Welcome to this episode of the Daily Bible Refresh with Dr. Brad Miller, where we dive into Romans 6:1-11 and explore the transformative journey from the old country of sin into a new life of grace. Dr. Miller offers a progressive perspective on baptism, emphasizing liberation, solidarity, and the enduring power of resurrection in daily living. He intertwines personal stories about his family, faith journey, and passion for restorative justice, inviting listeners to embrace actionable steps that cultivate grace, hope, and purposeful community.

Key Takeaways:

1. Baptism is a profound symbol of leaving behind the old ways defined by sin and embracing a new, grace-filled life.
2. Grace, from a progressive faith perspective, means citizenship in a new spiritual “country,” not just temporary participation.
3. True transformation involves renouncing both personal and systemic sins, and championing justice, inclusion, and healing.
4. Resurrection is not just a future hope but an ongoing practice of choosing life, hope, and positive change amid challenges.
5. Practical spirituality requires specific actions—like adopting new habits, practicing kindness, and serving others—which help anchor faith in daily life.
