Shouldn't Christianity just flow after the gift of the Holy Spirit?

Shouldn't Christianity just flow after the gift of the Holy Spirit?

Author: 1517 August 29, 2023 Duration: 18:07

Ted asks about the idea that the Christian life should be relatively smooth after the gift of the Holy Spirit. Rod talks about what the New Testament tells us about Christianity, what saves sinners, and using some imagery from C.S. Lewis, what we learn from Jesus about how much God loves us so that He would save us even as we sin against Him.

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.
