This week, we began a series of discussions called "Social Distortion." Mike Erre argued that sin and salvation are worked out in community, not just individually. That brought up a LOT of listener questions: Can I sin in isolation? Can I have identity in a community of faith and still not experience salvation? Isn't it possible to encounter God as an individual? Mommy's little monsters Kevin Dixon and Tim Timmons join Mike for this week's discussion.
