📅 Release Date: July 10th, 2025

🎧 Host(s):  Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, & Robby McKinney.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, we dive deeper into Pastor Chris’s sermon “What is Sin? Part Two,” challenging the misconception that Christianity is merely about rules and restrictions. Instead, we explore how God's commands are rooted in His character and are meant to bring life, joy, and freedom. The conversation blends theological insight with personal reflection, humor, and practical wisdom as we unpack the purpose of rules, the seriousness of sin, and the liberating nature of living for God's glory.

Key Discussion Points:

· Misunderstanding sin as mere rule-breaking vs. violation of God’s character

· Why God's moral law is an expression of who He is

· Contrast between King Saul and King David’s responses to sin

· True repentance: grieving sin against God vs. grieving consequences

Takeaways:

1. God's commands aren't killjoys—they’re the pathway toreal joy.

2. Sin isn’t just bad behavior; it’s a relational breachwith a holy God.

3. Focusing on living righteously is more transformative than simply avoiding sin.
