This is the second part of our conversation about confession…if you didn’t get to listen to our episode last week with Pastor Aaron Graham, go back and listen to that as well. Last week, we talked about what it looks like to confess to God and today we’re going to talk about what it looks like to confess to others, and Pastor Matt Chandler reminds us of the way confession and repentance is a gift—an invitation to deeper intimacy with God and others.

When we planned these two episodes about confession, we didn’t realize both pastors would mention 1 John.

I love when that happens.
