If you are a Christian who keeps sinning despite genuinely wanting to stop, this episode was made for you. And the answer is not that you need more willpower. The answer is that you have been fighting the wrong way.

Khalil, Sean, and Jeff unpack the biblical concept of mortification of sin, what Paul means in Romans 7 when he describes the experience of doing what he does not want to do, and why the Holy Spirit plus genuine community plus sacramental rhythms is the battle plan that actually works. This is not a willpower problem. It is a spiritual strategy problem. The episode covers the difference between putting off the old self and putting on the new, what confession and accountability actually do in the sanctification process, and why grace and effort are not opposites in the Christian life. Welcome to the Table episode 78 explains how Christians can put sin to death through biblical mortification, drawing from Romans 7 and John Owen.

If you are a Christian who keeps messing up despite trying to do better, this episode gives you the biblical framework for actually winning the daily battle against sin, not through self-improvement but through the power of the Holy Spirit and genuine community.
