When Guilt and Shame Keep You Away From God, Do This!

I’ve been there. I grew up in the church, sang in the choir, and knew all the verses, but my heart was miles away. For a long time, I lived a double life, feeling the weight of guilt and shame every time I stepped through those church doors. If you feel like you’ve drifted too far or that your past is a barrier between you and God, I want to share the invitation that changed everything for me. Join me, as I talk about how to stop hiding and start drawing near to the One who never moved in the first place.
