We are elated to have Kurt Francom join us on Saints Unscripted to talk about God's grace. Kurt recently wrote a book called "Is God Disappointed In Me?" Kurt's message is one of navigating the "do more" mentality to feel more of God's love and acceptance instead of focusing on our shortcomings.

0:00 - Intro
1:30 - Discussing the overwhelm of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
3:00 - Changing the overwhelm to a ‘highly redemptive’ faith
4:15 - Why do we feel overwhelm? And can I step away from the overwhelm without stepping away from my faith?
7:00 - God isn’t engaging us through expectation but rather through identity
9:20 - God has laid out this marital relationship as a model of covenant and renewal
11:18 - Kurt shares a story of watching BYU football and how a particular game helped him think about God’s knowledge and Jesus’ grace
13:45 - Does God expect us to keep His commandments?
15:50 - Love is a better motivator than expectation
18:15 - Choosing to love God helps us to live more happily and fully
19:05 - Shame works! But shame is not enduring
21:00 - We can only give what we have to give
23:50 - We often judge our righteousness based on a checklist of tasks and goals. But reframing righteousness will change everything
27:55 - Never give up. God has never been disappointed in you
