Ep. 57: How to Rebuild Your Faith When It’s Been Shaken

Imagine you could stop working on your life, and step into a life that was already yours. We’re talking about how to rebuild your faith if your faith has been rocked. What do you think of this statement?

In this episode, Scott, Bill, and Waldemar explore how to rebuild faith when it has been shaken by life’s challenges. They discuss the concept of rebuilding faith by shifting from a performance-based lifestyle to stepping into the life and identity God has already provided. They also talk about the dangers of "sin management theology,” which traps us in a cycle of shame and self-effort. Remember that circumstances don’t define you… God does. Let Him transform your person.
