I was so touched this week when John Ortberg talked on his <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/becomenew-me-with-john-ortberg/id1554045522?i=1000565940321'>Podcast</a> about us living in a ‘culture of condemnation’—it got me thinking about why so many of us struggle with feelings of insecurity or are so hard on ourselves in general.  I had never thought about how our culture influences us in that way. It was a light bulb moment for me as I process through exploring God’s non-condemning nature towards each of us. There’s hope, you and I are not sentenced to live under the tyranny of condemnation. </p> <p>Quotes of the week: </p> <p>“The hardest thing for people to understand about God is His non-condemning nature.”— Dallas Willard</p> <p>“We live in a culture of condemnation”— John Ortberg</p> <p>“Instead of condemning yourself.
