There’s a voice in your head that never stops talking.

But not every voice deserves to be trusted.

In this episode, John Ortberg explores the difference between self-condemnation and conviction. Drawing on insights from Ignatius of Loyola, Marshall Rosenberg, and Michael Singer, John shows how comparison and inner criticism can spiral into despair.

But the voice of God works differently.

Self-condemnation attacks your identity.Conviction speaks to your actions.

Self-condemnation leads to hiding.Conviction leads to hope and change.

Learning to recognize the difference may be one of the most important spiritual skills you ever develop.

Because the voice you listen to insideis usually the voice you use with others.

There is now… therefore… no condemnation.
