He describes how the pressure shows up again when young adults choose careers, values, or lifestyles their parents did not expect, and argues that parents cannot control their young adults but can still influence them by shifting from caretaking to encouraging independence. He closes with a parent report card for measuring parenting against love, consistency, apology, and letting go. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://parentslettinggo.com/am-i-a-good-enough-parent/ Quotes to ponder: "Striving for perfection or even excellence is a recipe for a life of guilt." "Don't strive for perfection in your parenting because your kids will also believe they must be perfect." "Forgive ourselves for not being perfect parents and forgive our kids for decisions or actions we don't support."

Pardoned outlaw on the run. DeShawn Leeth hit a cop in Jesus' name. Christian apologist Frank Turek: Why pray? Gen Z atheists pretend God is real. Lady demands apology.

You stopped drinking. You've changed. So why do you still lie awake thinking about the things you did? Self-forgiveness in recovery isn't pretending the damage didn't happen—and it doesn't require everyone you hurt to forgive you, either. In this episode, we're talking about guilt, damaged relationships, rebuilding trust, and the uncomfortable reality of becoming someone different when other people may still remember the old you. We'll also dig into the difference between sobriety and recovery, why quitting drinking doesn't automatically fix every destructive behavior, and a powerful way of making amends that has very little to do with another apology. If you're tired of letting the worst things you did while drinking define who you are today, this conversation is for you.

Have you ever looked back at something you said or did to your spouse and thought, "I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself"? Maybe you lost your temper. Maybe you lied. Maybe you were unfaithful. Maybe you neglected your marriage or made a decision that deeply hurt the person you promised to love. Your spouse has forgiven you. God has forgiven you. But you still can't seem to forgive yourself. In Episode 309 of the Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra Osterkamp talk about how to move beyond guilt and shame after failing your spouse and how to embrace the forgiveness and grace Christ offers. There is a difference between taking responsibility for what you did and allowing what you did to define who you are. Genuine repentance acknowledges the seriousness of our failures, but shame can keep us trapped in mistakes that God has already forgiven. In this episode, we discuss: Why you may struggle to forgive yourself even after receiving forgiveness. The difference between conviction and condemnation. How guilt and shame from your past can continue hurting your marriage today. Why accepting God's grace doesn't mean minimizing what you did. How to take responsibility without allowing failure to become your identity. Practical steps for rebuilding trust after hurting your spouse. How repentance should lead to change rather than endless shame. Biblical truth about forgiveness, grace, healing, and new beginnings. How to move forward after you've seriously failed your spouse. What it looks like to receive the forgiveness Christ offers. Your worst mistake doesn't have to become your identity. You can't change what happened yesterday. You can take responsibility for it. You can repent. You can seek forgiveness. You can make restitution where necessary. You can learn from what happened. And by God's grace, you can become a different spouse moving forward. If you've confessed your sin and received God's forgiveness but continue punishing yourself for what you've done, this conversation is for you. Whether your failure happened recently or years ago, Episode 309 will help you confront shame, accept forgiveness, pursue healing, and move forward with humility and a renewed commitment to love your spouse well.

You forgive fast, or you burn slow. Jon Gordon might be setting the record for most appearances on this show at this point, and there's a reason for that. He's one of my closest friends, someone I call when I need real advice, and honestly one of only two people left where I still ask myself "what would John do" before I make a big decision, especially now that my dad is gone. When someone like that comes back on the show, you pay attention. His new book, The Power of Positive Habits, might be the most tactical thing he's ever written. Ninety-three habits, pulled from nearly two decades of working with the best coaches and leaders in sports and business. Out of everything we covered, one story stopped me cold. Jon shared the moment he finally forgave his biological father, a man who wasn't there for his wedding, who abandoned him when he was a year old. "Holding onto resentment", he told me, "is like gripping a hot coal meant for someone else. You're the one who ends up burned." He wishes he had forgiven faster. So do I, on my own stuff. That's why we're calling this one Forgive Fast. Here's what you'll gain from this episode: Forgive Fast: Why holding onto resentment, bitterness, or an old grudge is quietly costing you more than the person who wronged you. The Thank You Walk: The daily gratitude practice that shifted Jon's mindset, saved his marriage, and became the source of nearly every book idea he's ever had. Write Your Purpose Statement: Why putting your "why" on paper, not just carrying it in your head, is what keeps you from burning out when things get hard. The Four Questions: What elite coaches like Sean McVay and Dave Roberts ask themselves every single day to keep improving instead of coasting on past success. Tune Out Distractions: The sea turtle story Jon shares that will completely change how you think about chasing the wrong lights in your own life. Jon said the sooner you forgive, the sooner you start growing again. Whatever you're still carrying, this episode is your permission to finally put it down.

