Why the Cross Changes Everything: Unpacking the Gospel

About this episode

Cole and Bobby discuss the significance of the cross and its implications for forgiveness and faith.

Can God really forgive me after what I have done? In this episode of the Connect Podcast, Cole and Bobby answer real questions people are asking about the cross, forgiveness, struggling with sin, fear of rejecting the faith, what happens when we die, and how to live with grateful accountability before God. This conversation points us back to the heart of the gospel: Jesus died for our sins, rose again, and fully forgives everyone who comes to Him in faith.
