"Oh God Why Can't I Stop?" with Jason Ritchie

In this episode, we had the pleasure to sit down with Jason Ritchie, author of Oh God, Why Can't I Stop?

Are you sick and tired of failing? It’s frustrating to fail against the sin of this world. It’s even worse failing against temptation, fear, and faithlessness as a believer in Christ.

You are not alone.

Jason Ritchie never felt so “not right” with God as during his biggest failure. He cried out in distress, “Oh God, why can’t I stop failing? I can’t seem to stop. Though I pray, though I study, though I return to You, I still sin, and I don’t want to.”

In the aftermath, he wondered: “Will You still keep me? Will You still love me? Will You still use me?”

What does God say to these questions?

Oh God, Why Can’t I Stop? examines God’s fundamental response to failure through the story of Peter’s denial of Christ. It explores the Apostle Paul’s lament in Romans 7:19: “For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.”

Love and Marriage...and In-Laws

One of our listeners sent us a message about some challenges he is facing with his relationship with his in-laws. The guys dive into the topic under the premise of first going to God, and second, realizing the importance of setting up healthy boundaries. When it has to do with protecting the marriage relationship, sometimes we need to take more direct action. Other times, we need to have some open and honest conversations and pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of those in our lives. Listen in as Dave and Dante discuss this topic...and let us know if there's more that we could cover!
