If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you from being used by God, this message is for you. In this episode, I share my personal testimony—how I grew up in church, served in full-time ministry, and still believed I wasn’t good enough for God to use. I was stuck in cycles of shame, lust, and fear… until I realized the truth hidden in Matthew 1.
The genealogy of Jesus isn’t just a list of names—it’s a list of broken people redeemed by God. From liars and prostitutes to adulterers and murderers, Jesus came from a messy lineage to show us that His redemption isn’t based on our perfection.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why Matthew 1 is one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible
• How shame and fear keep us from receiving God’s grace
• What the genealogy of Jesus reveals about your purpose
• How to stop performing for God and start walking in freedom
