Born This Way? Then Be Born Again: The Simplicity and Struggle of New Birth

In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Bruin addresses the tension between cultural identity and biblical truth. The popular phrase "I was born this way" often seeks to end discussion—but the gospel begins there. Jesus said, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). That is not a rebuttal. That is an invitation.

Tony unpacks why the new birth is simple in design but costly in commitment. Many reject it not because it's unclear, but because it demands surrender. The Christian walk is not easy, but it is clear. The path is narrow. The gate is strait. And yet, the way is open to any who will enter.

Highlights include:

Refuting the finality of “I was born this way” with scriptural clarity
Explaining the difference between simple and easy when it comes to repentance and faith
Encouraging Christians to stop over-complicating the gospel in the name of cultural sensitivity
