What does repentance actually mean—and why does it matter so much in our faith journey?

In this episode, Erin and Ramonita sit down together to explore repentance in relation to sin, shame, and the deep kindness of God. Through honest conversation, personal stories, and Scripture, they unpack how repentance is often misunderstood—and how God uses it not to punish us, but to restore us.

They discuss how shame keeps us hiding, why awareness of sin is the first step toward freedom, and how confession can become a doorway to healing. Anchored in the story of the Prodigal Son, this episode reframes repentance as an invitation back into relationship with a God whose love is unconditional.

This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, distant from God, or unsure how to move forward spiritually—and is longing for freedom.

Key Takeaways:

* Repentance is not about punishment, but about turning back to God and being restored to relationship with Him.

* Shame keeps us hiding, but God’s kindness is what invites us back into the light.

* Awareness of sin is the first step toward freedom, not condemnation.

* Confession opens the door to healing by breaking our agreements with sin and shame.

* True repentance includes receiving God’s forgiveness and learning to forgive ourselves.
