Apr 26, 2026
Ryan, a cultural commentator who offers practical, pastoral reflections, and Caleb, a theological thinker who brings Greek and lexical insight, dig into Romans 6:16–23. They debate slavery to sin versus righteousness. They unpack doulos, porneia, moral knowledge, and how small compromises lead to bondage. Conversations touch on baptismal newness, freedom through limits, and what practical righteousness looks like.
