Renewal isn’t just fresh vision or passion—it’s also a painful shedding of sin, pride, and your false self. When life hits—when the diagnosis comes, the relationship ends, the silence of God feels deafening—your theology will show up. Whether you realize it or not, the beliefs you’ve built in the quiet seasons will become the framework you lean on in the storms.

 

In this episode, pastors Whit George and Blake Zimmerman explore shame, guilt, and performance, the beliefs that make us Christians, and personal experiences of renewal through suffering.
