Listen "7: Romans 2:17-29"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Pastor Clay welcomes Sarah Blackstone, a minister on the worship staff at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. She has a unique perspective as a lifelong church kid. They dive into Romans chapter 2, verses 17-29, a passage that really hits home the message of inward transformation over outward appearances.
They discuss hypocrisy, what it means to truly follow God, and how this ancient text applies to us today. Sarah shares some powerful insights, especially about the challenges of living in an affluent area and the importance of transparency and accountability within the church. We even touch on how worship music can play a role in challenging us to examine our hearts.
