Podcasts about bitterness

Something shifts in the middle of life that you were not warned about. The fervor you once had—the fire, the sense that God was close, and the faith was vivid—has gone flat. And the question underneath your silence, the one you are ashamed to admit, is not "What happened to my faith?" It is "What is wrong with me?" Nothing is wrong with you. But something is forming inside you, whether you know it or not. Whether it becomes maturity or bitterness depends on decisions you are probably not aware you are making right now. Father Ronald Rolheiser—Missionary Oblate priest, theologian, and author of Insane for the Light and Sacred Fire—returns for a third conversation that opens the map most of us are missing. He walks through the three phases of a maturing Christian life, explains why wilderness seasons are not a malfunction but a form of purification, and addresses why the grief you keep deferring is the precise bridge to everything the second half of life is supposed to be. Underneath all of it is the one question midlife forces everyone to answer: whether you are still operating out of the pleasure principle, asking what is in it for you, or whether you have begun the long work of moving from achievement to fruitfulness. If you are in the flat middle stretch of life, this conversation will name exactly where you are. What comes after the naming is up to you. The Lord is not asking you to feel more. He is asking you to be honest, to grieve faithfully, and to hold with both hands whatever commitments He has already placed in yours. Guest Bio Father Ronald Rolheiser is a Missionary Oblate priest, theologian, and the author of Insane for the Light and Sacred Fire—among nearly twenty books exploring what it means to mature in a life with God. His weekly column on spirituality reaches readers in more than seventy countries. This is his third conversation on Win Today.

Meghan Murphy is a writer, podcaster, and one of the original people to get canceled on Twitter — permanently banned in 2018 for tweeting "men aren't women, though" and referring to a man who wanted to get his testicles waxed as "him." She's been writing and podcasting independently ever since, and she now lives in Mexico. We talked about: the tweet that got her banned and the Yaniv waxing lawsuits that triggered it; Canada's Bill C16 and what it actually means to have gender identity law on the books; losing venues, hiring private security, and getting stalked around her Vancouver neighborhood; how Joe Rogan and Elon Musk both played a role in keeping her career alive; why she left Canada in January 2021; the cartel "protest" that burned some cars, got wildly exaggerated online, and tanked the tourist season in her Mexican town; the fear of fun — Andrew Huberman, Bryan Johnson, Gen Z, and the obsession with optimizing yourself out of actually living; why she's happier single; why "nobody wants you after 35" is not true; and why guys who call attractive women "mid" are almost certainly not having sex with real women.

Vintage City Church | Removing the Root of Bitterness • 1 Peter 2:1 • Gary Peters In 1 Peter 2:1–3, Peter calls believers to put away sinful attitudes and hunger for God's Word. As we experience the kindness and grace of Christ, God transforms our hearts, helping us grow in maturity, love, and Christlike character.

When your story is history, and you allow it to become His story, your story becomes ministry. You need to know that unforgiveness will write your story. Forgiveness will write your story. Which one is writing yours?In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally uses the life of Joseph to teach us how to walk in the freedom of forgiveness.

2 Kings 5:1-4

Jenn delves into the importance of brotherly love in the Christian community. This concept is often misunderstood, and many Christians struggle to show love to others, especially when faced with difficult situations or hurtful experiences. There are 8 different ways every Christian should illustrate brotherly love: Hospitality to Christian strangers Standing for the mistreated Christians Remembering the Christians in prison Being content with what we have Letting go of anxiety Refusing to love money Honoring marriage Honoring the marriage bed Jenn encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and consider how they can show brotherly love to those around them, whether it's through a simple act of kindness or a more significant gesture. God's love is a model for our own love, and that we should strive to be like Him in our relationships with others. If you're looking for a reminder of the importance of love and kindness in your relationships, this episode is a great place to start. Join Jenn as she explores the ways in which we can cultivate brotherly love and build stronger, more meaningful connections with those around us.

It's been 32 years since the OJ Simpson car chase captivated the nation, and Brian From takes a trip down memory lane while reflecting on how the moment became a cultural touchpoint for an entire generation. Then: a fascinating NPR piece on the more than half of parents who now track their 18-to-25-year-olds on their phones — is it healthy connection or a new kind of surveillance? A candid, personal segment on two sins Brian says don't get talked about enough: envy and bitterness, including his own recent struggle holding onto bitterness after being hurt by people he trusted. The Supreme Court halts the execution of a death row inmate who became a Christian ministry leader during 26 years of incarceration, raising hard questions about transformation, redemption, and the death penalty.

