Imagine living with the assurance that you’re forgiven once and for all, not little by little. Believing this truth sets you free from the burden of guilt and shame, allowing you to experience the fullness of God’s grace and love.

I also reveal the true meaning of 1 John 1:9 and invite you to consider how total forgiveness can impact your anticipation of Christ’s return. This is one of our best, most important messages ever. I encourage you to take some time to soak it in, knowing you’ll find healing, freedom, and a deeper understanding of God’s incredible love for you!
