Backsliding in the Faith
Girls Gone Bible
September 13, 2024 · 1 hr 14 min
Summary
Angela and Ari explore backsliding in faith through Genesis 32's account of Jacob wrestling with God, emphasizing that losing one's first love—intimacy with Jesus—leads to spiritual decline. They share personal stories of falling away and returning, arguing that community, prayer, God's Word, and remembering Jesus's love are essential to maintaining faith and preventing relapse into sin.
Highlights
When you're in a moment of failure, don't let it completely derail you. Get back up and go towards Jesus. Repentance closes that gap.
If you're running towards Jesus, there's no way you can go backwards. If you're going to backslide, it's because you're not going forward.
You can do so much for the kingdom, but what is it for when you don't know the king? He is all that matters.