Deuteronomy 20:4 was spoken by Moses, not to one soldier before one battle, but to an entire nation standing at the edge of years of warfare, enemy after enemy, again and again. What the priest was instructed to tell them changes everything: the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you. Not that He will help you fight, or hand you strength for your fight, or cheer from the sidelines. He does the fighting. That distinction matters enormously, because fighting and wrestling are not the same thing. When you wrestle something, your arms are wrapped around it, and you cannot put it down because you are the one holding on. Some of us are not exhausted because our battle is hard. We are exhausted because we are wrestling with something God is already fighting. Moses did not promise the Israelites they would never face the same enemy again. He told them who would be doing the fighting when they did. That is enough. Today's Bible Verse "For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."— Deuteronomy 20:4, NIV Ponder Today God does not just help you fight — He is the one who fights. The promise of Deuteronomy 20:4 is not that He will strengthen your grip on the battle. It is that He goes and He fights. That is a fundamentally different posture than the one most of us have been taking. Fighting and wrestling are not the same thing. When we wrestle a worry, our arms are around it and we cannot put it down because we are the ones holding on. Exhaustion in the Christian life often comes not from hard battles but from wrestling what God is already fighting. Handing something to God and then taking it back is not failure — it is the pattern we are learning to shorten. The goal is not a perfect record of surrender. It is noticing sooner when our hands are full again and giving it back one more time. Moses did not promise the Israelites would never face the same enemy twice. He told them who would be doing the fighting when they did. A war that keeps returning does not mean God has stopped showing up. He keeps coming back to fight it. "This isn't mine" is a complete and sufficient response to a returning worry. You do not need to figure it out, wrestle it into submission, or explain why you picked it up again. Open your hands and give it back. That is the whole move. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, here I am with this again — the same thing I brought You last week and the week before. I am honestly tired of listening to myself pray about it. But You knew this would be a long war when You said You would fight it. You promised You would go with me and fight for me. Not once have You declared that I had to win it on my own. Lord, I have had my arms wrapped around something You never handed me, and then wondered why I am exhausted. Forgive me for that. Help me open my hands. When I pick it back up, help me notice sooner. Shorten the distance between grabbing it and giving it back. You are the One who goes and who fights for me. Help me live like that is true. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom and encouragement delivered right to your inbox.

How is the Christian life really lived? Do we only forgive people who ask us to? How should we understand "Depart from Me"? How do we define sin? What about a believer marrying an unbeliever? What does it mean that "death reigned from Adam until Moses"? Who are the "other sheep" in John 10:16?

 In Matthew 18, when asked about the number of times we should forgive someone who's wronged us, Jesus's answer is quite shocking. He told his disciple Peter that we are challenged to forgive, not once or even seven times, but seventy seven times! These Disturbing Red Letters feel almost impossible to practice. Isn't this kind of forgiveness just condoning the action of those who wronged us? Doesn't it just give them a free pass? Or, is it possible that Jesus is making connections to a larger story, one that is as ancient as humanity?In this week's sermon Pastor Josh Scott unpacks the context of these Disturbing Red Letters, and you won't want to miss what's there!⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us

