Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike unpacks Romans 8:12–17 and the incredible gift of adoption into God’s family.

Home Is Where the Spirit Is

Cultivating the Hard but Holy Life

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike unpacks Romans 8:5–8, where Paul draws a clear line between living according to the flesh and living according to the Spirit. Our default setting is the flesh—a mindset driven by self, pride, and sin. But when we belong to Christ, we’re called into a new way of life, governed by the Spirit. Mike reminds us that cultivating this Spirit-filled life takes intentionality and effort. It’s not automatic, and it’s not easy. But the reward is life and peace, whereas the flesh only brings death and hostility toward God. A powerful reminder that spiritual formation requires focus, discipline, and daily surrender.

The Crushing Weight of Goodness

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike dives into Romans 7:7–12 and highlights just how deep our sin really runs. We are so sinful that even God’s law—which is good, righteous, and holy—exposes and stirs up our rebellion. The very standard that reflects everything we want to be actually draws us to violate it. It’s not because the law is bad, but because sin in us is that deceptive, that corrupt, and that strong. This passage reminds us how desperately we need grace—not just for forgiveness, but for transformation.

Accepted by God, Called to More
