A Radical Decision

In Ezekiel 18 – 33, we’re struck by how clearly God speaks about choice, consistency, and the hope of repentance. Even those with no church background have found healing just by showing up, praying, or being open to change. Ezekiel challenges the idea that we’re stuck because of our past or our family story. Instead, God puts the responsibility — and the opportunity — into our hands. He invites us to choose differently, to walk a new path, and He trusts us enough to believe we can. His heart isn’t set on judgment but on life — He wants us to turn, live, and be restored.

What hits us most is how real repentance is meant to be. It’s not just feeling bad; it’s turning around, making things right, and choosing a new way forward, even when it costs something. Like Zacchaeus, it’s about action, not just intention. We’re learning that God doesn’t need us to be perfect — He’s looking for people willing to stand in the gap, to live in a way that brings light and healing into dark places. And we want to be those people.
