About this listen

From the series on Freedom: Stop Betting On Blame is a powerful, personal, and practical message from Pastor Jarod Smith, digging deep into Genesis 3 and the first moment blame ever entered the human experience. With humor, vulnerability, and biblical insight, Pastor Jarod shares a real-life story from his early marriage—and connects it to Adam’s response in the garden: “The woman YOU gave me…” Instead of owning his part, Adam deflected blame to Eve—and even to God. This message explores what happens when we gamble with blame: * Why our default is to find fault upward (with God) when pain comes sideways (from others) * How blame leads to bondage, but confession leads to freedom (Proverbs 28:13) * How Jesus not only empathizes with our pain but empowers us to walk in victory * What it means to identify the real enemy—and stop letting lies shape our identity 🎯 You’ll learn a biblical acronym—CRAI—to help you break the cycle: Confess, Renounce, Approach, Identify If you’ve ever struggled with shame, resentment, spiritual confusion, or the temptation to blame God for your past—this message is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more content on faith, freedom, and following Jesus. 📖 Scripture references include Genesis 3:12, Proverbs 28:13, Mark 2:17, Hebrews 4:14–16, Romans 16:20, and more. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch
