Ep. 149 - The Kindness of God in Guilt & Conviction - Matt King

What do we do with guilt? Is conviction something to fear—or could it actually be one of the ways God lovingly draws us back to Himself?

In part two of this conversation with Pastor Matt King, we talk honestly about sin, confession, repentance, and the difference between shame and guilt. We unpack why guilt, when understood rightly, isn’t meant to crush us, but can be a gift of God’s kindness that leads us back into relationship with Him.

We also explore what it means when we don’t feel convicted, the importance of confession in the Christian life, “gospel gaps” between what we believe and how we live, and how the Church is meant to walk with one another through sin with both truth and grace.
