Hey Friend!

Today’s topic was inspired by a phone call from a retreat coordinator who wanted me to speak on confession, of all things–confession! I nearly dropped the phone when I heard her request. I knew a message on confession would either provide the backdrop of a mighty move of God or be the most awkward moment of my speaking career.

Confession is probably one of the most misunderstood spiritual habits among Christians and, simultaneously, one of the most critical spiritual habits we can cultivate. Confession can set us free and help us grow in areas we’ve been stuck in for years. Honestly, I’ve come to love it. After today’s episode, I think you will, too.

xo,

Donna
