In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, the Grow Group dives into Hamartiology—the doctrine of sin. Pastor Joey, Aaron, Brandon, and Barry explore the origin of sin through Genesis 3, the consequences of rebellion against God, and the human tendency to hide sin rather than confess it. They candidly share personal stories, spiritual insights, and theological truths, focusing on God’s grace, the need for repentance, and the power of biblical community. The discussion wraps with prayer requests and encouragement for walking closely with Christ.If you want to follow along with our daily scripture readings, Anchored devotional guides are available on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. • 00:00–00:21 — Introduction & welcome by Aaron (filling in for AB and Chip) • 00:21–01:32 — Personal updates from Joey, Brandon, and Barry, including family highlights and humorous anecdotes • 01:32–03:13 — Barry shares a story of divine timing: a canceled event makes room to house a woman in crisis • 03:13–04:35 — Spiritual awareness and the “spiritual reticular activating system” • 04:35–05:20 — Introduction to the topic: Hamartiology – the doctrine of sin • 05:20–06:58 — The necessity of acknowledging sin before salvation; why many avoid calling sin what it is • 06:58–10:07 — Discussion of Genesis 3: The fall of man, consequences of sin, and Adam & Eve’s choices • 10:07–12:06 — Impact of small sins and the illusion of harmlessness; sin’s ripple effects • 12:06–13:14 — Secret sins and how others often recognize them; shame and hiding from God and people • 13:14–15:09 — Adam’s responsibility in the fall, complacency in spiritual leadership • 15:09–17:03 — The deception of sin and its allure: “you can be like God” • 17:03–19:14 — Covering sin with fig leaves vs. God’s provision through sacrifice • 19:14–22:14 — Confession, repentance, and God’s requirement for genuine acknowledgement • 22:14–23:31 — Sin’s lasting effects and the gravity of spiritual death • 23:31–25:12 — Repetitive sin and how it numbs our sensitivity • 25:12–27:53 — Breaking the pattern of sin through Scripture, accountability, and spiritual disciplines • 27:53–30:20 — The role of community and the danger of “spectator Christianity” • 30:20–32:34 — Spiritual warfare and training with the Word of God • 32:34–34:05 — Bible reading as training to wield the Sword of the Spirit effectively • 34:05–36:00 — Guilt vs. shame; healing through identity in Christ and safe community • 36:00–43:09 — The process of biblical repentance using the prodigal son as a model:Rebellion → Ruin → Realization → Regret → Return → Repentance → Restitution → Retribution → Restoration → Reconciliation • 43:09–44:29 — The power of the cross and the reality of forgiveness despite past sin • 44:29–47:00 — Prayer requests and closing reflections on community impact and godly parenting • 47:00–51:09 — Closing prayer by Aaron and episode wrap-up with ministry links
