Ashwin focuses on failing at failure, asserting that Satan aims to separate Christians from God through guilt and shame following their sins. Drawing from Matt Emmons' Olympic failures and John Piper's controversial article on lust and missions, Ashwin emphasizes that the propensity to fail resides within everyone and that Satan exploits failures to disqualify believers from God's grace. Using Micah 7, he outlines three ways to fail at failure: refusing restoration, dropping out of the Christian race, and allowing the enemy to triumph. Ashwin illustrates how God disciplines out of love, not punishment, and that restoration is always available through confession and acceptance of God's grace. He uses the story of Derek Redmond's Olympic race and Peter's denial of Christ to show how God helps believers continue despite their failures and how God's restorative grace puts His glory on display, ultimately shaming the enemy. He encourages listeners to preach the gospel to Satan and to embrace restoration rather than succumbing to despair.
