About this episode
Chris and Kory discuss the deeper implications of failure and mercy in the spiritual life, sparked by a humorous incident at a sushi restaurant.
A simple lunch outing turns into an unforgettable moment when Chris takes a hard fall—literally—walking into a sushi restaurant. What starts as a hilarious (and slightly embarrassing) story quickly opens into something deeper: the reality of falling in the spiritual life. In this episode, the guysy reflect on failure, sin, and the mercy of God. Why is it so easy to stay on our feet physically, but so hard spiritually? And what does it mean to get back up—again and again? If you’ve ever felt like you’ve fallen too far, this episode is for you.
