When God Steps Back

What happens when God doesn’t step in—but instead steps back?

Romans 1 paints a sobering picture of a culture that didn’t suddenly collapse overnight, but slowly drifted by pushing truth aside and choosing its own way. In this message, we wrestle with one of the most uncomfortable realities in Scripture: sometimes God’s judgment isn’t fire from heaven—it’s permission. Permission to chase what we want, believe what feels right, and live without restraint.

This episode isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about holding up a mirror.

We’ll talk honestly about what it looks like when truth is suppressed, conscience grows quiet, and God “gives them over”—not because He stopped loving, but because He honors human choice. And in the middle of a heavy passage, we’ll also find hope: God’s patience, His warnings, and His relentless call to repentance before the consequences become permanent.

If you’ve ever wondered why our world feels upside down, why sin is celebrated, or why God seems silent at times—this message is for you.

Listen with an open heart. Let the Word speak. And don’t miss the hope still offered before God steps back completely.