Refuse to Forgive

Brian reflects on the whirlwind week of moving his son into Grove City College, wrestling with the mix of pride, sadness, and trust required to release a child into independence and let their faith become their own. He shares the surprising comeback of Christian music legend Sandy Patty, releasing new music a decade after her farewell tour at age 70. Brian reacts to a CBS/YouGov poll showing a striking number of Democrats holding a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism, and shares JD Greer's "Adore, Acknowledge, Appeal" framework for prayer drawn from Nehemiah. He digs into the "friendship depth gap" — the modern problem of having many shallow connections but few deep ones — and a Christianity Today piece cautioning against Texas lawmakers seeking to redefine Islam to strip it of religious liberty protections, warning that restricting freedom for one faith opens the door to restricting it for all. He closes with a thoughtful piece on how to forgive someone who never says sorry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Continue your conflict resolution journey in the second installment of Revitalize and Replant's two-part series. Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock complete Ron Edmondson's seven proven strategies for handling church disputes. Learn how to investigate conflict thoroughly, approach difficult conversations strategically, stay focused on solutions, and practice biblical forgiveness to restore relationships and church health. 5 More Conflict Resolution Strategies 3. Understand the Conflict Discern the real source from the other person's perspective. Don't assume—ask clarifying questions and put yourself in their shoes. Define what's actually at stake before intervening. 4. Find the Right Time and Place Never address conflict when emotions are high, in public spaces (hallways, restaurants, cafes), or without prayer. Wait for the temperature to cool. Choose a private setting days later. Your body language and tone matter as much as your words. 5. Stick to the Issue at Hand Deal with one issue only. Don't unload multiple grievances. When conflicts pile up, sides form, and clarity disappears. Know your limits—refer complex situations, such as marital counseling, to trained professionals. 6. Work Toward a Solution Shift from blame to resolution. Communicate truth with love. Recognize you won't agree on everything—some conflicts don't require consensus to maintain unity in Christ. Your emotional intelligence and calm demeanor lower the temperature. 7. Grant Forgiveness Unforgiveness creates bitterness and robs joy. Forgive as Christ has forgiven you. This frees you personally and opens the door to reconciliation. Without forgiveness, pastors become embittered and ineffective. Gain eternal perspective—this conflict is temporary; unity in eternity is permanent.

