About this episode

Stephen discusses humanity's drift from God and the deeper implications of this turning away as described in Romans.

Have we drifted from God without even realising what we have exchanged? Stephen says this passage is not mainly about one issue but about a deeper turning away from God, and how that drift shows up in every part of life, from pride and gossip to sexual impurity and self-made idols. God’s anger is not a lightning bolt from a temperamental deity, but the heartbreak of a loving Father who sometimes lets us go our own way when we insist on it. Yet there is a greater exchange: Christ takes our brokenness and gives us his righteousness, and we are invited to draw close to others with humility, courage and longing for their rescue rather than standing at a distance.
