Host: Jonathan Sheppard
Special Guest: Callie Sheppard
In this deeply vulnerable episode of The Average Pursuit, my wife Callie joins me to talk about a season in our life when we felt like we had failed as parents. She opens up about the shame she carried and the moment she thought it was too late for restoration.
Together, we walk through how God met us in the middle of that brokenness and brought hope, healing, and a fresh start. If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes define you or that you’ve failed one too many times, this conversation is for you.
You’ll hear:
What shame can do to your heart when you feel you’ve failed
How God’s grace restores and recommissions us, even in our lowest moments
Practical ways to take your next step toward healing and restoration
Encouragement straight from Scripture (John 21, Romans 8:1, Psalm 34:18)
Key takeaway: Your failure is not the final word. Jesus is.
