How To Forgive Yourself | Phil Robertson

How do you stand in front of people to share the gospel when your own past mistakes are still weighing you down? A 20-year-old youth ministry student from Florida writes in with a struggle that plagues millions of believers: the battle with self-forgiveness and the fear of being a hypocrite. The guys tackle this head-on by walking through the exact practical steps of identity transformation found in scripture. They dive into Ephesians 4 to explain why your old self belongs in the rearview mirror and how to use a "spiritual knife" to sever your history from your current calling. Then, they dive into 2 Corinthians 5—proving that if a former religious terrorist like the Apostle Paul could be trusted to write the New Testament, God can certainly use your broken pieces to reconcile others to Himself.
