About this episode

This episode discusses how setbacks are events and not a reflection of one's identity, emphasizing faith and personal responsibility.

Series: It’s Not Too Late (Week 1 of 4) Core Message: A setback is an event, not your identity. Key scriptures: Proverbs 24:16, Romans 8:1, Psalm 34:18. Truth to remember: Jesus is near, and there is no condemnation in Christ. Science in plain language: Shame spirals push extreme thoughts; a faithful next step retrains the nervous system. Practice (7 min): 2-Sentence Reset + write one “next right step.” Carry this line: “I can be responsible without being ruined.” Takeaway: God does not condemn me and is not done with me yet!
