Episode 90: Do Not Lose Heart
Episode description
Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know!
Our salvation is less about being free to do whatever we want and more about having the freedom from sin that once kept us in bondage. In this episode, Dot and Cara explore some of the key themes Paul covers in 1 and 2 Corinthians, including the idea of freedom. They explain how 1 Corinthians was written to call out problems in the church, and 2 Corinthians is a more gentle reminder of God’s heart for the Corinthians. Grab your Bible and a notebook and join us for this episode!
