Guilt is heavy. And it’s easy to believe that if you just feel bad enough, you’ll finally change.

But what if that’s not what God is asking of you?

In this episode, Ellen and Janel unpack the difference between worldly guilt and true, biblical repentance. They share how God meets us with kindness in our worst moments—and how that kindness actually leads to lasting transformation.
