Dad, why do you put so much emphasis on Romans 4:5?

Dad, why do you put so much emphasis on Romans 4:5?

Author: 1517 September 19, 2023 Duration: 14:58

Ted asks about why Rod speaks of Romans 4:5 so much. Rod talks about our sinful nature, and the imputation of Christ's righteousness to the wicked, the mystery of the Gospel going 'around self' & being gifted anyway, and how God works, contrary to our fallen sense of fairness.

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.
