If you carry shame from your past, this episode is for you. If you have been hurt by a man, by a parent, or by your very own child, this episode is for you. If you think you need a do-over, this episode is for you. This is Part Two of my conversation with Joby Martin—Pastor of The Church of Eleven22 (my church!) and author of the new book Run Over by The Grace Train. If you haven’t listened to Part One yet, do that first, and then meet me back here. :)
We discuss
How Jesus’ interaction with women demonstrates the grace of God and dignifies women
Why Jesus can never be dissatisfied with you
How Jesus can see all of you and still love you fully
Why don’t we need a do-over or a second chance (and what we need instead)
A little parenting/marriage tip we snuck into the interview
Our scars do not define us
Just because something’s not your fault doesn’t mean it’s not your responsibility.
A preview of Joby’s teaching on forgiveness (if you only get the book for THIS chapter, then it’s worth it)
What it means when God says He no longer remembers our sin (and what that means for us)
Joby’s pastoral encouragement to overwhelmed moms
