For many, we’ve held a conception of God who was keeping score. And sin was the thing that moved the needle in the wrong direction — putting distance between you and “Him”, triggering something we can only describe as divine disappointment. Maybe anger.

And here's the thing — that picture does something to you. It makes the spiritual life feel like walking on eggshells. It turns faith into performance. It makes failure feel fatal.

But what if that picture isn't accurate? What if the real problem isn't your sin - it's the conception of God underneath it all?

The Bible holds more than one conception of God and of sin. More than the ones we inherited. More than the ones most of us quietly absorbed growing up. And when you start to see those other pictures — the ones people of faith across centuries have actually lived from and been transformed by — something starts to loosen. The fear begins to lift.

That's what this series is about. Freedom From The Fear of Sin.

Bring someone who needs to hear this. Honestly, that might be you.

See you at the Spiritual Gym.
