LTWT 070: Why Righteousness Changes Everything

“A lot of what we believe about ourself influences our decision-making and our behaviors. A question I ask myself is, ‘What do I really believe about myself?’” Righteousness is a sonship right that deeply influences how you see yourself, how you approach God, and ultimately how you live your everyday life. In this episode, Steele Bergman and minister Edgar Mendoza unpack what righteousness really means and why it matters beyond definition. They explore how your view of righteousness can draw you closer to God with confidence, while ignorance of it can keep you at a distance with fear or shame. They also look at what it practically looks like to live from a place of righteousness and how it influences your thoughts, choices, and interactions, and contrast that with the struggle of living outside of that identity. If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling good enough for God or wondered how your rights as a son of God connect to your daily life, this conversation will help you see righteousness not as something to earn, but as something that transforms how you live.

They explore how your view of righteousness can draw you closer to God with confidence, while ignorance of it can keep you at a distance with fear or shame.

They also look at what it practically looks like to live from a place of righteousness and how it influences your thoughts, choices, and interactions, and contrast that with the struggle of living outside of that identity. If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling good enough for God or wondered how your rights as a son of God connect to your daily life, this conversation will help you see righteousness not as something to earn, but as something that transforms how you live.
