Episode notes
Conviction Restores, Condemnation Destroys
- Conviction from the Holy Spirit moves you toward confession and restoration, not staying stuck in shame.
- Persistent self-loathing is the enemy using knowledge of sin to destroy, not God's convicting work.
Use Scripture To Reclaim Identity
- Use Galatians 2:20 to reframe your identity: you are in Christ and your past is covered.
- When haunted by sin, confess, seek forgiveness, and intentionally live by the new identity and potential in Christ.
Confess Quickly And Move On
- Resist reliving your past; if sin is unresolved, confess it, then stop ruminating.
- Act quickly to apologize and ask for help, then move forward instead of replaying failures.
