Laying Aside Every Weight | The Well Podcast S1E23

In this episode of The Well podcast, Pastor Phil, Pastor Chad, and Bart Cox continue their conversation about running with endurance. They talk about the idea of “laying aside every weight” that the author presents in Hebrews 12:1. You cannot run with endurance if you’re not working to endure things. You have to train to prepare. Part of that training included taking any unnecessary weight out of your pack. We all carry backpacks through life, but we choose what we carry. We need to choose carefully what we carry in our pack. God doesn’t want us to be weighed down by needless weights like bitterness, pride, resentment, or unforgiveness. If you don’t lay that sin or weight down, Jesus will chasten you until you do. How to lay down your weight: -Confession -Forgiveness -Repentance Confession, forgiveness, and repentance are not emotions. They are decisions you put in motion. When God convicts you to lay aside every weight through one of these decisions, you must remember that He chastens you out of love. God takes no joy in His children's pain, but He’s willing to subject us to pain for our gain. God loves us so deeply and unconditionally that He will chasten and discipline us to bring us back to Him. It’s important to learn and realize the value of God’s discipline in our lives. Confess, renounce, and lay aside every weight so you can run with endurance.
