Episode notes
God Sees The Whole Story
- God takes your entire story into account rather than defining you by a single failure.
- Andy Stanley argues Jesus modeled this full-story view of people, so God doesn't write you off for one chapter.
Don't Project Self-Judgment Onto God
- People often size others up by one chapter and write them off, and we do the same to ourselves.
- Stanley highlights that projecting our self-judgment onto God is common but inaccurate.
Accept God's Estimation
- Accept God's full-story estimation of you instead of defining yourself by a failure.
- Stanley says embracing God's view makes it easier to extend grace to others.