When someone breaks a promise or betrays your trust, forgiveness can feel far more difficult than simply saying, “I forgive you.” Laura Bailey shares how a broken confidence left her wrestling with hurt and resentment—and how a rainbow after a summer storm reminded her of God’s faithfulness, forgiveness, and promises. God remained faithful even when His people were not. Through the rainbow given to Noah and the ultimate promise fulfilled through Jesus Christ, Scripture reminds us that God is faithful to forgive and restore. Remembering how much God has forgiven us can change the way we respond when others hurt or disappoint us, helping us release resentment and pursue peace while still recognizing that forgiveness does not always require reconciliation. Highlights Why broken promises and betrayed trust can make forgiveness difficult How a rainbow became a reminder of God's faithfulness What Noah's covenant teaches us about God's promises How remembering God's forgiveness can help us forgive others Why forgiveness doesn't always mean reconciliation How healthy boundaries can coexist with forgiveness What Romans 12:18 teaches us about pursuing peace with others Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: The Promise That Teaches Us to ForgiveBy: Laura Bailey Bible Reading:I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. - Genesis 9:13 ( NIV) I’ll never forget one of the first times I experienced the heartache of someone breaking their promise. As I think back to the day my friend gave away the seat at the lunch table that had been promised to me, it seems so trivial. While I’ve moved on from past adolescent hurt, the reality is that the painful feelings of broken promises and unmet expectations are present in adulthood. Unfortunately, the stakes are much higher than eating lunch alone. A breach of confidence can lead to family tensions, severed relationships, and future mistrust of people. As an adult, I long for the simplicity of recess drama, where misplaced trust held little consequence. Recently, a close friend I confided in let slip some details of our conversation to a group of ladies. I’d specifically asked that she keep our conversation between us, and she assured me that she could be trusted. So, when, later that week, a mutual friend sent a text that read, “I am so sorry to hear you are having a hard time; I’ll be praying for you,” my initial response was not one of gratitude but grievance. I was deeply hurt by my friend's inability to keep her lips zipped. However, I decided not to say anything to her, but by my frosty “hello” at church the following Sunday, she knew something wasn’t right between us. She invited me to coffee and apologized profusely for her carelessness; she genuinely didn’t mean to overshare. I could tell that she was sincerely sorry, but even as I looked into her tear-pricked eyes, my heart remained hardened towards her. We left our time together with a hug, and I said that “all had been forgiven,” but truthfully, I was still fuming inside. While we were at the coffee shop, a summer storm came through, leaving a curtain of fresh steam, inescapable puddles, and a beautiful rainbow. On my drive home, I couldn’t help but feel like the rainbow was following me. “I know, God, I know,” I muttered into the air. One of the first stories we learn as children is about Noah and the Ark and God sending a rainbow– a reminder that God keeps His promises. I began to think about the first rainbow. I wonder if, as he looked to the sky, Noah questioned whether God would keep his promise never to flood the earth again. Scripture often speaks of God’s covenants with His people, His first being that He would send a Savior to save us from our sins (Genesis 3:15). We see the fulfillment of that promise through Jesus, and every rainbow we see is an affirmation that God is faithful in keeping all His promises. I began to recall the countless times I hadn’t kept God’s commandments, my word, or broken a promise. Yet God is quick to forgive me and even promises to remember my sins against Him no more (Hebrews 8:12). If God, the creator of the Universe, can forgive my many acts of disobedience, both unintentional and intentional, who am I to withhold forgiveness from my friend? I was stewing over a few misspoken words when my own sinful nature was the reason why God sent His son Jesus to cleanse me of my sin—the ultimate act of love and full redemption. I could forgive my friend because I’d been forgiven, and when I’d been unfaithful, God continued to be faithful. It can be difficult to move past hurt, especially at the hands of someone we trust. There will be times when forgiveness is appropriate, but reconciliation may not be due to the need for boundaries or distance. But let me encourage you: let us live out the words of Paul in Romans 12:18: “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Intersecting Faith & Life:How does remembering God’s faithfulness to His promises—even when we are unfaithful—help you when you struggle to forgive others?Further Reading:A Prayer When You Don’t Feel Like ForgivingHebrews 8:12 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Welcome to Day 2929 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2929– “Lord, Teach Us to Pray” – Luke 11:1-13 Putnam Church Message – 08/09/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Lord, Teach Us To Pray.”   Last week, our message was “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best,” and we learned that when good things begin to crowd out the best thing, have the courage to exchange what is good for what is best. Today, we continue with our thirty-third message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Lord, Teach Us To Pray.” Our core passage today is Luke 11:1-13, on page 1614 of your pew Bibles. Jesus' Teaching on Prayer 1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father,[a] hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.[b] 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c] And lead us not into temptation.[d]'” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.' 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. 9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today as children who need to learn. We confess that we often pray last instead of first. We try to assemble life by our own wisdom, strength, and effort, and only when we have made a mess do we turn to You. Lord Jesus, teach us to pray. Teach us not only the words of prayer, but the heart of prayer. Teach us to come to the Father with reverence, trust, humility, boldness, and surrender. Holy Spirit, open our hearts to receive Your Word, and make prayer not a last resort, but the daily breath of our souls. In Jesus' name, amen. Introduction: When All Else Fails, Read the Instructions There is an old saying many of us know well: “When all else fails, read the instructions.” Some of us live by that saying a little too confidently. We look at a box marked “Some Assembly Required,” and instead of beginning with the instruction sheet, we dump the parts on the floor, glance at the picture on the box, and say, “I can figure this out.” And sometimes we can. / But every now and then, we get humbled. Imagine Christmas Eve. The children are asleep. A hidden box is dragged from the closet. The parts are laid out with great confidence. Screws, bolts, panels, wheels, rods, brackets — all carefully arranged. The project begins smoothly. But somewhere around midnight, the finished product starts looking less like the picture on the box and more like an abstract sculpture. Finally, with dawn approaching, the builder digs the instructions out of the trash. At the top of the page, in small print, some sarcastic soul has written, “Now that you have made a mess of things, please start over and follow these instructions.” That is funny because it is true. And it is often how we approach prayer. We say, “When all else fails, pray.” But Jesus did not live that way. Jesus did not pray only when He was desperate. / He prayed before major decisions. / He prayed after ministry. / He prayed in solitude. / He prayed with others. / He prayed when crowds pressed in. / He prayed in joy. / He prayed in anguish. / He prayed before the cross. Luke has emphasized this repeatedly. / Jesus withdrew to lonely places to pray. / He prayed before choosing the Twelve. / He prayed on the mountain before the Transfiguration. / He prayed as His mission moved toward Jerusalem. / Prayer was not a spare tire in Jesus' life. / Prayer was the steering wheel. Last week, in “Exchanging What's Good for What's Best,” we saw Mary sitting at Jesus' feet while Martha was worried and upset about many things. Mary chose the one necessary thing — listening to Jesus. Now, in Luke 11, the disciples watch Jesus pray, and they realize they need instruction. They do not say, “Lord, teach us to preach.” They do not say, “Lord, teach us to heal.” They do not say, “Lord, teach us to cast out demons.” They say, “Lord, teach us to pray.” That request is still one of the most important requests any disciple can make. Let's explore four truths that will help us to understand why this one question is so important. These are found on your bulletin insert on the side that is titled: Lord, Teach us to Pray. Main Point 1: Prayer Begins With Relationship and Reverence Jesus begins the model prayer with one word: “Father.” / That is astonishing. Jesus does not begin with “Distant Creator,” though God is Creator. He does not begin with “Almighty King,” though God is King. He does not begin with “Sovereign Master,” though God is Lord. He teaches His disciples to begin with “Father.” In Greek, the word is pater. In Aramaic, Jesus used the intimate word Abba, which we see in Mark 14 when He prays in Gethsemane. Paul later says in Romans 8 and Galatians 4 that by the Spirit, believers cry, “Abba, Father.” This means prayer begins not with technique, but with relationship. We do not come to God as strangers trying to get the attention of a reluctant deity. We come as children to a Father who already knows us, loves us, and welcomes us. But Jesus also teaches reverence. “May your name be kept holy.” (Hallowed be your name.) God is Father, but He is not casual. / He is near, but not common. / He is loving, but

