About this Episode

We're living through a hinge point in history — and the data shows most of us aren't handling it well. When everything is shifting, the instinct is to find what works and hold on tight. But Paul's letter to the Romans carries an honest warning: a strong commitment to a very specific way of life will eventually lead to turmoil and cut you off from God himself.

In This Teaching

  • Why clinging to a specific way of life leads to personal turmoil — and cuts you off from God
  • How the Hebrews in the wilderness and Israel's religious leaders both made the same costly mistake
  • What Rick Rubin's advice to songwriters reveals about following the Spirit in a changing world
  • Three practical ways to train yourself to discern what is higher: the Gospels, old books, and serving the poor
  • Why the resurrection changes everything about how loosely you can hold your life
