70. Romans 8: Not condemned, not forgotten and not separated

This week, Sarah invites us to sit with Romans 8 from The Message—a chapter overflowing with hope, identity, and assurance. Through gentle reflection and “I wonder…” questions, we’re reminded that we are not condemned, not forgotten, and never separated from the love of God. Whether you journal, walk, or simply listen quietly, this episode is a space to breathe deeply and be held in truth.

“You are held in love that cannot be broken.”

Some questions to ponder

1. I wonder what it means for me to live “freely and lightly” in the Spirit today.

2. I wonder what part of me still feels like it’s under condemnation—and what God might be saying to that.

3. I wonder how I’ve seen God work all things together for good—even when I couldn’t see it at the time.

4. I wonder what groaning in prayer looks like for me right now.

5. I wonder what it means that nothing can separate me from God’s love—not even the things I’m afraid to name.

6. I wonder how I can live more like a child of God and less like a slave to fear.

7. I wonder what it would feel like to truly believe that God is for me.

8. I wonder what part of creation’s longing I feel most deeply in this season.

9. I wonder how I can join the Spirit in interceding for others.

10. I wonder what “more than conquerors” means in the context of my everyday life.

I wonder what part of Romans 8 felt like it was written just for you today?
