leary here.
0:19.5	We're so glad you're tuning in.
0:20.8	Welcome to the Voxology Podcast.
0:22.8	We can be found on Voxology Podcast.com.
0:27.3	Anywhere podcasts are played.

1:53.6	You missed a huge opportunity and I left thinking you were actually just plugging her book.
