Practice Makes Followers: Confession - Jeremiah Nealon

“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:8,9) Maybe you grew up reciting these words, but what does it mean to confess? Is confession a private conversation between us and God? Should trusted others be involved? And isn’t that…awkward?
