About this listen

Have you ever heard the ancient phrase O Felix Culpa—the "happy fault"? It sounds like a massive typo in Christian theology, but it holds the key to understanding one of the biggest questions of faith: Did Adam's sin actually earn us something better than what we lost?

In this deep dive, we break down the shocking reality of the Fall of Man and why God allowed it. We’re tearing down the modern myths of absolute "freedom," exploring the toxic workplace of Romans 6, and unpacking the agonizing internal war of Romans 7. Plus, we simplify massive theological concepts like Justification vs. Sanctification, and the ultimate heavyweight debate: Supralapsarianism vs. Infralapsarianism.

Whether you feel trapped in the daily grind of your own brokenness, or you're wondering how God handles the chaotic "tennis returns" of human rebellion, this episode will completely reframe how you see grace, suffering, and the unstoppable redemptive plan of God.

Listen to discover:

  • Why true neutrality doesn't exist (and who you're really working for).

  • The difference between Judicial Forgiveness and Parental Forgiveness.

  • How the "Master Tennis Player" analogy explains God's sovereignty over evil.
