    Let out the Viking, but keep him on the chain… In this episode, Gillespie and Riley dive into Forde’s use of the analogy of addiction to explain original sin, passive righteousness, Jesus as Giver and gift, and Riley lets out the Viking (a little bit) to address “cheap grace.” Also, so many pop culture references you may get dizzy. Warning - This episode contains strong language directed at Satan.
