About this episode

The episode discusses the struggles of feeling like a fraud or failure in the Christian life and the reassurance found in Romans.

If you’re tempted to think of the Christian life as defined only by moments of triumph then chances are good you feel out of place at church and wonder if you really belong. When you stumble and fall, you may even question whether you're a fraud or a failure. But there's a reason that the Holy Spirit led the apostle to record these words in Romans for you and me to hear.
