#224 Micah Moddrell: When God Transforms from Information to Relationship

Death to Life podcast

Micah Modrell shares his powerful journey from rigid religious legalism to discovering the transformative grace of the gospel that completely changed his understanding of God and his approach to ministry.
• Born and raised in an Adventist home with legalistic tendencies
• Parents divorced when he was eight, creating a split between "church house" and "fun house"
• Developed what he calls "an aggressive conscience" that led to cycles of guilt
• Married his high school girlfriend at 19, continuing to attend church but inconsistently
• Became extremely legalistic after having children, believing his salvation depended on behavior
• Struggled with addiction issues that worsened under legalism rather than improved
• Discovered Jonathan Leonardo's teaching that introduced him to a new understanding of God's grace
• Experienced a powerful shift from seeing God as "information" to seeing God as relationship
• Found new freedom to minister to others without needing to prove he was right
• Now lives with peace instead of constant striving, focusing on encouraging others
