E323 - Unpacking the Dual Reality of Being a Sinner and a Saint

Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastors Jason Wieland and Brandon Bathauer talk about a common question for Christians: what does it mean that I am simultaneously a sinner and a saint? The conversation starts by looking at what the Bible says about us as sinner, then what the Bible talks about us as saints. It addresses the confusion of what it means to hold these two in tension and talks about the difficult emotional toll that this can have on people. Many people find themselves stuck in cycles of shame, guilt, or doubt when wrestling with their sin vs. their supposed saved nature. Jason and Brandon talk about the powerful reality of sanctification, what it means to live in a new identity, and provide some tools and resources for anybody who is struggling to understand and live out this reality of being both a sinner and a saint. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by the Saddleback Spiritual Growth Team.
