How You Know You’re Saved | S4E11 BEYOND THE LETTER PODCAST

December 22, 2025 · 1 hr 25 min

In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam sits down with Dr. Paul Pitts III for a deeply grounding conversation about salvation, assurance, and the gospel’s steady power in everyday life. Together, they unpack why assurance isn’t ultimately found in emotional highs, personal performance, or constant self-examination—but in the finished work of Jesus: His righteous life, His sacrificial death, and His victory over sin as an eternal covenant for all who believe. They also talk through how God often moves through “ordinary” means—Scripture, prayer, church, repentance, and faithful consistency—when our generation is trained to chase novelty and instant results.They also go straight at two of the most common spiritual questions: “How do I know I’m saved?” and “Why hasn’t anything changed yet?” Dr. Pitts reframes assurance as assurance of the Savior, not obsession over the self—reminding listeners that feelings can follow truth, but they shouldn’t lead it. Adam and Dr. Pitts explore what sanctification actually looks like over time, why Jesus isn’t a quick-fix genie, and how real spiritual growth often happens slowly—but surely—when Christ remains the point. If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, doubtful, or tired of the “what’s next?” mindset, this episode brings you back to the anchor: Jesus is enough, and the gospel still works.--Connect with:Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Dr. Paul Pitts III https://www.instagram.com/paulpitts3/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?
