Confession and Repentance Bring Up Negative Emotions? Here’s What I Learned…
Have you ever been more afraid to confess something to God than you were to actually repent of it?
Do you avoid bringing your sin to Him because some part of you still believes He’ll respond with anger, disappointment, or a forgiveness that eventually runs out?
What if confession was never about facing His disappointment, but about something you’ve been missing this whole time?
Listen to Episode 78 Scared to Confess and Repent to God? These Healing Scriptures Will Free You (Bible Study)
In this episode, Ash unpacks what the Bible actually teaches about confession and repentance, and how different it is from the transactional, fear-based version she grew up praying. She shares the moment she had to confess her own walk away from God, sobbing on her bedroom floor and bracing for judgment, and what she felt instead. Using the story of Lilo and Stitch, she breaks down the difference between the God who only sees your “red” and the God of Scripture who keeps working with you anyway. She also walks through why Jesus becoming the final sacrifice changes what confession and repentance actually cost you now.
If you’ve been putting off a confession because you’re convinced God is tired of you, or you’ve wondered whether He could really forgive the same sin twice, this episode is for you.
