About this listen
Conviction and repentance are often used interchangeably—but they are not the same thing, and confusing them can lead to shame, striving, and spiritual exhaustion.
In this episode, we explore how conviction is initiated by the Holy Spirit, not by self-condemnation or willpower. Conviction brings awareness, light, and truth without shame. Repentance, on the other hand, is our response: a turning, a realignment, a choice to move toward God rather than cling to what we were previously walking in.
We unpack the biblical meaning of repentance (metanoia), how it differs from behavior modification, and why repentance is meant to be experienced as freedom—not punishment. From Scripture to deeply personal stories, this conversation reframes repentance as an invitation into clarity, dependence, and transformation rather than fear or performance.
If repentance has ever felt heavy, confusing, or transactional, this episode offers a clearer, more life-giving way forward.
