Over many past episodes, we've explored what it looks like to use self-protective strategies to avoid facing our sin. But when we continue to mature in our journey with God, there usually comes a point in which we grow tired of how ineffective these methods are. We come face to face with the fact that these attempts to control our reality only bring pain to us personally and to our relationships.

It is here that we can find ourselves ready to encounter God's plan for healing through repentance. While God created this process to be a means of restoring our relationship with him, a misguided theology of repentance can make us fearful of punishment. Join me as I share why true repentance is the key to learning to embrace God's unconditional love and let go of a life of hiding.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why it's so common to associate punishment with repentance
• Why we have to stop giving ourselves permission to sin
• How to reframe repentance to be a process driven by power and beauty without condemnation
• How to understand the role of the Holy Spirit in repentance
• Why repentance will be a life-long learning process
