Not everyone who behaves well is born again. In this episode, Rohan Bell and Adrian Gallagher unpack the iconic encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus, exploring the tension between moral upbringing and spiritual rebirth. They discuss how to communicate the Gospel in a way that confronts sin without alienating the listener — and why being 'good' isn't good enough.

✅ The powerful symbolism behind Nicodemus visiting Jesus at night

✅ Why Jesus' message of being “born again” was so confronting

✅ How to share the Gospel without sounding judgmental

✅ The challenge of second- and third-generation faith

✅ Why salvation must lead to transformation and service
