Summary

Jon and Justin revisit the first episode they ever recorded together, “The Dark Side of Christianity.” If we are going to live honest and helpful lives in the church, we have to acknowledge that things often feel dark. Where does this darkness come from? It comes from the corruption of our flesh, and it comes from the work of the evil one. The guys talk about both in this episode. Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin go a little bit deeper into the realities of the demonic realm and spiritual warfare. Resources: “The Bruised Reed” by Richard Sibbes “The Whole Armor of God” by Iain Duguid Our episode on Romans 7 Our episode - Christian, There Will Be Sin
