In this episode, Dr. J. Mark Beach joins us to unpack John Calvin's insights on the essence of the Christian life from his seminal work, the Institutes of the Christian Religion. Drawing from Book 3, chapters 6-10, Dr. Beach centers on Calvin’s thoughts on self-denial, where he’ll challenge us to move beyond nominal Christianity to a genuine faith.
