Charting Hypocrisy: Why Going Through the Motions Matters

In this episode, I am exploring what it actually takes to be transformed. Christianity’s central claim is that God doesn't just want to form our behavior or make us "nice people." He wants to completely transform us into new creations. To break down how this works, I am using the brilliant mind of C.S. Lewis to guide the conversation.

We will look at why doing the right thing even when your heart's not in it isn't necessarily hypocrisy. Rather, it is a "holy pretense" that God uses to change us from the inside out. I talk about the painful, crisis moments of change, the danger of letting our raw feelings drive our actions, and the eternal splendor that this transformation ultimately produces.
