Can I sin enough to overcome the cross?

Can I sin enough to overcome the cross?

Author: 1517 October 11, 2022 Duration: 10:41

Ted asks about struggling with fear that, finally, my sins have become more than Jesus' forgiveness will cover. Rod talks about who Jesus spent time with consistently, what those people were like, and what message He had for them and what He promises to and for sinners—even sinners who continue to sin, even while believing in Jesus Christ, like St. Paul.

In the spirit of those free-flowing back deck conversations in Irvine, Talks with Dad Rod captures the essence of long talks about life, faith, and everything in between. This podcast is a continuation of that tradition, now hosted by Rod and his son, Ted. Each brief episode distills the warmth and depth of those discussions into a six-minute format, offering a moment of reflection amidst daily routines. Listeners will hear candid exchanges rooted in a Christian worldview, yet broadly engaging with culture, philosophy, and the nuances of modern society. It’s less a formal lecture and more like pulling up a chair to listen in on a thoughtful dialogue between a father and son. The podcast naturally explores spirituality and personal experience, aiming to provide genuine connection and insight one short talk at a time.
