Along the way, we’ll hear echoes from Acts 15, warnings from Church Fathers like Ignatius, and reflections from Martin Luther’s own battle with self-righteousness.Whether you’ve been crushed by spiritual performance or confused by Christian elitism, this episode calls you back to the freedom and fullness found in Jesus alone.
