Episode 18: …And Your Sinful Flesh

As Christians, we are assailed every day by the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh. But it’s easy to dismiss the ways that our sinful flesh can betray us, especially when sin effects our ability to think and feel. Providing spiritual and pastoral care isn’t about getting people to improve themselves and sin less, but absolving those sins, preaching the Word in its full strength and purity, baptizing and communing them, and reminding them of who they are in Christ. Over and over and over and over again.
