Episode 5: Faith, Repentance, and the Land of Lothlorien

It’s been a week or two, right? All right, all right…ten months. So sue us. No, don’t…sue us. Just listen as we talk about life and family amidst our musical endeavors, enduring loss and more. We go through the latest post to the blog that Dave just finished and talk about Jake’s recent performance marking the seasonal transition at our church. We dip our toes into the current political scene as we talk about one of Dave’s current selections for light reading, and our prayerful desires to help our neighbors who will be encountering hardship as government benefits face interruption. We also get to hear Dave try his hand at a bit of audiobook production, reading a brief selection from Lord of the Rings, and discuss what it means to share these kind of stories with kids as they grow. Listen in and let us know what you think, and how we can pray for you!

Two posts ago I wrote on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and in the previous one I moved onto regeneration, the effect of that baptism.  Now the fruit of regeneration comes into view: faith and repentance. While they are two separate concepts with different definitions, they are hand in hand in the work these words describe in the lives of Christians. No one will have saving faith in Christ that is not accompanied by a lifetime of repentance from sin. Likewise, no one can walk away from their sin in any method that does not involve a faith in Christ born of the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