This Detroit Red Wings podcast (without Ryan, forgive the different feel!) asks the question nobody wants to answer: what does this season actually look like if Dylan Larkin stays in Detroit? Hockeytown news & analysis covers the GM search, ownership's autonomy pitch, the Steven Stamkos report, & the barren wasteland of Red Wings free agency options still available. (00:00) - Intro Ryan-less episode means Brad and Evan hold down the fort. Forgive any changes in sound quality or editing in the meantime! (03:40) - The Larkin Reconciliation Scenario If Dylan Larkin rescinds his trade request, how loud do the boos get on opening night? We walk through the good outcomes, the ugly ones, and why the Steve Yzerman connection makes forgiveness harder for a lot of fans. (21:35) - How Long Could This Drag On? If no deal materializes by November, does the trade list finally expand? The pressure of playing every home game in front of a hostile crowd changes things fast. (27:45) - GM Search & Ownership Autonomy Why is ownership hammering the "full autonomy" narrative to candidates? We break down what that pitch might be telling us, and why the only open GM job in hockey shouldn't need this much selling. (35:10) - The Stamkos Report Did ownership really say no to signing Steven Stamkos in the summer of 2024? If true, it's a bigger red flag than the money. (42:05) - Remaining Free Agents Sifting through the ruins of the market. Eeli Tolvanen still being unsigned being a head-scratcher and more. (49:30) - Overtime 36-team realignment scenarios, whether preseason games are worth attending, which teams finish below Detroit, and a CBA idea for penalizing trade requests.  --- WWP Night at the LCA dates announced!

