EP. 4 - DOES GOD ABANDON US?

There’s a tension in Scripture that’s hard to ignore. In Romans 1, it says that “God gave them over” to their sin. It almost sounds like God gave up on them—like He just walked away. But then you turn the pages to Hebrews 13:5 and read, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” If you’ve ever wondered if God could give up on you, you’re not alone. This is a question that’s haunted many believers who have walked away, fallen short, or wandered into darkness.

In this episode of The Bad Christian Podcast, we dig deep into what it really means when God “gives someone over” and how that lines up with His promise to never abandon His children. We look at the Prodigal Son as a picture of God’s relentless love and His willingness to wait for our return. Even when we choose to walk away, He doesn’t close the door. We explore the powerful contrast between God’s judgment and His mercy, and why His love is bigger than our mistakes.

If you’ve been told you’re too far gone, or if you’ve wondered if God’s patience has run out on you, this episode is for you. God hasn’t given up on you. Don’t give up on Him.
