Do your weaknesses and mistakes make you feel unworthy of walking the Christian path? Well, you're not alone. This episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast addresses the common misconception that our emotions and mistakes disqualify us from living a faith-filled life. Instead, we turn to God's Word to understand the real qualifiers and disqualifiers for living as Christians. We dive into biblical stories, like David and Saul, that serve as a potent reminder that living a life aligned with God's will is the ultimate qualifier into His kingdom.
