Makeup on a Pig

Sep 26, 2026  •  Evan Norris, Justin Ryder

In this Preview Podcast episode, Evan and Justin introduce the upcoming small group lesson on Romans 6, addressing Paul’s response to the twisted idea that believers should sin more so grace may increase. They discuss why that mindset is enticing and dangerous, contrasting cheapened grace with the reality that salvation means dying and rising with Christ, not using forgiveness as an excuse to live in sin. The conversation emphasizes that Christians are no longer enslaved to sin, should not let it reign, and are called to offer themselves to God as “weapons for righteousness.” They highlight the ongoing, often painful process of sanctification—God shaping believers into Christ’s image—and encourage listeners to live with an eternal perspective, wage war against sin, and prepare for next week’s discussion of Romans 7.
