Janet Aucoin and her son Josh discuss scrupulosity and its impact on one's relationship with Christ.
What if an intense focus on sin is actually keeping you from Christ rather than drawing you closer to him? In this episode, Janet Aucoin welcomes her son Josh, worship pastor at Faith Church, for a thoughtful conversation about scrupulosity, the tendency to become so fixated on sin that it leads to paralysis instead of peace. Together, they explore the biblical roots of self-righteous moral anxiety and point to the gospel’s invitation to trade performance-driven fear for the true freedom found in Christ.
