Jennifer Brogdon joins me for a candid discussion about viewing perfectionism in light of the gospel. We discuss why it’s so vital that we look at perfectionism from a biblical perspective and define grace according to God’s terms and not our own. We also talk about shame, and how perfectionism impacts our relationships and the way we confess sin with one another. Jennifer also explains how repentance and abiding in Christ is the solution for when we’re discouraged about our sin or our lack of fruit.

Like Our Father - with Christina Fox

In this devotional episode, Bethany discusses how God's comfort for us is sufficient because His word and promises are sufficient. In the midst of any and all suffering, we can know that not only does Christ share his comfort with us (2 Corinthians 1:3-11), we serve the God who resurrects!  Support the show

God's Comfort For Us

By God's grace, we're back with another season to share with you! Today's episode is a conversation with author and blogger Tim Challies on "The Means of Grace". God initiates and establishes a relationship with His people but how does he maintain the relationship and nourish it? And what ought our responses and responsibilities be in view of God’s initiation and care for this relationship? What are some different views of the means of grace and some common misunderstandings about this topic? Bethany talks with Tim about these topics, and he tells us about his newest book, Knowing and Enjoying God.
