Join Jim and Marc Davis in this thought-provoking episode as they challenge the common belief that God is disappointed in us. Through personal narratives, they explore how both life's big and little moments shape our self-perception and idea of God's opinion. Discover how God's unwavering love enables us to embrace our weaknesses and strengths, repent, find freedom from shame, and regain confidence to walk in His love.

• The desire to please the Lord and its connection to love [12:05]
