Ep. 43 | Adopted by God w/ Barton Priebe
In this episode, we have the privilege of hearing from Barton Priebe, Lead Pastor of Central Baptist Church in Victoria, as he talked with Jessica Powell about his new book, “Adopted by God: Discover the Life-Transforming Joy of a Neglected Truth.”
You’ll get to hear him explain why the doctrine of adoption is such an important one, why he says it’s been a neglected truth in the church, and how there is life-transforming joy to be found when we truly embrace our identities as sons and daughters of God. He also shares how understanding and teaching this doctrine can be incredibly helpful for us as church leaders who are trying to help navigate our churches through controversies, such as the ones many of us are dealing with now during Covid!
