What if the question “Am I worthy?” isn’t the right question at all?

Inspired by Matthew West’s song “Good,” this episode of More Than a Song takes us back (again!) to the book of Romans—and this time, we lean into the power of repetition. In Romans 5:1–11, we uncover a truth that changes everything: we are not loved because we’re worthy, but because God is good.

In this episode, you’ll:

  • Discover why repetition is a powerful way to interact with Scripture
  • Learn how to Start With God by focusing on His character, conduct, and concerns
  • Explore how hope rooted in God does not lead to shame
  • Be reminded that your standing with God rests on Christ’s work, not your performance

If you’ve ever struggled with measuring your worth—or wondered why grace feels hard to believe—this episode is an invitation to return to Scripture and let God’s goodness wreck you with mercy.
