Wrestling with Salvation and Assurance | Q&A Pt.1

If I still struggle with sin, does that mean I’m not really saved?

In this special Q&A episode of the Cultivate Podcast, Abigail and Charlie tackle some of the most vulnerable and personal questions that come up when we talk about salvation. From fear of not being “really saved,” to guilt over repeated sin, to wondering why God doesn’t always feel close—this episode gets into the real-life tensions believers wrestle with.

With honesty and compassion, Charlie offers practical theology rooted in scripture and hope, and Abigail reflects on her own journey of faith, doubt, and grace. Together, they explore why assurance is different from perfection, how God’s kindness leads us to repentance, and why the gospel is still good news even when we feel like a mess.

If you've ever asked yourself, “Is God disappointed in me?” or “Why is this still hard?”—this episode will remind you that salvation isn't earned by your strength but received in your weakness. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation that points back to Jesus as the anchor of our hope.
