Rooted: 30 Days to Strengthen Your Faith Through StruggleSample

WEEK 4: Bearing Fruit in Every Season
Focus: Living as a rooted child of God—steady, fruitful, and resilient in every season.
Day 25: Living Free from Condemnation
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36
Condemnation is sneaky. It dresses itself up as righteous accusation - but it is really just the enemy trying to shame us and stop us from living the life Jesus died for. A free life.
There’s a difference between conviction and condemnation. Conviction calls you closer to God. It speaks truth in grace and is always delivered with the love of our Father.
Condemnation drives you away from Him. It tries to bring you into isolation and despair.
And Jesus didn’t die so you could stay bound by sin and shame.
As we come before God with repentant hearts, He forgives us and washes us clean. The holes in Jesus' hands and feet are evidence of the ransom paid for our lives.
You are not defined by your worst moment. You are not bound by the things you regret. You are not the labels others have put on you - or the ones you’ve put on yourself.
If Jesus has set you free, you are free. Period.
Free to walk in grace. Free to grow. Free to get back up. Free to live boldly for Him.
Grace is not a license to sin freely, but it is the covering when our flesh acts in its sin nature while we pursue holy living in Christ.
Don’t let the voice of condemnation steal your purpose. You’ve been made new - and your freedom was bought with blood.
Reflection Questions:
- What accusation plays on repeat in your mind?
- How can you walk in freedom today?
- What would it look like to fully receive God’s grace?

About this Plan

We often view struggle as a bad thing to be avoided. Who wants pain, right? But what if it's in the struggle that God does some of his best refining work? What if it's in the struggle we are strengthened for the journey ahead? Jesus told us we would have trials - but we can take heart because we never walk the valley's alone. Join me for 30 days as we travel through scripture and strengthen our faith together in the face of struggle.
