#146 - The Lie Christians Believe That Keeps Us Stuck (and Making Excuses)
In this first episode of Adventures in Grace on EXCUSES, we expose the lie many Christians believe — that God’s acceptance is something we must earn. Too often, performance-based Christianity and the orphan mindset keep us stuck in excuses, shame, and striving. But the Bible says in Ephesians 1, Romans 8, and John 8 that God’s love and adoption were His plan from the beginning, and the truth sets us free. Discover how to stop making excuses, embrace your identity in Christ, and live from God’s unconditional love and grace.
