FREED | Rejection - Sam Gibson

Pastor Sam Gibson teaches from Romans 8 that rejection is inevitable for Christians, but God uses it to form us.

He contrasts the imposter/orphan self (performance, people-pleasing, needing recognition) with the beloved/adopted self (secure, free to risk, rooted in the Father's love) and issues practical invitations to receive healing and be reborn into that reality.
