BIBLE SCHOOL EDITION — Nathan shoots the breeze with Pastor Scott Frerking about rejection and how it’s a belief that our acceptance (or acceptability) is dependent upon what we do, what we produce, or how we behave. They also discuss how this belief hinders peace of mind and confidence in who God created us to be and what He designed us to do.
