Can Christians sin to the point that there is no mercy left? Is it normal for Christians to struggle with sin--even heinous or intentional sins? When Christians sin badly and for a long time, do we fall from God's favor? Is there any comfort for the struggler? Jon and Justin consider all of this and more in today's episode.
Semper Reformanda: Jon and Justin discuss the views of different traditions when it comes to apostasy and struggles with sin.
