    Stop Building Walls: Let the Gospel Set You Free from Insecurity

    Do you ever feel like you have to prove yourself, keep everything under control, or escape when life gets uncomfortable? Insecurity can drive us to build walls of achievement, perfectionism, control, and avoidance—all in an attempt to feel safe, worthy, and enough. But what if you didn’t have to work so hard to feel secure? In this episode of It’s a Good News Day, Becky Rosty explores how the gospel brings peace to our deepest insecurities. Through Jesus’ love, life, death, and resurrection, we are invited to stop striving for the security we already have in Him. We can return to the kind of trusting relationship with God we were created for—a glimpse of the peace and openness of the Garden of Eden, before fear and shame entered the story. Discover how to: Recognize the walls of control, achievement, and escape you build to protect yourself from insecurity. Find lasting security in Jesus instead of your performance, other people’s approval, or your ability to manage life. Trade striving and self-protection for trust in God’s love and the freedom of the gospel. Step out of hiding and let the light Jesus has given you shine brightly in the world.

Because of Jesus, you can live from a place of security instead of constantly fighting to create it. Your insecurity doesn’t have to build your walls. The gospel invites you to tear them down. 💬 Let’s talk: Where are you most tempted to seek security—in control, achievement, approval, or escape?

    Church Hurt Won’t Win: How the Gospel Restores Your Confidence in Jesus and His Church

    Have you been hurt by a church leader, disappointed by a pastor, or left questioning your place in the church? Church hurt is real, but it doesn’t get the final say. When insecure leaders wound us, it can shake our confidence, distort how we see God, and make it hard to trust the church again. But what if YOU are the insecure leader? Is there hope for ministry and redemption of insecurity? Thankfully, the gospel tells a better story. In this episode of It’s a Good News Day, Becky is joined by her husband, a small town lead pastor, to explore how the good news of Jesus frees us from letting other people’s failures (or our own) define our faith.  We have made enough mistakes to know what God’s grace looks like. Still, you don’t have to let the insecurity, mistakes, or unhealthy leadership of others steal your confidence in Christ or convince you to give up on His church.  Join us to discover how the gospel helps you: Separate Jesus’ character from the failures of church leaders.Replace insecurity and hurt with confidence rooted in what Christ has done for you.Navigate church hurt without allowing bitterness or disappointment to define your future.Walk in repentance for your own insecurity and expectation to control others.Take your next right step with Jesus to find your place in His church again. You can acknowledge the hurt without surrendering your hope. You can repent of control-issues and free your ministry from insecurity. Your faith doesn’t have to end where leadership failed. Because the good news is bigger than bad church experiences—and Jesus is still worth following. 💬 Join the conversation: Have you ever struggled to reconcile your love for Jesus with a painful church experience?
