In this episode of Faith for Normal People, Pete and Jared talk with David P. Gushee about what it means to take seriously the moral teachings of Jesus. They dig into how Jesus’s teachings are anchored in cultural context, yet still speak to real-life questions about freedom, forgiveness, status, and what it looks like to live well and love others.  Show Notes → https://thebiblefornormalpeople.com/episode-61-david-p-gushee-living-the-teachings-of-jesus/  Watch this episode on YouTube → https://youtu.be/rkaqc-0AT8I ********** This episode is brought to you by Skylight.

This month’s episode is a conversation I had with Dalton Shaffer, Music Ministry and Liturgy Director at Candeo church in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I’ve followed Dalton for a while on Instagram, and his inspiration for worship leaders is always ROCK solid. A few weeks ago, he had a post titled “Stop Singing this song in your church,” and it got my attention. But this wasn’t just clickbait bashing mega church worship songwriters and shallow worship leaders who only focus on the vibe a song creates. After diving a little deeper, I realized he was giving worship leaders some great insight into what we should be considering when choosing songs for corporate worship.

We all long for assurance, especially when it comes to our relationship with God. In this message from Romans 8:1–11, we explore one of the most beautiful truths in all of Scripture: if you are in Christ, you are truly free from condemnation.You can live with certainty because the Holy Spirit lives in you as your guarantee, and works through you as visible evidence of your salvation. No more performing. No more pretending. Just the peace and joy of being fully known, fully loved, and eternally secure.
