Episode notes

Unlike many new Christians, Mikayla continues to unpack what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Are questions permissible? Is it ok to struggle? Is struggle all that we do? Is faith just a confession? Is an experience a requirement?

I fear that her questions are far too common, but rarely asked, The effect is many people are left wondering if their sins are actually forgiven.

Maybe you find yourself in a similar condition. We don't pretend to know all the answers, but hopefully we can simplify the process of understanding,

God became accessible to Jacob prior to His match. That is why Jesus brought him to the mat. He showed Jacob how closely he could connect to Him and the benefit that would result from his perseverance, not his performance.
