Send us Fan Mail We’d love to hear from you: email us at ListenToShoesOff@gmail.com Have you ever felt like you’ll never measure up spiritually — like your failures define you?  In Romans 7, Paul wrestled with that same tension: “The good I want to do, I don’t do.”   But as we turn the page to Romans 8, Paul opens with one of the most freeing truths in all of Scripture: “There is therefore now no...
