Are you managing sin? Let it goooooo!!! In this episode the team explores the transformative journey of becoming more like Jesus and the freedom found in the process. What does sanctification mean? How do we die to self, renew our minds, and embrace the messy, challenging path of spiritual growth.
 
Just like weeds in a garden, sin can choke our spiritual progress. True freedom comes from the hard work of pulling these weeds, tending to our spiritual gardens, and allowing Christ to guide our transformation.
