Ever read Romans 2 and think, “Wait—are we saved by faith or judged by works?” We invited Pastor Dustin into the studio to press into that tension and map the big moves of Romans without losing the thread. Together we read Romans 2:1–13, revisit the contrast from Romans 1, and show why Paul isn’t contradicting himself—he’s building a timeline: all humanity faces just judgment, faith unites us to Christ’s righteousness, and real faith produces real works.We dig into the Day of Wrath and the Day of the Lord, why many traditions split them and why others see one climactic moment. From there, we tackle prophecy’s “dual fulfillment” and the mountain-range effect, then step into eschatology—dispensationalism versus historic premillennialism—in everyday language. The heart of the episode centers on faith and works: how “judged by works” makes sense when Jesus “trades resumes” with us, how James 2 and Romans 4 agree when you put them in sequence, and why works are evidence of life, not the cause of it.We also explore conscience and natural law for Gentiles, the tough question of those who’ve “never heard,” and the difference between general and special revelation. Dustin shares mission stories—from visions in the Muslim world to surprising conversions—that show God’s initiative and his consistent path back to the gospel. Finally, we connect circumcision, Sabbath, and baptism: how “everlasting” signs find fulfillment in Christ, why the true circumcision is of the heart, and how baptism fits as an act of obedience that marks our union with Jesus rather than earns it.If you’re hungry for a clear, coherent reading of Romans that honors grace and makes sense of obedience, hit play and journey with us.