Most people don't realize how much of life is driven by what the heart has come to believe. Fear, anxiety, bitterness, peace, hope, and faith are not just passing emotions — they are often connected to deep stories we have accepted as reality.In this episode, Brandon welcomes back Jennifer Johnson for a deeply honest and practical conversation about trading fear for faith. Jennifer shares the story of a devastating church situation that left her family with financial debt, relational loss, disappointment, and a future that looked nothing like what she had planned.Website: JJohnsoncoach.com

What happens when a gifted person becomes dissatisfied with the assignment God has given them? In this episode of Silent Leaks, we explore one of the most sobering stories in Scripture—the rebellion of Korah in Numbers 16. At first glance, Korah's argument sounds reasonable. He speaks of equality, fairness, and shared leadership. But beneath his words was a hidden leak: resentment. Korah was not an outsider. He was already chosen, already serving, and already blessed. Yet he became consumed with what God had given someone else. What began as comparison turned into jealousy. Jealousy became bitterness. Bitterness became rebellion. And rebellion brought destruction. This message challenges us to examine the hidden places of our hearts: Have we become dissatisfied with God's assignment for our lives? Are we celebrating others' success or secretly resenting it? Have we confused position with purpose? Are we seeking influence, or are we faithfully serving where God has planted us? Through the story of Korah, we discover that some of the most dangerous sins are not the ones everyone sees, but the ones that quietly grow beneath the surface. Resentment is a silent leak that can drain gratitude, distort perspective, and damage relationships before anyone notices. Join Pastor Dr. Peter Eley as he unpacks the spiritual danger of comparison, the power of contentment, and the importance of embracing the calling God has uniquely given you.

Should Men Still Get Married? Feminism and Red-Pill Bitterness Are Destroying the Family Why are so many young men asking, "Why should I get married?" After decades of feminism attacking marriage as oppression, a growing number of men are now embracing the opposite error. The manosphere, MGTOW movement, and red-pill influencers often preach a message of fear, bitterness, and withdrawal from marriage. Different rhetoric. Same result. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon and Zach Krugler tackle one of the biggest questions facing Christian men today: Is marriage still worth it? They examine feminist attacks on marriage, critique the growing anti-marriage sentiment in the manosphere, break down surprising statistics about marriage, and show why God's design for marriage remains essential for faithful Christian men. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and practical experience, they make the case that marriage is not a trap to avoid but a calling to embrace.

In this message, Rev. Jesse addresses the hidden but destructive root of bitterness that many of us struggle with after being hurt, offended, or let down. Drawing from Hebrews 12:15, he explains how bitterness grows like a root and produces damaging fruit in our lives if left unchecked. More importantly, he offers practical and faith-based steps toward healing, including choosing forgiveness, releasing pain to God in prayer, praying for those who have hurt us, and embracing the reality that healing is a process.#GetRidOfBitterness #CITAMChurchOnline #ChurchEverydayGet in touch with us:http://www.citam.org/churchonline@citam.org(+254) 784 277 277(+254) 728 221 221

“Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again”. How many of you remember "The Sounds of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel? We are showing our age on this one!Art Garfunkel (yes, that's his real name) said, “the song is fundamentally about the inability to communicate and, consequently, the inability to genuinely love one another.”Joseph experienced his own “Sounds of Silence” and darkness, his old friend. Nearly killed, thrown in the pit, sold into slavery, tossed into prison, and then the “sound of silence” waiting 2 years for a former prisoner to remember him before Pharaoh. Can you imagine the level of frustration? I mean we get frustrated when someone doesn't respond to our text right away. The nerve of some people!What was Joseph's response to the “sound of silence” he endured? Hmmmm. It's amazing how God had a plan and a purpose through it all to raise up one man, to save his own family and ultimately God's people. Read Joseph's story again in Genesis. I dare you!Bill Wilkinson

Bitterness feels powerful in the moment, but eventually it becomes a weight we were never meant to carry. Forgiveness doesn't excuse the pain—it chooses freedom over letting that pain control your heart forever. Jesus carried the weight of sin and betrayal to the cross so we wouldn't have to keep carrying it alone.

