What if the real reason you keep slipping back into the same sins is not a lack of willpower but a lack of the right battle plan? In this episode of Welcome to the Table, Khalil, Sean, and Jeff unpack the biblical idea of mortification of sin and show how the Holy Spirit, grace-filled effort, and Christian community work together to help you actually change.

You will learn:
