We all have “love issues.” John 13:35 says that love is to be our identifying mark as Christians – not our wisdom or spiritual gifts or activity – but being a loving person is difficult. Jada Edwards has a new book out called A New Way to Love Your Neighbor that she wrote out of a season where she struggled to love well. The Lord revealed to her that she couldn't be the originator of grace for other people. She needed God to reveal His love for her specifically, continually, so she'd be filled up with love to give. Jada and the Perrys explore the definition of agape love in which the person initiating the love determines the value of the one they love. They talk about how Biblical love for others almost always requires decision – deciding to love – instead of affection. And ultimately, love needs wisdom to be effective. We need to slow down, pray, and ask Holy Spirit to guide us in how to love. Scripture references:John 13:351 John 4:8Connect with Jada: https://www.instagram.com/jada_edwards/ This Episode is Sponsored By: https://gominno.com — Get your first month FREE when you use code PERRY at sign up.

The prophet's message in verses 18-20 finished on a high point with the prophet's reminder of Yahweh's steadfast love (chesed) and compassion. Read these verses aloud slowly. Pause and ponder.James 3 continues in a practical vein with the issues we all have in controlling our tongues. He says that teachers have a stricter responsibility, as our words will be discounted by our inconsistent conduct and speech. The only man to have perfectly controlled his tongue was our Lord Jesus Christ. In verses 3-4 two examples of small things controlling great things - the horse is controlled by a small bit in its mouth; and a ship is directed by a small rudder. The tongue is small, but seemingly uncontrollable - a small spark sets a forest ablaze; and likewise, a tiny bit of gossip creates untold havoc. How perverse we are. We praise and thank God, and, with the same tongue slander those made by God in His image. This is contrary to nature as the two examples of verses 11-12 illustrate. Verses 13-18 describe and counsel the use of heavenly wisdom. Wisdom and understanding are demonstrated by meekness (teachableness) - see Psalm 18verses20-28; 25verses1-9). Strife and bitterness, by contrast, come from self-promotion. Although purity proceeds peace (see 2 Kings 9verses19; Isaiah 57verses19-21), this is never an invitation to pummel people into submission. Read verses 17-18 aloud slowly. Pause and ponder. At the end of chapter 3 we saw one cause of strife was self-promotion; in chapter 4 he names several more. Chapter 4 warns against worldliness. He deals with covetousness in the first three verses. A covetous person has no room in their life for God. Interestingly the 10 commandments stand and finish with covetousness - the first, "You shall have no gods before me" (a person's possessions possess them); and the tenth, "You shall not covet".Hence Paul says in Colossians 3verses5, "Covetousness, which is idolatry". Hence covetousness is likened to adultery (chapter 4verses4-5). The jealousy of God for the purity and chastity of believers is captured by the ESV translation of verse 5, "He yearns zealously over the spirit (mind, or attitude) that He has made to dwell in us". Compare this with what the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11verses2-3. The literal Greek of verse 4 is, "adulteresses" (since God is our groom). But for those who graciously submit and draw near to our Father He will show reciprocity in drawing near to them (see 1 Peter 5verses5-11). Humility now will bring future exaltation (compare our Lord Jesus Christ in Philippians 2 verses 1-11). The humble disciple is not one who critically compares oneself with others. From verses 13-17 James reminds us of our vain and transient nature. Therefore, he says, boasting is wrong. All plans we make are "God willing" (subject to His purpose for us). Should we focus on covetousness we have excluded Him from those plans. What we have has been given to us by Him to use in His service. Life is no more permanent than the vapour from the boiling kettle. Don't be arrogant. Place God at the forefront of all your plans.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Ever bought an ETF because the ticker looked clever, only to wonder why it didn't behave like the market you expected? We unpack how exchange traded funds really work, from the tax magic of in-kind redemptions to the quiet costs hidden in spreads, volume, and tracking choices. Along the way, we demystify why some funds hug an index tightly while others take a rules-based path that can lower trading costs and sometimes deliver better long-term results, even if they drift from the benchmark in the short run.We share a practical framework for choosing ETFs that fit your strategy. Start with clarity on your target exposure, then verify whether the fund strictly tracks a benchmark or uses index-like rules with factor tilts such as dividends or profitability. Compare expense ratios among peers, but don't stop there—check average daily volume, how closely the market price matches NAV, and the fund's historical premium or discount. We explain why niche or thinly traded products can surprise you with wide bid ask spreads and why limit orders and smart timing help you avoid paying extra on execution.Taxes matter, and ETFs can shine in taxable accounts. We discuss how mutual funds pass through capital gains at year-end, while ETFs typically minimize them. You'll hear a real-world example of using appreciated ETF shares for charitable giving to avoid gains, preserve a deduction, and sidestep an upcoming capital gains distribution by donating before the ex-dividend date. We also touch on why we favor ETFs over exchange traded notes for core equity exposure, given ETNs' issuer credit risk and potential extra fees.If you want lower costs, tighter control over execution, and fewer tax surprises, this guide will help you build a cleaner ETF lineup. Follow the closing checklist—match the right index, confirm reasonable fees, ensure good volume, and keep market price close to NAV—and you'll avoid the most common pitfalls. Enjoyed the breakdown?

This episode is for anyone staring down the end of the year wondering if they "succeeded"—comparing themselves to external markers, measuring their worth by what didn't happen, or feeling behind despite doing the work. We explore how to define success on your own terms, celebrate what actually matters, and set yourself up for meaningful progress ahead.The Big QuestionHow do I define success as I reflect on the past year and plan for the next?What We CoverGround yourself in your actual goals – Compare yourself to what you originally set out to do, not what others achieved or external markers say you should have done.Account for pivots – Document when your plans changed. Those adjustments often represent good leadership, not failure.Balance input and output goals – Focus on what you control (inputs like sending weekly newsletters) alongside desired outcomes (outputs like business growth). Input goals give you agency and realistic measures of success.Get specific with your vision – "Getting a job" isn't enough. Define the job you want, at the company you want, doing work you want to do.Give yourself grace – Sometimes success is showing up through a hard year. No one else knows the battles you fought.Key TakeawaySuccess isn't just about hitting January's goals. It's about acknowledging what shifted, celebrating the inputs you controlled, and defining what matters to you—not what external markers say should matter.Resources MentionedRuchika Malhotra, Uncompete: Rejecting Competition to Unlock SuccessResources:Navigating a big transition?

You know that feeling when you leave work completely drained, not because the dogs were tough, but because the clients were? Let's talk about that. When clients truly value you, they don't make you feel guilty for setting boundaries - they respect your time, your prices, and your energy. Red flags aren't just annoying…they're expensive. “You've worked your tail off — and you're done saying sorry for wanting more. If that makes you a greedy bitch, good. This is Greedy Bitch, where groomers trade burnout for boundaries — and learn to love their business again.” We're diving into the difference between guilt-based clients and soulmate clients - the ones who make you love grooming again. The Discount Dilemma Remember the clients who always asked for a discount or complained about price increases? You thought you were being kind by giving them a “deal”, but it never made them loyal. They expected more every time, and the moment you enforced boundaries or raised prices, they left anyway. You realized that soulmate clients never asked for discounts - they booked regularly and even tipped more when you adjusted prices. Some even said that you should charge more and that you deserve it! Real Life Example: There was a student who used to have a client named Barbara who completely guilted her into keeping her groom at $45. Barbara told the student she couldn't justify paying more for her dog than she did for her own hair. The student felt bad and agreed to keep Barbara at that price — as long as she was the one grooming her dog. Later, when that student hired an employee, she told Barbara she had to raise the price to our standard rate of $85 per hour. She said, ‘Well, why can't you just keep grooming Sasha?' When the student stuck to her boundary, Barbara left. The funny thing? The student found out later Barbara started going to another groomer — and paying them $85 per groom. That's when it hit the student: Barbara was never a soulmate client. Just because someone is a regular doesn't mean they truly value you. The Late Pickup or No-Show Stress Think of the clients who were chronically late or ghosted on appointments. You tried to “be nice” the first few times, but it disrupted your schedule and cost you income. Compare that to your soulmate clients who apologized, respected your time, and even brought coffee as a thank-you. “It's not about being mean - it's about protecting your peace and professionalism.” Real Life Example: I had a student who had a client who ghosted her for two appointments. SHe tried to be understanding — the client made it sound like there were things going on in her life, and the student wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. When the client finally came back with her two husky–malamute mixes, they were in terrible shape. The student was too nice again and didn't charge what the job really required. One of the dogs was so matted she had to refer her to a vet for part of the groom. Instead of being grateful, the owner got upset and wanted her to force her elderly dog into uncomfortable positions just to get the job done. That was the moment the student realized — she was never a soulmate client. The student thought she should've stood her ground and protected her time, her energy, and that poor dog's well-being The Emotional Guilt Tripper The client who said, “But my dog loves you! Can't you just squeeze us in?” At first it feels flattering - but it's manipulation in disguise. It's not your job to solve their poor planning or last-minute emergencies. Soulmate clients plan ahead and understand that respect goes both ways. Real Life Example: I had a student who had a client who always told her how much she loved her and how much her dog loved her. It sounded sweet, but she'd constantly wait until the last minute to book and expected the student to bend over backwards for her. One time, she even asked the student to reschedule other clients just so she could get in sooner. That's when the student realized — being nice and being respected aren't the same thing. She seemed kind on the surface, but she wasn't a soulmate client. The student thought she would've saved herself so much emotional stress if she'd just let her go sooner or created those boundaries. The Unrealistic Expectation Client Maybe a matted doodle owner who insisted their dog “wasn't that bad”. You felt pressure to please them and worried they'd be upset when you had to shave down. You learned that your soulmate clients trust your expertise - they don't question your judgement. A soulmate client says, “Do what's best for my dog,” while a red-flag client says, “Can't you just make them fluffy?” Real Life Example: We've had so many clients — and yes, unfortunately most of them were doodles — who insisted their dog ‘wasn't that matted' and that we are just being lazy for wanting to shave them down. They wanted their dog to stay fluffy no matter what, even if it wasn't in the dog's best interest. But there's a huge difference with soulmate clients. They always choose humanity over vanity. They trust your judgment, they want what's best for their dog, and they're genuinely appreciative. Those are the grooms that leave you feeling good at the end of the day — not drained. The “Energy Drain” Client Someone whose dog you loved but whose parents' energy exhausted you - complaining, gossiping, or creating drama. Even when the money was good, you left those appointments emotionally drained. When you switched focus to soulmate clients, grooming days felt lighter and more rewarding - even if your schedule was smaller. Real Life Example: My student had a client named Marci who left her completely emotionally drained every single time. She complained about something at every appointment, yet she always came back — and honestly, it never made sense to my student. Marci was incredibly particular and neurotic about her dog, even though Panda herself was an absolute sweetheart. It can really open your eyes to how much energy those kinds of clients take. When your day is filled with soulmate clients instead, it's a totally different experience. You finish the day feeling fulfilled, calm, and genuinely excited to do it all again tomorrow. Soulmate clients don't guilt you - they get you. They respect your boundaries, your time, and your talent. They make this career sustainable and joyful. And once you stop tolerating red-flag clients, you create space for the ones who truly value you. Protect your peace, charge what services are worth, and stop mistaking guilt for gratitude. Alright, that's it for this week's episode of Greedy Bitch. If this hit home, share it with a fellow groomer who needs permission to say “no” without guilt. And don't forget to grab your Free Holiday Boundaries Script at SavvyGroomer.com/HolidayBoundaries Until next time — stay grateful and as always… stay greedy, bitch.

In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim Oliver sits down with leadership coach Adrian Koehler—a former pastor and prison leadership trainer who now coaches founders and "type A dickheads" who feel the weight of responsibility and the loneliness at the top. Adrian and Jim dig into why "not having a vision" isn't an accident, it's a strategy. They unpack how confusion is actually a chosen vision, why high-performers secretly love being "stuck," and how most leaders waste energy being frustrated that others aren't like them instead of learning to translate their own genius. What You'll Learn Confusion Is a Vision: Why "I don't know what I want" isn't a neutral statement—it's a chosen vision of confusion with payoffs and prices. The Real Work of High Performers: How founders create the loneliness at the top—and what shifts when you actually want truth more than comfort. Vision as a Future Worth Having: How Adrian reframes faith, calling, and vision—away from protectivism and toward adventure. Action Steps 1. Expose Your "Confusion Strategy" Write out: "Why do I love being confused about my vision?" List every payoff and every price. Awareness kills the racket. 2. Translate Your Genius for Your Team Take one intuitive thing you do well and break down the principles behind it. That's how you scale your thinking. 3. Re-Anchor Money to Mission Ask: "If I had a billion dollars today, where would it go this week?" Compare that to your current spending and adjust. Adrian Koehler's Powerful Word "Everybody has a vision—every second of their life. If you're 'stuck' or 'confused,' that's still a vision. If we don't get to now, we can't get to next."

Are you confident in replacing a single missing central incisor? When is a denture the right option — and when should you consider a bridge or implant instead? Why is the single central incisor one of the hardest teeth to replace to a patient's satisfaction? In this Back to Basics episode, Jaz and Protrusive Student Emma Hutchison explore the unique challenges of replacing a single central incisor. They break down when each option — denture, resin-bonded bridge, conventional bridge, or implant — is appropriate, and the biological and aesthetic factors that influence that decision. They also share key communication strategies to help you manage expectations, guide patients through realistic treatment choices, and avoid disappointment when dealing with this most visible and demanding tooth. https://youtu.be/czjPQxKpwPw Watch PS018 on YouTube Key Takeaways:  Replacing a single central incisor isn't just about technical skill — it's about communication and case selection.  Success comes from helping patients understand that a restoration replaces a tooth's function and appearance, not nature itself.  Clear conversations about expectations, limitations, and maintenance are what turn a difficult aesthetic case into a satisfying long-term result.

Verses 1-4 of Nehemiah 7 tells us that although the walls of Jerusalem had been rebuilt the houses had not yet been built. This left the city unprotected. From verses 5-65 the genealogies of the entire 42,360 returned exiles was recorded, with more than half of those verses being about the priests, the Levites and the Nethenim - indicating the importance of these to the newly reconstituted kingdom of Judah. It was essential that the credentials of a priest descended from Aaron be established for correct worship. The remaining verses record the gifts given by the people for worship.Joel 2 records the progress of the unstoppable Babylonian army. They are described as Yahweh's army, who are to execute his judgements on the "day of Yahweh". From verses 12-17 recorded an impassioned plea to return to their God. They needed to "rend their hearts, and not their clothes" (v13) for their Sovereign's loving kindness, grace and mercy have never left the One who so revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 34verses6-7. So, if their LORD found a repentant people He would bless them. Those blessings are described in verses 18-27. They would see God's people eternally blessed. From verses 28-32 we have outlined for us how Yahweh would bring that blessing through the work of the Holy Spirit outpoured at the times of the Lord Jesus Christ- the Messiah of Israel, who would bring salvation to all - Jews and Gentiles alike on the basis of faith (or belief) starting in Jerusalem (Mount Zion). Compare this chapter to Acts2verses14-41 and Romans 10verses8-17.The greetings and salutations commencing 2 Thessalonians are identical to Paul's other letters except for the pastoral epistles (1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Titus). In chapter 1 verses 3-4 the Apostle thanks God for the Thessalonican brothers and sisters, whose faith was growing and their love increasing. Despite persecution they were steadfast for the gospel. From verses 5-12 Paul urges for that patience to continue for it will receive the promised reward at the second coming, and kingdom, of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord when he comes with the angels will also avenge his faithful. The persecutors of the believers will then receive what they deserve. Chapter 2 tells that before the Lord will come there will be a huge forsaking of the true belief and a system of deceit, which pretends to be the truth will arise in the earth. The words translated "falling away" and "lawlessness" both in the Greek language have the numerical value of 666 (compare Revelation 13verses16-18). From the other identifying features in this chapter and those within the book of Revelation tells us that this is the Roman Catholic Church with the Pope as its head.Note that the delusion which allowed this system to develop came about because those who fell away "received not the love of the Truth" (v10). From verses 13-17 the Apostle urges them to stand firm for the faith.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

The Perrys are joined by Yana Conner, a writer and theologian passionate about understanding the character of God. Her new book, Living Beyond Offense, digs into the idea that forgiveness is at the heart of our faith. Why's that? Because every time we forgive, we put the gospel on display.Yana shares honestly about writing this book while wrestling with her own relationships. She talks about how “turning the other cheek” is meant to restore and not enable, why God calls us to be “shalom makers,” and how forgiveness is less about forgiving yourself but about living forgiven. Scripture references:Ephesians 1:9-10Genesis 3Romans 8:31-34 John 13:1-10, 21-27John 17Psalm 139Matthew 18This Episode is Sponsored By:https://policygenius.com/perry — Compare free life insurance quotes from top companies and see how much you could save.https://weekendtoremember.com — Get 50% off during FamilyLife's Black Friday sale!https://brickhousesale.com — Get 30% off during the Black Friday sale!

