Ellie Holcomb on Wrestling with God

“Jesus doesn’t step back from your brokenness - He leans in.” Ever feel like you’re trying really hard to be a good Christian… and still wondering if you’re enough? On this episode of Rewrite, Jonathan sits down with Ellie Holcomb for a really honest conversation about faith, heartbreak, motherhood, and the moments when following Jesus feels both beautiful and hard. Ellie talks about meeting Jesus as a little girl, growing up loving God, and then realizing she’d slowly started believing she had to perform for His love. Through heartbreak, grief, and seasons where her faith felt dry, Jesus kept meeting her in the same place; not where she had it all together, but where she was honest. If you’ve ever felt tired, discouraged, or unsure where you stand with God, this conversation is a reminder that before you ever did anything right or wrong, you were already His beloved. 1. You don’t have to perform for Jesus.He loves you in your honesty, not your perfection. 2. Jesus moves toward the broken places.He meets us in grief, doubt, exhaustion, and even spiritual dryness. 3. Your truest identity is beloved.Before titles. Before relationships. Before success or failure — you are His.
