Stop Betting On Blame
From the series on Freedom: Stop Betting On Blame is a powerful, personal, and practical message from Pastor Jarod Smith, digging deep into Genesis 3 and the first moment blame ever entered the human experience.
With humor, vulnerability, and biblical insight, Pastor Jarod shares a real-life story from his early marriage—and connects it to Adam’s response in the garden: “The woman YOU gave me…” Instead of owning his part, Adam deflected blame to Eve—and even to God.
This message explores what happens when we gamble with blame:
Why our default is to find fault upward (with God) when pain comes sideways (from others)
How blame leads to bondage, but confession leads to freedom (Proverbs 28:13)
How Jesus not only empathizes with our pain but empowers us to walk in victory
What it means to identify the real enemy—and stop letting lies shape our identity
🎯 You’ll learn a biblical acronym—CRAI—to help you break the cycle:
Confess, Renounce, Approach, Identify
If you’ve ever struggled with shame, resentment, spiritual confusion, or the temptation to blame God for your past—this message is for you.
