Do I need to get to work and make Jesus happy?

Do I need to get to work and make Jesus happy?

Author: 1517 March 7, 2023 Duration: 10:46

Ted asks if we as Christians need to get busy in order to gain or maintain our salvation. Rod talks about sanctification versus justification (using a two-column idea), what weight believers' works have regarding their salvation, and how Reformation theology is different than what many churches in America are teaching and preaching.

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.
