Summary

Some are hard-pressed to believe in the extraordinary or miraculous. While it is understandable that we may be challenged by the extraordinary, we shouldn’t be, because ordinary things are actually far more phenomenal. With this and the next episode, we begin at the end, with the conclusion of the entire series: to make clear our destination, believe and follow Christ to the end, and help others do the same. Today, the focus is simply “believe.” We’ll walk through the pattern of syllogisms, piecing together an important syllogism threaded throughout scripture, which I call “Reason Down.” If you understand Reason Down, not only will your faith be fortified, but you will know that with God, all things are possible, and nothing should be hard to believe. Please join me on this journey and stand forever. Transcript/Notes: https://tinyurl.com/3k73uxdz