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I spent some quality time digging into the origins of a word in common use. In doing so, I contacted the Postal Museum in the United Kingdom and received a lovely reply that included a photo of a document in their archive. The document, a Post Office Circular from Friday, December 30, 1904, number 1641, introduces a new service offered by the Post Office. Let me read to you what it says, and I quote: "Telegrams to and from Ships by Wireless Telegraphy. "(To be noted at Telegraph Offices only.) "With the present Circular is enclosed a list showing the wireless telegraph stations in the United Kingdom worked on the Marconi Company's system, and the hours up to which telegrams can be received at those stations for transmission by wireless telegraphy to certain ships fitted with Marconi apparatus. By another notice in this Circular, Postmasters and others concerned are requested to enter the names of the stations in the Code Book with the necessary particulars. Ships will be issued for insertion in the Post Office Guide. "On and from the 1st January, 1905, Telegrams may be accepted from the public on the following conditions:- "Subject to the Inland Regulations with regard to counting, the charge, which must be prepaid in the usual way by means of stamps, will be at the rate of 6 1/2d. [six-and-a-half pence] a word, with a minimum of 6s. 6d. [six-and-a-half shillings] per telegram. "The name of the wireless station will in each case pass as one word in the address. "The word 'Radio,' which is not charged for, should be telegraphed in the Service Instructions." When I read that, it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The introduction of a Wireless Telegram service, under the service heading of "Radio", with a photo of the actual document that introduced it into the world. I also learned that there's a dozen pennies in a shilling and over the years before decimalisation in 1971, the composition of coins changed, which made converting this into today's money interesting. As an aside, the Royal Society has a wonderful article: "The science of money: Isaac Newton's mastering of the Mint" Back to radio, this is 1904 bleeding edge technology and it's priced accordingly. The starting price for a radio telegram on new years day 1905: six bob and six; or three florin and sixpence; or a crown, a bob and a tanner; is worth just over 34 Great British Pounds today, that's just on 45 US Dollars, or nearly 69 Australian Dollars. That's the minimum price. The price per word, sixpence and halfpenny [sixpence hayp-ny] is just over 2 Great British Pounds today, nearly 4 US Dollars or almost 6 Australian Dollars. Compare that to the price of SMS, which started at about 21 cents here in Australia, today it's about 3 cents per message of 160 characters. This seems like a lucrative business to be in, but I digress, again. From my current, and ongoing research, it appears that until this point, the early 1900's, the word "radio" was always accompanied by another word, for example in this context, "radio telegraphy", another combination of the day is "radio active", as well as "radio tellurium", which today we know as polonium. Moving on, the response I received from the Postal Museum included other gems, including a reference to the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act", from the 15th of August, 1904, where I found something fascinating, from Section 2 paragraph 1: "Where the applicant for a licence proves to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General that the sole object of obtaining the license is to enable him to conduct experiments in wireless telegraphy, a license for that purpose shall be granted, subject to such special terms, conditions and restrictions as the Postmaster-General may think proper, but shall not be subject to any rent or royalty." I think that's the birth of amateur radio licensing in the United Kingdom, right there. As an aside, because I cannot help myself, the definition for the expression "wireless telegraphy", is pretty interesting too, reminding me of a quote, variations going back to at least 1866, incorrectly attributed to Einstein that goes something like this: You see, wire telegraph is a kind of very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, and they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. Seems that the drafters of the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act" had the same thing in mind when they wrote: "The expression 'wireless telegraphy' means any system of communication by telegraph as defined in the Telegraph Acts, 1863 to 1904, without the aid of any wire connecting the points from and at which the messages or other communications are sent and received" Now, as I said, I'm still working on this, because the word "radio" as a concept had to have been conceived before the Post Office Circular was written, printed and published. It might transpire that this was the brainchild of a single individual, or it might be that this was a term whose time had arrived, or this might not be the first occurrence of the word "radio" as a concept. Today we think nothing of it when we use it to turn on the radio, listen to, or talk on the radio, radio for help, break radio silence, and plenty of other uses of this now ubiquitous word. Thanks again to the Postal Museum for finding and photographing the Post Office Circular for the 30th of December 1904, which at this stage appears to be the first occurrence of the word "radio" on its own, and for referring me to the 1904 Wireless Telegraphy act which appears to be the birth of "amateur radio" in the United Kingdom. You can find both documents on my project site at vk6flab.com. I should also mention the brave individuals who took the time to share with me how to refer to Old British Money, any mistakes are all mine. