Ep 311: Three Strikes? You're Forgiven! Understanding the Gospel of Restoration with Micah Davis

In this episode, Shanda sits down with Micah E. Davis, author of Three Strikes, You're Forgiven: Encounter a God Who Wants to Redeem Your Past, Restore Your Present, and Transform Your Future, to explore the life-changing power of forgiveness when failure seems all you know. Micah shares how our culture's "three strikes and you're out" mentality doesn't align with the gospel. Instead, he shows that Christ offers a radical alternative: four acts of forgiveness—giving, receiving, self-forgiveness, and even forgiving God—and invites us into a journey of healing beyond shame. We dive into questions like: How do we stop trying to earn God's favor and simply rest in what He's done? What does it look like to forgive ourselves or the people who hurt us? And how does the gospel invite us into freedom when our past makes us feel disqualified? Whether you're feeling stuck in your mistakes, tired of perfectionism, or longing for a fresh start, this conversation will encourage you to embrace forgiveness, claim your identity in Christ, and live the restored life He intended.
