In this episode of the Salty Pastor podcast, Pastor Doug dives into the difficult subject of failure—how it shapes us, how it can derail us, and how it often causes us to forget who we are in Christ. He unpacks the subtle but powerful ways our identity can shift when we define ourselves by our mistakes instead of God’s truth. Whether you're carrying shame, disappointment, or just feeling lost, this conversation offers a clear reminder: failure does not get the final word. Jesus does.
