In this episode of Guided by Faith, we continue our walk through Romans chapter 8, moving from freedom from sins penalty to freedom from sins power. Building on Romans 7s picture of the exhausting inner struggle with sin, Jay explains why Romans 8 is one of the most victorious chapters in the Biblebecause it shifts the focus from I to the Holy Spirit. While living in our own strength leads to frustration and failure, God has given believers His Spirit to live within them as a true power source.

As you learn to rely on the Spirit daily, you can experience real victory, peace, and spiritual growth.
