"Oh God, Why Can't I Stop?" with Jason Ritchie

In this episode, we had the pleasure to sit down with Jason Ritchie, author of Oh God, Why Can't I Stop?

Are you sick and tired of failing? It’s frustrating to fail against the sin of this world. It’s even worse failing against temptation, fear, and faithlessness as a believer in Christ.

You are not alone.

Jason Ritchie never felt so “not right” with God as during his biggest failure. He cried out in distress, “Oh God, why can’t I stop failing? I can’t seem to stop. Though I pray, though I study, though I return to You, I still sin, and I don’t want to.”

In the aftermath, he wondered: “Will You still keep me? Will You still love me? Will You still use me?”

What does God say to these questions?

Oh God, Why Can’t I Stop? examines God’s fundamental response to failure through the story of Peter’s denial of Christ. It explores the Apostle Paul’s lament in Romans 7:19: “For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.”
