Episode Synopsis

“And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.” — Matthew 18:13–14Men fall. We drift. We wander. But what often keeps us from coming back isn’t the fall itself—it’s the shame that follows. The enemy whispers that we’ve gone too far, that we’re no longer worthy, that God’s done with us. But Jesus tells a different story.This passage reveals a Shepherd who doesn’t stop pursuing His sheep. He notices when we’re missing, searches relentlessly, and celebrates when we’re found. God doesn’t just tolerate your return—He rejoices over it. No matter how far you’ve gone, He still pursues you.🔥 In this episode:How shame keeps men trapped after failureThe truth about God’s pursuit and restorationBreaking the lie of disqualificationWhy the warrior spirit means getting back up again💭 Reflection Question: What lie from the enemy have you been believing that’s kept you from returning to God with boldness and trust?⚔️ Daily Challenge: Take 10 minutes today in total silence—no music, no distractions.
