This week we discuss the wide and deep topic of sin. We discuss what is sin, how can we overcome it, and how God wants us to respond when we sin.

Mr. Larlham joins us this week discussing his favorite bible verse of John 3:30 and why it means so much to him. This podcast has so much to cover such as why being a Christian makes sense, how to deal with hard times in life, and most importantly how the focus is on Jesus and not on ourselves.
Proverbs 4:5-9 "Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: Love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding"
Proverbs 3:14-18 "For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly."
This week was beautiful as we discussed the very broad topic of seeing God's love. Throughout this conversation there are many unique perspectives taken and wisdom shared. The basis of Christianity and Jesus' whole mission was love. That is why He did what He did on the cross for us. Exploring this love and recognizing it is a skill in its own but so powerful when acted upon.
We want to make it very clear especially with this video that we are NOT theological experts or anywhere near that. We started this whole thing as kids just wanting to share conversations we were having and that is what we are continuing to do.
