When God Captures Your Heart: A Life of Confession

Listen

What does it look like when God truly captures your heart? In this episode, we dive into one of the most powerful yet often overlooked spiritual practices: confession. Rooted in Scripture, confession is not about guilt trips or shame—it’s about freedom, healing, and transformation. It’s also one of the ways we can be confident God has captured our hearts.

We begin in Proverbs 28:13, where we see that hiding sin stunts growth, but honest confession leads to mercy. We break down key terms like “conceal,” “confess,” and “renounce,” and explore how confession opens us to God’s tender mercy and compassion.

Then, we shift to the importance of confession in community, as found in James 5:16. Confession isn’t just vertical—it’s horizontal too. We talk about how God uses community, not for judgment, but for healing and restoration, referencing Galatians 6:1.

Finally, we unpack the truth about sin from 1 John 1:8-10. Denying our sin cuts us off from the truth, but confession reveals God’s faithfulness, righteousness, and power to forgive and cleanse.