How do you forgive someone who hurt you without forgetting what happened?In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, let's take a deeper look at forgiveness and why holding onto anger, resentment, betrayal, and unforgiveness can keep us stuck in the past.But forgiveness is often misunderstood.Forgiving someone doesn't mean pretending the hurt didn't happen. It doesn't mean forgetting, excusing wrongdoing, immediately trusting someone again, or automatically reconciling with them.Instead, forgiveness can be a conscious decision to release the emotional weight of what happened and place the hurt in God's hands while continuing to grow in wisdom, discernment, boundaries, and healing.Let me explain how to forgive what you can't forget and share practical steps for releasing resentment without denying the reality of your experience.She also addresses an important truth: forgiveness and justice can coexist. Forgiving someone does not mean tolerating abuse, ignoring injustice, abandoning healthy boundaries, or refusing to seek appropriate legal or professional help.Most importantly, forgiveness is about your freedom and your future, not giving the person who hurt you continued power over your life.In this episode, you'll learn:Why unforgiveness can keep you emotionally stuckThe difference between forgiveness and forgettingHow anger, resentment, criticism, and constantly replaying the past can reveal unforgivenessFive questions to help identify whether you're holding onto a grudgeWhat forgiveness is and what it is notWhy forgiveness does not require an apologyWhy forgiveness does not automatically mean reconciliationThe difference between forgiveness and trustWhy trust must be earnedHow forgiveness and healthy boundaries can exist togetherWhy forgiveness doesn't mean allowing abuse or injustice to continueThe potential emotional, relational, and spiritual benefits of releasing resentmentPractical steps for forgiving someone who hurt youHow to stop allowing your past experience to become your identityChapters:0:00 - Intro1:11 - Why forgiveness matters1:41 - Common misconceptions about forgiveness5:08 - What is unforgiveness?8:24 - 5 Questions to identify unforgiveness9:31 - What Forgiveness Is NOT16:05 - Reason why you should forgive18:04 - Practical steps to forgive21:57 - How to take action todayQuotations:“Forgiveness is not a memory relapse.

Nobody earns that. You give it freely. But trust me, now that's a different story. That is earned.” - Dawn DamonResources:

Forgiveness is not an all-or-nothing process. You can partially release by choosing to stop ruminating, and even if you don't feel entirely at peace yet, it is important to recognize that you have made meaningful progress. Every step you take away from feeling resentment is a step toward your sense of freedom. - Kinga Mnich, PhD 1. Know exactly what you are forgiving2. Commit to forgiving for your own benefit3.

If you are in a fight that resets every time you think you are gaining ground — a diagnosis, an addiction that circles back, a marriage that heals just enough to break again — Psalm 116 opens with someone who understands. The psalmist describes the cords of death entangling him, the anguish of the grave coming over him. And then he does something remarkable: he tells you the outcome before he tells you the story. Not what God fixed. What God did first. He heard. He turned His ear. Picture what that posture looks like: not a king on a high throne receiving a formal report, but a parent leaning in close in a dark room at three in the morning, not wanting to miss a word. His presence in the battle is a gift, not a consolation prize, but the thing the psalmist says made him commit to calling on God for the rest of his life. Today's Bible Verse "I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live." — Psalm 116:1-2, NIV Ponder Today God hearing us is not a consolation prize; it is the promise. The psalmist does not begin by celebrating what God fixed. He begins by celebrating that God listened. Being heard by the God of the universe is not a lesser gift than the rescue we were hoping for. Turning His ear is an act of intimate, personal attention. It is the posture of leaning in, of focusing on a voice He does not want to miss. God is not receiving formal reports from a distant throne. He is in the dark room with you. Battles that reset are one of the most exhausting forms of suffering. Starting over after thinking you were gaining ground is a particular kind of grief. Bringing that specific weariness to God, not just the dramatic moments but the grinding ones, is exactly what He invites. God's presence in the battle is a gift, even when His answer is not the one we wanted. Being honest about that is not a failure of faith. The psalmist was honest about his despair. God did not require polished prayer before He leaned in. His love is not measured by whether He fixed the problem. One of the most freeing realizations in the life of faith is uncoupling God's love from our circumstances. He is leaning in right now, mid-sentence, before you find the right words. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, You know the room I am sitting in. You know the thing that keeps coming back. Just when I think it is handled, I am starting over — and I am so tired of starting over. Your Word says You heard a man who had nothing left but a cry, and You turned Your ear toward him. God, turn Your ear toward me. Not because I have prayed well or believed hard enough, but because that is who You are. Forgive me for measuring Your love by whether You fixed my problem. Help me hold the truth that You are listening even when nothing changes and that You are leaning in when the room is dark and quiet. I do not know how this ends on this side of heaven. But You do. Let that be enough for tonight. I love You, Lord, because You hear me. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More?

