Welcome to another episode of the This is Gonna Hurt podcast.  In this Wednesday Wisdom episode, Gordon pursues the Big Idea of the Spirit of Adoption from Roman s 8.12-17 Thanks for listening! Romans 8.12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba!

Welcome to the rare Free Thursday episode of the This is Gonna Hurt podcast.  In this episode, we celebrate the Washington Nationals, your World Series champions.   Starting the season 19-31, few believed they would make the playoffs, and almost no one believed they would win the World Series.  But they did, because they were resilient.  In addition, they set a World Series record by winning every game on the road.  That's crazy. Resiliency is the strength to overcome and persevere, and the Nats are definitely resilient - a lesson for all of us.  Thanks for listening, and we will be back on Monday with one of our long form episodes.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thisisgonnahurt/support

Welcome to another episode of the "This is Gonna Hurt" podcast.  In this episode, Gordon preaches from Romans 8.5-11 where he asks the question: How is life in Christ best understood backwards but lived forward.  Romans 8. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you