In this episode, Nancy Wilson reflects on Song of Solomon 2:15 and the “little foxes” that spoil the vineyard of Christian relationships, especially in marriage, family, friendship, and church community. She considers sins like hurt feelings, resentment, anger, jealousy, broken confidences, and bitterness, urging listeners to guard their relationships with biblical wisdom, quick forgiveness, careful barriers, and a willingness to overlook small offenses before they take root.

In our modern, hyper-productive world, we want everything instantly. But the greatest joys, the deepest relationships, and the most profound inner peace cannot be microwaved or rushed. In this episode, we are going to explore the psychological art of slowing down, and discover how trading our frantic urgency for gentle patience allows us to finally extract the sweetness of life rather than its bitterness.

In this episode, I'm opening up about what it was really like selling the house I shared with my ex after our breakup. This isn't just about moving house, it's about letting go of a chapter of life, healing emotionally, and learning how to move forward without bitterness.I wanted this conversation to feel like sitting down with a friend, so I'm sharing the honest emotions behind leaving a home full of memories, the mindset shifts that helped me heal, and what I did to protect my peace during such a huge life transition.If you're navigating a breakup, separation, divorce, or starting over in any way, I hope this episode reminds you that it's possible to let go with love, grow through change, and create a fresh start for yourself.Want More Like This - https://stan.store/Loula My New Instagram - @move.with.louJoin Us on Patreon - ⁠patreon.com/ComingUpForAir⁠ Youtube - https://youtu.be/uf90Uc_owUw Support the show

How Much Longer? Not Much! The Sweetnes and Bitterness of God's Plan (Revelation 10) - Dr. Bill Cook

What does Jesus really mean when he says "Do not murder"? In this sermon from Matthew 5:21–26, Pastor Brad digs beneath the surface of one of the most familiar commandments in Scripture — and what he finds is both convicting and hopeful. Jesus isn't just raising the bar on behavior. He's exposing the roots: the anger we've learned to manage, the contempt we've dressed up as discernment, the grudge we've carried so long it feels normal. And then he shows us the remedy — and it's more urgent and more practical than we might expect. In this message you'll discover: Why anger and contempt are on the same road as murder The difference between righteous anger and wounded ego Why broken relationships interrupt worship The crucial difference between forgiveness and reconciliation Why delay is the enemy of reconciliation How the gospel gives us the only motivation powerful enough to move us toward peace Whether you're carrying a broken relationship, an unresolved conflict, or a grudge you've never named out loud — this message is for you.

By Troy Phelps - Speaker: Troy Phelps Date: 5/23/26 In this sermon, we explore how unresolved pain and disappointment can quietly grow into a root of bitterness that eventually produces cynicism in a Christian's life. Drawing from Hebrews 12:15 and other powerful biblical passages, this message reveals how

[Hebrews 12:14-15] Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. [15] Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many. Bitterness is anger that has _________________ for too long in our lives. As long as you live like a _________________ you will never live like a _________________. You _________________ it.  [Ephesians 5:11] Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. You _________________ the debt. [Ephesians 4:31-32] Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. [32] Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. You _________________ your offender. [Luke 6:27-31] “But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. [28] Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. [29] If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. [30] Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don't try to get them back. [31] Do to others as you would like them to do to you. Single best remedy for bitterness is ________________. Don't get _______________ get ________________.