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Let's help more clinicians rediscover pride and purpose in the profession. Episode Summary The reality check: PTs often forget how rare it is to do deeply meaningful work that changes people's lives. Patient zero stories: Every great clinic has those first patients who became raving fans and fueled its growth. Personal satisfaction: PTs experience emotional rewards most careers never touch—gratitude, trust, and transformation. The burnout trap: Feeling stuck or repetitive? You're focusing on the tasks, not the people. The unicorn profession: Physical therapy blends purpose and profitability—helping people while earning well. Lessons & Takeaways Focus on people, not paperwork: Documentation matters, but your attention changes outcomes. Gratitude is the antidote: Burnout fades when you remember the lives you've improved. Connection compounds: One genuine patient relationship can lead to hundreds more. Purpose drives longevity: Treating with empathy keeps you motivated through the grind. Fulfillment is the real paycheck: Emotional impact outweighs hourly reimbursement. Mindset & Motivation Reframe burnout: Every eval is another rep at changing someone's life. Appreciate the mission: You're doing work that directly improves human potential. Compare less, serve more: Other professions might pay more—but few feel this rewarding. Stay grounded in gratitude: Remember why you started and how many people you've helped. Pro Tips for Clinicians Use AI to reclaim presence: Tools like MeetClair AI handle your notes so you can focus on your patients. Check in with your "patient zeros": Reach out to early supporters and thank them for being part of your story. Create community moments: Celebrate wins, share patient stories, and build emotional connection in your clinic. Remember the mission: You're a servant leader—helping people live better, not just move better. Notable Quotes "You're not focusing on the wrong profession—you're focusing on the wrong thing. It's about the people, not the paperwork." "The amount of personal gratification you get from helping others is worth billions." "There are people out there who make more money than you—and they're dead inside. That's not us." "It's a unicorn business: purpose and profit living in the same place." Action Items Shift focus from tasks to people during your next treatment session. Take a moment to reflect on one patient whose life you've changed.

Send us a textHave you ever meditated on the thief on the cross next to Jesus? In this week's episode of More Than a Song, I explore Melanie Penn's powerful track “Man On The Middle Cross,” a song sung from the perspective of that repentant criminal. His story—one of mockery turned to mourning, and ultimately to mercy—invites us to reflect deeply on the grace of salvation. Join me as we dive into Luke's Gospel and uncover the beauty of redemption through the eyes of a man who received eternal life in his final moments.Key PointsThe thief's perspective reveals grace. Melanie Penn's song gives voice to the repentant criminal, highlighting the radical mercy of Jesus and the simplicity of salvation through faith.Mourning and mocking are central themes in Luke's crucifixion account. These emotional responses reflect both the sorrow of loss and the rejection of truth, offering rich ground for reflection and study.The thief was a real person with a real encounter with Christ. Engaging Scripture with the understanding that its characters were real helps deepen our connection to the biblical narrative.The criminals were likely rebels, not petty thieves. Their crimes were serious—possibly insurrection—making the thief's redemption even more astonishing and powerful.Jesus was treated like a criminal, though He was innocent. He fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy by being “numbered with the transgressors,” showing His identification with sinners.Salvation is a free gift, not earned. Romans 6:23 reminds us that eternal life is given by grace, not merit—just as the thief received it in his final moments.Scripture ReferencesLuke 23:32–43 Luke 22–24 Isaiah 53:12 Romans 6:23Romans 3:23 Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs)Read in Context. Read and Listen to Scripture. Read Scripture Out Loud. Repetition. Word Study. Compare and Contrast. Remember the People Were Real. Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideStory behind the song "Man on the Middle Cross" - Melanie Penn on Friday With Friends - Bonus EpisodeComplete lyrics to all of the songs on her album, The Rising – A Resurrection Album, with Scripture references for you to explore - A gift from Melanie Penn herself!
