Can we really live out the Gospel in our daily lives and relationships?In this episode of Focused on Christ, host Mike Crump and Pastor Nathan Smith dive into Romans 12. After exploring the profound theological mysteries and sovereignty of God in chapters 1 through 11, the Apostle Paul transitions directly into practical sanctification. Pastor Nathan and Mike unpack what it truly means to present ourselves as a “living sacrifice” —a daily process of dying to self, renewing our minds, and refusing to let the world mold our affections.
They also discuss:
Discovering Spiritual Gifts: Why we should stop waiting to feel “competent” online and instead step into serving through humility and sacrifice.
Handling Conflict: How the Gospel transforms how we treat fellow believers and how we respond to a hostile world.
The “Burning Coals” Mystery: What Paul actually means when he tells us to bless our enemies and leave vengeance to the Lord.
If you’ve ever struggled to find God’s daily will for your life or wanted to know how to live peaceably with others, this deep dive is for you.
