In this encouraging episode, Ross O'Hair and Jamie Pharis Pyles talk about Romans 6:6-7 and what it means to be truly free from sin. They share how, because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we don’t have to be controlled by our old sinful habits anymore. Through helpful examples and personal stories, this episode shows how we can live in freedom every day. If you’re looking for hope and a fresh perspective on your walk with God, this episode will lift you up and remind you of the freedom Jesus gives!

Key Verses:

Romans 6:6-7: “We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin.”

Quotes:

“You're no longer controlled by the power of sin. You are dead to it.”

“The more we believe the truth about being freed from sin, the more freedom we experience.”

Key Points:

1. The old nature has been crucified with Christ, so we are no longer slaves to sin.
2. True freedom from sin comes from knowing and believing in the death of the old self.
3. Experiencing freedom from sin is about walking in new patterns and understanding that the old ways no longer satisfy.
