In this episode of Out Loud, Renewed, we sit with the thought, “It’s too late for me. I’ve wasted too much time chasing my flesh to really live the life God has for me.” Through honest reflection, Scripture, and a sacred pause, we confront the lie that our past has disqualified us and remember that God restores the years the locust has eaten, gives fresh mercies every morning, and offers no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. This episode is a gentle invitation to release shame, renew your mind, and trust that it is never too late for God to redeem what was surrendered to Him.

In this episode of Out Loud, Renewed, I get honest about the intrusive thought, “If I really follow Jesus, my life will just be suffering—and somehow that means God isn’t good to me.” We sit with the tension between hardship and faith, look at what Scripture actually says about trouble, and remember that suffering is not a sign of God’s absence, but often the place where His presence, purpose, and glory become most real.

In this episode of Out Loud, Renewed, I talk honestly about the intrusive thought, “Waiting on the Lord is not getting you anywhere,” and bring it before God with scripture and grace. Rooted in Psalm 27:14 and Isaiah 40:31, this episode reminds listeners that waiting is not wasted and that God is using the process to strengthen our hearts and renew our strength.
