Why is it so hard to accept grace, even when we believe it’s true? Do you struggle more with believing you're forgiven, or living like you are? Comment down below!

In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, we wrestle with a tension many Christians live in every day: knowing we’re forgiven, yet still carrying guilt and shame. Through Luke 2 and Romans 5, we talk about why grace often feels too free, why we keep trying to pay for what Jesus already finished, and how peace with God can exist even when we don’t feel it. From the shepherds’ invitation to “come and see” to our modern struggle with self-punishment, this conversation explores:

-Why we reject grace even when we believe in it

-How shame distorts our view of God and ourselves

-What it actually means to be justified and at peace with God

-Why joy feels hard when forgiveness feels undeserved

This episode is for anyone who believes in Jesus, but still struggles to believe He really meant them.
