In this episode of Trailer Parked Theology, Kristi and Josh continue their Bible study through First Epistle of John, focusing on 1 John 1:8–10 and the powerful theme of confession, sin, and stepping into the light of Christ.

They dive into the real-life struggle of building consistent family prayer, overcoming spiritual burnout, and letting go of rigid expectations that can quietly hold us back in our faith.

Through honest conversation, they unpack what it means to “deceive ourselves,” how small compromises keep us stuck in spiritual darkness, and why confession isn’t about perfection—but about truth, humility, and healing.

This episode offers a practical and relatable look at Christian living, discipleship, and spiritual growth—reminding us that God meets us exactly where we are, not where we think we should be.

Scripture from this Episode

1 John 1:8–10 (NAB)

If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
 If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing.
 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
