## Resource

An atheist friend looks at a devout, church involved Christian who blew up his life with adultery and says, "I am over here minding my own business and not hurting anybody while you church people are doing this stuff." In Part 2 of this conversation, we stop talking about statistics and start talking about what the Bible actually says about Christians and sin. We unpack universal guilt, judgment vs being judgmental, the visible and invisible church, sanctification, suffering, and why God hates hypocrisy more than we do. Then we start into the deeper question under the whole debate: if you think of yourself as a "pretty good person," where does that standard come from? IN THIS EPISODE [1] Universal sin and why the Bible does not put Christians on a moral pedestal [2] Judgment vs being judgmental and why discernment is unavoidable [3] Visible vs invisible church, Westboro, and why Jesus was hardest on religious hypocrites [4] Why church should be a hospital for sinners, not a showroom for the "fixed" [5] Everyone is a hypocrite, and not everyone who says "Christian" is actually born again [6] Works of the flesh vs fruit of the Spirit, and what sanctification really feels like [7] How older, wiser believers help younger Christians fight the same battles [8] Why Christians still suffer and still sin, and what to do when a brother falls [9] "Good atheist vs bad Christian," horizontal comparisons, and the limits of evolution talk [10] Societal norms vs true moral good: slavery, oppression, and moral blind spots [11] Voddie Baucham on why there was only one truly good person, and He volunteered [12] Suffering, loss, anger at God, and bringing the real you to Him [13] A teaser for a future episode on objective morality and where "ought" comes from
