Is God Disappointed in Me?

You've made a mistake. Now what? As humans, we often resign ourselves to living in guilt or shame because we assume that God is disappointed in us.

Let Kurt Francom help you realize that God has never been disappointed in you. He has always been cheering you on, like any loving father does.

Romans 1–6

In this episode we'll talk about Romans 1-6. This is the first of the New Testament epistles, or letters, written by leaders of the church to local church members. Paul writes many of these letters and they comprise most of the remaining books in the New Testament. One of the themes in this week’s reading is that of hope. When people have anxiety and depression, hope can be very difficult to come by. But Paul teaches how hope is possible even in the most desperate of circumstances. He provides a specific recipe that we can follow to increase hope and decrease despair.
