You've probably heard someone say, "all sin is the same to God." But is that really true? Are there degrees of sin? And if there are, what does that mean for the sinner? What does that tell us about God? Dr. Evan Posey joins Whitney Capps and co-host Russ Greer for a look at the theological underpinning that helps us better understand this idea and the ideas that flow from it.

Oreos. They're more than just a clever marketing campaign. They're the quintessential cookie for millions of Americans (and non-Americans, probably). But it's no longer just a chocolate cookie filled with a sliver of vanilla cream. There are now (roughly) 438,000 variations on what was once a bastion of consistency. Whitney Capps and co-host Russ Greer discuss their positions on this most important topic.
