Episode notes
Go To Confession Without Delay
- Go to confession immediately when you fall into sin and do not let discouragement keep you away.
- Trust that the sacrament restores, renews, and heals you because Jesus gave the Church this gift.
Discouragement Is The Enemy's Last Weapon
- The devil's main remaining weapon is discouragement after repeated failure.
- Recognize discouragement as the enemy's tactic so you can respond with humility and hope.
Answer Weakness With Humility And Hope
- Respond to sin with humility about your weakness and with hope in Christ rather than confidence in yourself.
- Hope in Jesus' power, not in your future perfection, and let that hope drive you to confession.
