Ever wondered why faith can sometimes feel like a stumbling block? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives into the concept of the 'offense of faith' as discussed in Romans chapter 9. He explains how the idea of faith, particularly faith in Jesus, can be quite shocking and even offensive to our natural instincts and rational thinking.
Colin uses vivid metaphors, likening faith to a stumbling stone that trips us up and forces us to confront our limitations and need for divine intervention. He argues that true faith challenges our self-reliance and exposes our moral shortcomings, making it a humbling experience. Throughout the episode, Colin defends his stance against critics who accuse him of promoting a 'soft gospel'.
He passionately explains that real faith is anything but weak—it demands belief in the midst of chaos and peace in the face of turmoil. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complexities of faith and looking for a deeper understanding of its challenging nature.
