About this episode

Pastor Jesse Randolph joins the show to critique the doctrine of active obedience and discuss its biblical implications.

Pastor Jesse Randolph of Indian Hills Community Church and the Sound Words podcast joins the show to talk about the imputation of the active obedience of Christ doctrine.
