The Cruciform Podcast

What if the Holy Spirit is trying to lead you… and you’re ignoring Him?In Romans 8:12-16, Paul draws a clear and confronting line: those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Not those who simply believe the right things, those who actually follow His leading. This episode unpacks what it really means to live by the Spirit instead of the flesh, how we put to death the deeds of the body, and why the Spirit of adoption sets us free from fear so we can cry out “Abba, Father.”We also get practical about what it looks like when the Holy Spirit leads, including those moments when He says “no” to things that look good on paper.

Can you keep telling God “I’m sorry” while never actually changing?In this episode we dig into Romans 8:9-11 and Paul’s bold declaration: “You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit.” Many believers still see themselves as slaves to sin, waiting for heaven to fix everything, but Paul calls us to something more.We unpack positional and progressive sanctification, how the cross frees us from both the penalty and the power of sin, and why we still wrestle with the flesh even though the old self has been crucified with Christ. Then we confront a subtle false gospel of our age: one that invites people to confess their sin without ever calling them to repent. Confession is honestly bringing your sin to God. Repentance is turning away from it. Without repentance, it isn’t the gospel Jesus preached.If this episode encouraged you, follow the show so you don’t miss the rest of our journey through Romans, and share it with someone who needs to hear that the cross is enough.

Ever feel like you know what a flourishing Christian life looks like, but you just can't keep it up for more than a few weeks? In Episode 54, we unpack Romans 8:5–8 and the battle between the flesh and the Spirit.We talk about what it really means to "set your mind" on the things of the Spirit, how the media we consume is shaping us more than we realise, why it's "fruit" (not "fruits") of the Spirit, and why you can't live the Christian life in your own strength."For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit." – Romans 8:5📚 Click the link here to explore the new free courses from Behold Ministries! https://www.beholdministries.life/courses🌐 Check out our website here for more information, or to reach out to us privately https://www.beholdministries.life/the-cruciform-podcast🤳 You can follow us on social media too!https://www.instagram.com/cruciformpodcast/If this episode encouraged you, like, subscribe and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

How do we, as disciples of Jesus, respond to the gospel? Do we keep on sinning, or has God given us a better way to live? Today, we unpack a rich part of Scripture that confronts our tendency to keep bowing down to sin. The gospel tells us that we have been set free.
