If you are someone who had a colorful past and has been told that you are disqualified from ministry and feel discounted by the church, this episode is for you. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us that our old self is dead and gone as we step into a new identity in Christ, so pick your head up, ignore the noise, and focus on the cross. Critics cannot disqualify you from what God has called you to. Take every thought captive as you walk in your purpose and trust that God’s plans will never lack His provision. 

Part of spiritual formation is developing both biblical understanding and a definitive level of self-awareness. As someone who has a high-achiever personality, I believed the gateway to acceptance was earned through achievement and aesthetics. If you were (or are) like me and have wrestled with self-worth and pride — which can only be overcome through dying to yourself and becoming more humble — this episode is for you. 

I hope that you enjoy this honest, open, transparent conversation about my journey as I grow in my relationship with Jesus.

In this episode, we talk about everything from young adults with big platforms on social media, how to talk about difficult things in love, friendship, and the difficulty of navigating the journey of being in ministry with an imperfect past.

Shane Robb is an author, speaker, and founder of MicroMessage, which labels itself as having a small message with a big impact. In this episode, we discuss Christian ethics and integrity. The discussion revolves around Christ-centric leadership in our careers and homes as parents, husbands, and wives.
