And Also With You

Does Being a Christian Make Me a Better Person?

Episode Summary

In this episode we discuss a timeless topic but we are recording it in the context of the new year. It is early January, a time when people are typically thinking about their goals and intentions for the new year. Having habits, goals, etc. isn’t inherently a bad thing! But it becomes tricky when we think we can somehow be “better” people. There is a prevalent thought within Christianity that our faith is supposed to make us better people. In this episode Laura and Ethan talk about resolutions and how they might relate to our faith.
