n this episode, After Chat hosts Michael and Madison will be diving deep into a powerful conversation on the difference between conviction and regret. We explore what Scripture teaches about godly sorrow, unpack the role of the Holy Spirit in bringing conviction, and contrast it with the heavy weight of regret that comes from shame and self-condemnation. Along the way, we break down real-life examples (yes, even involving donuts!) to show how conviction restores while regret keeps us stuck. Through biblical stories like Zacchaeus’ joyful repentance and Judas’ tragic remorse, we see how conviction leads to transformation while regret leads to despair. Whether you’re carrying past mistakes, struggling with identity, or just needing a reminder of God’s love, this conversation is an invitation to lay down regret and embrace the life-giving conviction of the Holy Spirit.
