Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Log Cabin Podcast, Luke opens Finis Ewing’s Lecture XVIII: Experimental Religion and explores the heart-level, Spirit-wrought work that marks true Christianity. Ewing draws a sharp contrast between a merely practical religion and a merely emotional one — insisting instead on a genuine, sensible experience of conviction, repentance, faith, and joy.This episode walks through Ewing’s warnings about “insensible religion,” his critique of ministers who preach what they’ve never experienced, and his biblical argument that true conversion is always known and always transformative. A timely, authentic reflection for a world hungry for something real.
