In this episode of Briefcase and The Barn, Kyle and Gary dive into the deeply personal and theological question, “How can I know I’m saved?” They explore assurance of salvation, wrestling with sin, and how upbringing and church culture shape beliefs. Gary opens up about his and Marie’s infertility journey, their decision to adopt, and the spiritual and emotional challenges along the way.
The episode also touches on church leadership, the dangers of legalism, and the importance of transparency, grace, and letting your actions reflect your faith. Raw, reflective, and rich in both honesty and humor, this one pulls no punches.
