692: Vertical vs. Horizontal Morality & Rediscovering Confession with Jamin Goggin
The Holy Post
Why Confess to Others, Not Just God?
Jamin outlines James 5:16’s call to confess to one another for intercession, healing, and protection against self-deception.
A recent article tries to explain why so many politically active Christians behave unchristianly in the public square by differentiating “vertical” and “horizontal” sources of morality. The Holy Post crew examines the argument and finds it weak. Has MAGA ignited a revival in the U.S.? David French says we may be confusing a political revolution for a spiritual revival. Jamin Goggin joins Skye to discuss recovering the practice of confession in our churches. Goggin says it should start with pastors. Also this week—man does not live by 1200-year-old bread alone.
