Big Eva's Special Sin with Dr. Jared Moore
Why does Big Eva have such an affinity for same sex attraction? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, goes back to the difference between the Reformed approach to sin and Rome's.
We're talking to Dr. Jared Moore about his forthcoming book, The Lust of the Flesh. Dr. Moore's work really devastates institutional evangelicalism, prompting a lot of unneeded anger but little of the needed repentance. What you'll find in Lust of the Flesh (and this episode) is a whole lot of the Bible-saturated, morally unafraid, unfashionable truth that is in such short supply today.
