“How do you know if your repentance is genuine? In this episode, Jonny sits down with pastor and hymn writer Matt Boswell to walk through Psalm 51, David’s prayer of confession after his sin with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah.

You’ll learn:

• The four movements of Psalm 51: repentance, inner restoration, renewal, and response
• Why David appeals to God’s mercy, not his own résumé
• Why “against you, you only have I sinned” is the key to true brokenness
• The difference between godly sorrow and beating yourself up
• What it means to ask God to “create” a clean heart (the same word used in Genesis 1)
• How to move through repentance into restored joy, not stay stuck in shame
• Why God uses broken people after they repent

If you’re struggling with guilt, hidden sin, or doubt that God has really forgiven you, this conversation points you back to the mercy of Christ.

Featuring Matt Boswell, pastor of Trails Church, hymn writer, and professor at Midwestern Seminary.

• How the Sabbath pointed forward to Christ, and why it’s no longer binding law

• The difference between biblical rest and mere relaxation

• Why busyness (not just laziness) can be a spiritual danger

• How Jesus modeled withdrawing to be alone with the Father

• Practical questions to evaluate your own rhythm of restIf you’ve ever felt guilty resting, or like you can’t stop producing or distracting yourself long enough to be still, this conversation will reframe rest as a gift from God, not an obstacle to productivity.
