What Is Sin & Why Do Most Conservatives Get It Wrong?

Failing to bother to love is the scriptural concept of sin Jesus teaches in the gospels. In this episode, we build on this concept of sin and discuss why moral injury can make it difficult for progressive Christians to talk about sin constructively. We then discuss our theology of sin in light of President Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the defunding of USAID.  The Progressive Christians Podcast is a ministry of The Loft, a worship community of Westwood United Methodist Church.
