Ep. 58 - Lock & Key, Knowing Christ, Hamartia: Welcome plodders! Pastor Wilson kicks things off this week by addressing the controversial topic of chastity and how it is not the same virtue for both sexes.

Show Notes: Lock and Key: Chastity is not the same virtue for both sexes Because men & women are different, they sin differently, and the consequences of their sins are different This seems so offensive because it contradicts a central lie of feminism: that men and women are in fact interchangeable A lock that opens to a hundred keys is worthless, and a key that opens a hundred locks is somehow admired by our culture (obviously not to be admired by Christians) Knowing Christ: Written by Mark Jones A packaging of rich Puritan theology He takes a very cheesecake rich theology, and packages it into a very understandable way Amazing devotional or group by Plodcast
