"Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ" (Rom 1:16), Part 4/4

Send us Fan MailRomans 1:16 sounds simple until you actually live it: “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.” We sit with that line and ask what it really means when fear hits, when people mock, or when we’re tempted to stay quiet. Our conviction is direct and non-negotiable: the gospel is not motivational talk or religious trivia. It is the power of God unto salvation, and when we stop preaching it, we stop delivering the very message God uses to save.From there we widen the lens and talk Bible study that actually changes how you read. The gospel is not locked in a few New Testament verses, it’s threaded through the whole storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. We challenge ourselves to look for Christ on every page and even in surprising places like Esther, where God is not explicitly mentioned. If Jesus says the Scriptures testify about him, we want the habit of seeing him everywhere, not only where it feels obvious.We also tackle hard theology with plain speech: election, predestination, God’s sovereignty, and the claim that “free will” can become a kind of disbelief when it puts us in the judgment seat over God. Ezekiel 36 anchors the point with God’s promise to give a new heart and to work so that his people walk in his ways. We close with encouragement, prayer, and a call to be unapologetically bold while trusting that God does the saving work.If this challenged you, share it with someone who wrestles with Romans 1:16, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.
