Read The Stranger’s Conflict

In Romans 7:15-19, Paul describes a universal struggle: the desire to do good but failing and doing things we know are wrong. This internal conflict often leads to frustration and guilt, contrary to God’s intentions for us. “The Stranger’s Conflict” explores why we face this inner turmoil and offers insight into overcoming it. I talk about how you can navigate these conflicts by embracing God’s grace, ultimately finding peace with God, and living a fulfilling life as a Christ follower.
