From Addiction and Shame to Radically Restored with Stephen McWhirter- Episode 1087

Stephen McWhirter is here today and we’re talking about what it looks like to worship even when shame is telling you that you don’t belong in the room. Stephen has a story of radical restoration. He went from hating Jesus, battling addiction, and feeling completely beyond saving to becoming a worship leader,

songwriter, and someone who now gets to tell people all over the world that Jesus is real. He’s also the author of Radically Restored and the songwriter behind a song you probably hear often: “Come Jesus Come.” I think Stephen’s story is going to remind you that worship isn’t something we earn the right to do. It’s a response to the grace we’ve already been given.  Find the show notes here . . . . Order your copy of Don’t Let That Hold You Back wherever you love to buy books! . . . .
