Summary

You may be repenting for things God never called sin—and it’s crippling your sanctification. Discover how a weak or misinformed conscience can trap you in unnecessary shame, fear of man, and spiritual paralysis. Learn how Scripture retrains your conscience so embarrassment becomes fuel for holiness, not bondage. Transformed Podcast Episode 165 | March 05, 2026 ___ Thanks for listening!
