61 After the Rain

from The French Press · host Emily Downs

Repentance isn’t about shame, it’s about freedom. In this episode, I share how coming into alignment with God brings healing, breaks cycles, and releases the weight we were never meant to carry. When we stay out of alignment through sin, wounds, or even hidden struggles, those things don’t just disappear. They linger, grow, and eventually show up in our relationships, our thoughts, and our behaviors. God invites us into restoration and ultimately relationship with Him. Repentance offers us freedom from bondage. Books Mentioned:Soul Care - Dr. Rob ReimerInstruments in the Redeemer’s Hands - Paul TrippExperiencing Jesus Really - John EldredgeSacred Parenting - Gary ThomasScripture References:2 Samuel 11-12 (David & Bathsheba; repentance)Psalm 51 (David’s repentance prayer)Psalm 32:3-4 (effects of unconfessed sin)Romans 5:6-8 (Christ died for us while we were sinners)Mark 6 (faith, dependence on God)
