The Gospel Accourding to Paul #12. Romans 4:9-15

Send us Fan MailRomans 4:9–15 | Big Faith and Real GrowthIn this episode of Sage Spirituality, Joil Marbut continues the journey through Romans 4:9–15, unpacking Paul’s gospel-centered argument that righteousness has always come by faith, not law or religious markers. Using Abraham as the foundation, Paul reminds both Jews and Gentiles that God’s promises are received through faith alone—a truth that can feel almost too good to be true.From there, the conversation widens into what big faith really looks like. Faith is not a feeling or passive belief, but an active trust that grows through testing, obedience, and surrender. Joil explores how God uses trials to strengthen faith and offers practical wisdom on cultivating growth through the “three C’s”: crowd, consumption, and commitment.The episode also tackles an important and often sensitive topic—distinguishing between healthy spiritual authority and spiritual abuse—offering clarity, compassion, and biblical grounding. This is an invitation to deeper trust, wiser discernment, and courageous faith that steps fully into God’s promises.Thank you for joining us at the table.  Visit us at sagespirituality.com for more.
