About this episode

Brandon Puffer discusses the importance of being battle tested in faith and the dangers of believing oneself to be the exception to sin.

"It won't happen to me." That's what Peter believed too — just hours before he denied Jesus three times. In this message, Brandon Puffer unpacks the God-shaped hole inside every one of us and the lie that convinces us we're the exception. Sin will always take you further than you wanted to go and keep you longer than you wanted to stay — but God restores what it costs you. Closing out a weekend men's retreat called Battle Tested, Brandon charges every man to walk out not fixed, but grounded — battle tested in a faith that holds. You are not made for a passive faith. You are made for a mission.
