When Your Private Life Doesn’t Match Your Faith
Aug 25, 2026 Season 3 Episode 6
Zack & Linda McConnell

What do you do when people see your faith, but they do not see the part of your life you are trying to hide?

In Episode 6 of The Christian Point, Zack and Linda McConnell talk honestly about the gap between public faith and private struggle. This is not a conversation about shame or pretending Christians never struggle. It is a conversation about image management, hidden inconsistency, surrender, and the grace of Christ that invites us into the light.

Using Psalm 139:23–24 as the main biblical anchor, with Luke 12:2 as support, Zack and Linda discuss why hidden places are not hidden from God, why secrecy is not safety, and how believers can take one faithful next step toward honesty and transformation.

In this episode, you’ll hear three practical tools:

  1. Pray the search-me prayer.
  2. Name the gap.
  3. Bring it into wise light.

Because Christ does not invite us to manage an image; He invites us into the light.

Christ is the Point.
