Peter Skov – Self-Exposure – My Sins

Peter Skov, author of this continuing confession

I expose myself. I expose my mistakes and weaknesses. I fully take ownership.

This page is a continuing confession and invitation to truth, repentance, healing, reconciliation, and accountable restoration in Christ.

  1. I have led groups and ministry while being addicted to pornography and wasting time. Scripture requires leaders to be sober-minded, self-controlled, and not controlled by excess or addiction (1 Timothy 3:2-3; Titus 1:7-8). I should not have led while I lacked freedom from those addictions. Today I am free from the root lies that convinced me I was partially rejected by God, and from accusations against God that I was rejected. I am therefore free from the demons of rejection, accusation, rebellion, self-pity, self-satisfaction, and lust. I am continuing to walk in truth, humility, and accountable freedom.
    1. If you are dealing with addictions to self-comfort, self-satisfaction, or self-pity—such as gambling, dishonesty, stealing, smoking, drinking, drugs, overspending, overeating, sugar-comforting, over-exercising, or overworking—and you are in leadership, please make freedom your highest priority. Choose a real break from leadership until you are truly free and living transparently under healthy accountability. I and my team can help.
  2. I have not understood the depth of the justice system of the Kingdom of my Father according to Matthew 18:15-20 and 1 Timothy 5:19-21. I have held grudges, I have not done well, and I have not consistently invited people to speak with me directly. I invite anyone who has something against me to come and speak with me, and I will prioritize that conversation. Please write through the contact form. If anyone has a complaint against me—that I have sinned against you or others and it is unresolved, or that I have not heard you or repented rightly—please do the same. If you sense or feel that you are not heard by me, reach out for a hearing from those I am accountable to. See my accountability page. Jesus teaches that when we remember someone has something against us, we should first seek reconciliation: Matthew 5:23-24.
  3. We, under Christian Hedegaard’s guidance, took an offering from our church in Ringkøbing toward the down payment on a house for our family and young people in the church. We have felt that this was wrong and have offered to repay the money with interest. Some wanted the money returned; others did not. We later sold the house and lost approximately 400,000 DKK on it.
  4. I have placed people into leadership too soon. I had not realized that even creating a WhatsApp or Messenger group is actually leadership—for who decides if something that is posted is out of line? The one who has the rights to do that: the leader of the group. I have not always fully seen the need for everyone to be under healthy, impartial, mature accountability. People who were still living as orphans have been placed into leadership; people full of rejection and performance-fruit, rather than secure in grace-alone theology and identity by faith, have been placed there too soon.
  5. And more. I will continue to examine my life honestly before God and people, receive correction, make amends where possible, and walk in the light.
