Do you still carry guilt for things God has already forgiven? You're not alone. So many Christians live burdened by past sins—even after repenting and surrendering their lives to Christ. But Romans 8 opens with a life-changing promise: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” In Part 1 of our new series, Living the Good Life, we explore what it really means to live in the freedom of God's forgiveness. Through the powerful story of Neil Johnson—a man granted a pardon he never thought he deserved—we'll confront the doubts, emotions, and misconceptions that keep us from fully receiving God's grace. Scripture: Romans 8:1–11 Big Idea: Embracing God's forgiveness is essential to a flourishing Christian life. You'll discover: -Why many believers still feel condemned—even when they're forgiven -How false beliefs about God distort our ability to live free -The difference between guilt and repentance -What it means to truly surrender and walk by the Spirit Whether you struggle with guilt, shame, or just need a fresh reminder of God's grace—this message will speak to your heart.

Rosemary Armao talks in this week's chapter of her podcast On the Brink with Dan Butterworth the executive director -- very busy director of RISSE (Pronounced RISE). -- a small Albany non-profit dedicated to helping and supporting immigrants and refugees in the Capital District. That part of upstate New York is not cosmopolitan and the nearest immigration court is out near Buffalo, but it has seen plenty of horrific ICE actions against foreign born residents. Immigrants in the Albany area tend to be from Africa and the Middle East and they are terrified, he said. They aren't coming to English classes, are afraid to go to the supermarket or to legally required meetings with immigration officials for fear of being plucked off the streets and whisked out of the country. There are things that native born Americans who don't like the Stephen Miller-Donald Trump deportation policies can do. That includes sending laundry, shaving and mentrual supplies to Risse to distribute and witnessing-recording-and intervening in ICE actions around the area.
