In this episode of 'Step into Scripture,' hosted by Tina, the author of 'Step into Scripture,' and Matt Wilson, a pastor, the couple delve into the Act of Confession in their series aligned with a chronological Bible reading plan. Covering 2 Samuel 11 through 21, 1 Chronicles 20, and various Psalms, they explore the duplication of narratives in Samuel and Chronicles and the unique focus of each book.

The hosts draw lessons from David's sin with Bathsheba and Uriah, emphasizing the spiritual discipline of confession. They distinguish between Catholic and Protestant practices of confession, outlining the importance of confessing directly to God. The episode further discusses the examples of David and Saul in dealing with sin, the snowball effect of unconfessed sin, and the importance of private, communal, and public confession, encouraging viewers to embrace confession for spiritual healing and restoration.
