A short sermon-style talk warning pastors against common misconceptions about confession and ongoing struggles. The speaker argues that simply confessing sin and assuming all is resolved can obscure deeper, recurring patterns of failure that require more than a one-time confession.
And then I added to that there's a couple of big lies that keep pastors bound in their struggle. I think one is just maybe a misuse of confession with the whole idea, well, I've confessed, so now I'm good. Never mind that I've got this pattern of failure that indicates all is not well beneath the surface. I've confessed it and I'm good with God. And so therefore we, we get on to the next message, we get on to the next week that's in the past. And I think, you know, because I've confessed it, it's all, it's all good.
