Summary

Pastor Matt Chandler is here today for the second part of our conversation about confession. Last week, we talked about what it looks like to confess to God and today we talk about what it looks like to confess to others. Matt reminds us the way confession and repentance is a gift—an invitation to deeper intimacy with God and others. If you missed it last week, we have a confession practice guide available for all of our paid substack subscribers over on spirituallystronger.com!We’ve been so moved by the emails and letters y’all have sent in with your confessions. Thank you for trusting us with that. If you need a place just to say the hard thing…to practice before you say it to your people…we’re happy to be that place. Feel free to email us at tellmemore@anniefdowns.com Find the show notes here . . . . My brand new TV show premieres THIS WEEK on the Wonder Project channel on Prime Video. The first 2 episodes of season 1 of I Gotta Ask air this Thursday, May 28th. There’s a 7 day free trial for you, so you can watch both episodes totally free. In every episode, I sit down with a group of friends, some experts in their fields, some thought leaders, and some just my real life people—you’re going to get to hear from Shawn Johnson East & Andrew East, Melinda Doolittle, Jon Acuff, Trillia Newbell, celebrity matchmakers, and so many more.
