Sacraments Not Signs

from Outlaw God

In this episode of the Outlaw God Podcast, Dr. Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith discuss how Luther's mentor, Johann von Staupitz, helped shape his understanding of faith, the cross, and the sacraments. They explain how Luther moved away from trying to earn God's favor through love and good works and began to see that faith, not human effort, is the key to justification. They also explore how Luther struggled to find assurance in the sacraments and why he would eventually come to understand God's grace in a new way.
