Episode 25

Romans 8: A Deeper Look at Justification

In early 2020, Ryan called Brian to discuss the book “Justification” by N.T. Wright, whom they have mentioned several times. Last week they talked at length about what the word can mean and how it was used in scripture and this week, they continue that conversation by looking at Roman chapter 8. As mentioned in the previous episode, the can be a controversial topic but the Bistro is a place for conversation and dialogue and that's what we are going to do.

Ryan Sarver

Ryan was a student of Brian’s at Lincoln Christian College almost twenty years ago — not a good student, but a student nonetheless. He graduated with a degree in worship ministry and worked in the local church for several years. Now, Ryan owns and operates a video production and marketing company, telling stories for non-profits and businesses.

Ryan loves reading books on theology and engaging in conversations. He and his wife, Lauren, share two children and live in the Indianapolis area. One of his claims-to-fame is making the best popcorn ever — just ask his kids.

Ryan’s favorite movie is The Tree of Life. He enjoys all kinds of ethnic foods, as well as pour-over coffee — keep your K-cups to yourself 🙂
