Freedom to Fail |

What if the trials you’re walking through are God’s way of forging something eternal in you? In this episode of the Kavod Family Podcast, Casey, Travis, and Justin explore what it means to be sanctified not just in theory—but in the trenches. Drawing from Hebrews 5, Cain and Abel, and their own personal struggles, they unpack how real growth often requires real pain.

This is part two in the Forging series, a deep look into sanctification, identity, and the way God forms sons who reflect His glory.

If you’ve ever asked “Why is this so hard?”—this conversation will help you see the purpose in the pain and the Father’s hand in the fire.

We talk about:
• Why sanctification is always relational
• The difference between guilt and conviction
• Hebrews 5 and how Christ learned obedience
• What Cain got wrong that Christ made right
• How shame causes us to run, but the Father invites us in
• Why we must obey even when we don’t understand

“Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.” – Hebrews 5:8
