185. Regret Meets Redemption, Part Two: Conviction or Condemnation? A Mom’s Guide to Discernment


Listen Later

Perhaps you’ve felt the heavy weight of regret—those “would’ve, could’ve, should’ve” moments that whisper lies and leave you feeling responsible for things you could never control. In this episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, Lori unpacks the crucial difference between conviction from the Holy Spirit and condemnation from the enemy. Understanding this distinction changes everything.

Conviction leads us to restoration, hope, and freedom in Christ. Condemnation leaves us in shame, despair, and fear. The good news? God is our Redeemer. He restores, rescues, and makes all things new.

  • Understanding the difference between conviction and condemnation, and why it matters for healing.

  • Recognizing conviction as the kindness of God that leads to repentance, freedom, and life.

  • Identifying condemnation as the enemy’s voice that accuses without hope and keeps us stuck in guilt.

  • Remembering God’s sovereignty over life and death which brings peace in the midst of regret.
