#34 - Confession 101

Why does James tell Christians to “confess your sins to one another”? Why can’t I just confess my sins to God? Who should I confess to? My pastor? Everyone in my Church? Or only my closest Christian friends? What’s the difference between confessing sin, confessing hurt, or confessing that I disagree with authority in my life? What if the other person refuses to forgive me? Am I confessing to be healed? Or to put my hurts front and center for validation? How does confession strengthen marriages, families, and friendships?
