Trying to wrap our minds around the simultaneous oneness and distinctness of Father, Son and Spirit can be challenging. Some camps within Christianity will even highlight or focus on just one of the persons to the neglect of the other two. Chris Palmer joins Gary Wilkerson to discuss the importance of not playing favorites with the persons of the Trinity. Chris challenges listeners to really wrestle with scripture and come to a biblical understanding of the Trinity that will transform your worship and your prayer life.

All of us experience and have a basic understanding of gravity but we might start to get lost if the conversation heads toward more complicated concepts and theories. The same can be said of the doctrine of the Trinity. If you’re a Christian, you’ve experienced the saving work of the Trinity, but you might not fully understand how God can be both three distinct persons and one God or what role each of them plays. Fred Sanders joins Gary Wilkerson to discuss the doctrine of the Trinity and encourages Christians to dig deeper into understanding the distinctness and oneness of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

This week, he and Gary discuss the types of sexual addiction and where they can spring from in our pasts. God wants to heal these deep heart wounds.
