You repent of your sins, believe in Jesus, and commit to following him. With wind in your sails, you start fighting the good fight through things like scripture memory and preaching the gospel to yourself.

The half-full gospel: a faith in Christ without the personal presence of the Spirit.

You repent of your sins, believe in Jesus, and commit to following him. With wind in your sails, you start fighting the good fight through things like scripture memory and preaching the gospel to yourself. What started out as a salvation through faith by grace turns into salvation through personal discipline. Your soul starts to ask, "Is this it?"

Does that story sound familiar? So many of us are living in light of a half-full gospel. In this episode, Joey and Cassidy share the good news that when we receive the fullness of the Spirit, we receive the FULL gospel our souls long for.