If you've spent years pouring yourself out for everyone around you — your children, your husband, your aging parent, your clients, your church — and you're exhausted, resentful, or just not feeling well, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we're talking honestly about what happens when self-neglect goes unchecked. Not from a self-help angle, but from a faith-centered, whole-person perspective that takes both your body and your calling seriously. This episode is for the Christian woman who is done spinning her wheels, done running on fumes, and ready to start seeing herself the way God sees her. --- Why Good Women Stop Taking Care of Themselves It often doesn't start with a dramatic decision. It starts with one more yes. One more skipped meal. One more night staying up too late to get everything done. Over time, those small compromises quietly add up — and so do the consequences. A friend who worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over a decade watched this happen to someone she loved. Her colleague, a deeply dependable and caring woman, worked around the clock, rarely stopped to eat, took on the work of multiple people, and slowly stopped doing the things that once brought her joy — like traveling through Europe. Year after year, the workload got heavier, the complaints got louder, and yet the boundaries never came. The hard truth? The problem wasn't only the unreasonable management or the impossible workload. The deeper issue was that she didn't yet value herself enough to say no. This pattern doesn't stay in the workplace. It shows up in our homes, our marriages, our friendships, and our churches. --- What the Church Sometimes Gets Wrong About Sacrifice If you've spent any meaningful time in church, there's a chance you've walked away with an unspoken message: that giving everything, constantly, is what godliness looks like. That more sacrifice always equals more faithfulness. But that's not the full picture Scripture paints. You were made in the image of God. The same God who cares deeply about the child you're raising, the parent you're caring for, and the friend you drop everything for — that same God cares about you. Holistic health isn't just about what you eat or how you sleep. It's about recognizing that your body, your emotions, and your energy are worth stewarding — because they belong to Him. --- Three Things That Happen When You Stop Taking Care of Yourself 1. Bitterness can take root. When you give and give without boundaries, and no one seems to notice or reciprocate, resentment builds. It's not always loud. Sometimes it's just a quiet, growing heaviness that colors how you see everyone around you. 2. You end up tolerating sin. This one is uncomfortable, but it needs to be said. When we stay quiet, keep the peace at all costs, and never address what's actually wrong, we're not being gracious — we're enabling. Sin that's never confronted rarely changes. The book And the Shofar Blew by Francine Rivers illustrates this heartbreakingly well: a pastor's hidden sin went unaddressed for generations because the women closest to him chose silence over truth. Tolerating what God calls wrong isn't humility. It's harm. 3. Your body starts to break down. This is where holistic health and faith genuinely intersect. Dr. Josh Axe observed in his clinical practice that many of his patients dealing with autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, and other persistent symptoms were young mothers — women who were deeply devoted to caring for others but had stopped caring for themselves. The body keeps score. Chronic stress, emotional depletion, and poor self-care are not just spiritual issues — they show up physically. --- Jesus Had Boundaries — And So Can You The most powerful person to ever walk the earth did not spend every moment helping people. Jesus stepped away from the crowds. He retreated to pray. He protected his time with the Father even when people needed him, even when they were looking for him. If Jesus modeled rest, solitude, and limits — you are not being selfish when you do the same. You're being faithful. --- Practical Next Steps Worth Considering - Read Boundaries or Boundaries in Marriage by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend — widely recommended for a reason - Consider speaking with a counselor or pastor if you're struggling to identify or hold limits in your relationships - Ask for help — and be specific. Tell your husband, your friend, or your church community exactly what you need - Remember Matthew 11:28-29: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." That's an invitation, not a suggestion --- Timestamped Highlights 0:00 — Opening truth: neglecting yourself isn't humility 0:30 — The story of Molly: what a decade of no boundaries actually looks like 3:52 — This isn't just a workplace problem — it shows up in our homes, marriages, and caregiving 4:19 — What the church sometimes gets wrong about sacrifice 5:17 — Three consequences of self-neglect: bitterness, tolerating sin, and getting sick 6:13 — And the Shofar Blew: what happens when we stay quiet about sin 8:08 — The physical toll: Dr. Josh Axe's observations on autoimmune issues and chronic fatigue in caregivers 9:08 — Practical resources: Boundaries books, counseling, and asking for specific help 9:37 — Jesus had boundaries too — and He's your model 10:36 — Closing encouragement and invitation --- Key Takeaways - Self-neglect is not a virtue. It has real spiritual, emotional, and physical consequences. - Bitterness, enabling sin, and chronic illness are three outcomes that often trace back to a pattern of giving without limits. - Jesus modeled boundaries consistently — stepping away, resting, and protecting time with the Father. - Asking for help and being specific about what you need is not weakness. It's wisdom. - Your body is worth paying attention to. Persistent fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, and emotional burnout are signals, not character flaws. --- Ready to Stop Waiting and Start Feeling Better? If this episode hit close to home — if you recognized yourself in Molly's story, or you've been running on empty for longer than you can remember — this is your sign to take the next step.
