About this episode
Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson discuss the concept of spiritual imposter syndrome and the difference between religious performance and genuine discipleship.
What if Jesus says “I never knew you” on judgment day—even after a lifetime of ministry? Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson tackle one of Scripture’s most terrifying passages: Matthew 7:21-23, where Jesus warns that some who prophesy and cast out demons in his name will still hear “depart from me.” This honest conversation explores the difference between religious performance and genuine discipleship, why self-righteousness is so dangerous, and what it means to truly know Christ. Discover why spiritual “imposter syndrome” might actually be a healthy sign, how the Sermon on the Mount reveals God’s heart, and why our confidence must rest in “I know a Guy” rather than “look what I did.” If you’ve ever feared you’re not good enough for God—or worried you might be too confident—this episode offers profound clarity and encouragement.