In today's homily, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, reflects on one of the central teachings of Jesus: forgiveness without limits. Because God has forgiven us first, we are called to forgive our brothers and sisters from the heart; not just with our lips. Forgiveness does not justify the wrong that was done, but it frees us from anger, resentment, and the wounds of the past. Fr. Anthony encourages us to make forgiveness a daily practice, asking God for the grace to forgive others as Christ forgives us. This teaching is especially important in a culture where relationships can easily be broken—siblings stop speaking to one another, children become estranged from parents, coworkers hold grudges, and people may quickly reject those who have hurt or offended them. Past wounds can continue to affect our present and future when we allow resentment to remain in our hearts. Fr. Anthony encourages us to make forgiveness a daily spiritual practice. Every evening we can examine our conscience: Did I sin against someone today? Is there someone I am refusing to forgive? We can ask God for forgiveness and for the grace to forgive others, praying with Jesus: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” We can bring specific people before the Lord; family members, friends, coworkers, or anyone who has wounded us—and choose again to forgive them.

Help! My Heart And Mind Are Fighting Each Other! Psalm 25:16-17 “Look at me and help me! I'm all alone and in big trouble. My heart and mind are fighting each other; Call a truce to this civil war.” Today, it was hard to pick a verse. I thought I would be writing about Isaiah 35, as my friend wrote to me last week and asked me if I take requests for the podcast. She had read Isaiah 35, and it was really hitting her. She was feeling all the feels, and she wanted to see what I thought about that chapter. I was honored, as that was the first time someone had asked me what I thought of a passage in the Bible. When I looked at the chapter, I realized I had already done an episode on that chapter, so I sent it to her. It was episode number 611, “A Way Through The Wilderness,” in case you wanted to check it out. After that, I tried to find a verse for today, and I was struggling. Today's verse reminds us that we can turn to the Lord when we are in trouble, even when we are in big trouble. This is important to remember, and I don't think we can ever say it enough. Nothing is too big for God. There is nothing in this world that He can't fix for us. There are all sorts of reasons why we may not turn to Him and ask for help when we are in big trouble. We don't see how He could help. We don't want to bother Him. We don't feel we deserve His help, and so on. I am sure you have thought up very good reasons why you shouldn't go to the Lord for help when you are in big trouble. One that just popped into my mind is, “I got myself into this mess; I need to get myself out.” This is definitely a human way of thinking, but it is not how God thinks. He has gotten us out of plenty of messes that we got ourselves into. When we get ourselves into big trouble, all we have to do is be humble and turn back to the Lord. Repent and admit what we have done. Ask for His help, and He will help you. I feel as though I can't stress this enough. God wants us to ask for help when we need it. Yes, I know He knows when we need help, probably even before we do, and yet He is a perfect Father, and He respects our free will. If we don't want Him to step in, if we want to do it all ourselves, He will allow us to do that, even if it hurts his heart to watch us struggle. When in trouble, stop and ask the Lord for help. His plan will be much better than any plan we can come up with on our own! I also liked this verse because of the next line, “My heart and mind are fighting with each other; Call a truce to this civil war.” Has this ever happened to you? It happens to me all the time. My heart wants to do something, and my brain convinces me that I don't really want to do it, and then they fight over it. It is frustrating because I know what the right thing to do is, and yet my brain tries to convince me to do the opposite. I think the voice of God is in my heart, and yet, at times, the enemy tries to invade my brain, so they argue. I wish I could say I always choose the right thing to do, but that is not always the case. Sometimes I lose out to slothfulness and gluttony. This past year or two, I feel like they have won more than I care to talk about. What do we do when this happens? What do we do when our hearts and our minds are fighting with each other? When this happens, we can turn to the Lord, just as it says in this verse. We can ask the Lord to call a truce. We can ask the Lord to give us the wisdom to know what we should do and the courage to do what is right. Our brains are trying to keep us comfortable, so when we try to do uncomfortable things, our brains complain and try to convince us that we don't want to do the uncomfortable thing. The problem with this is that we won't grow if we don't ever do something that is uncomfortable. We grow when we are outside of our comfort zone. This is true with all things, not just our jobs. When we step outside our comfort zone and try something new with our spirituality or our prayer life, we grow closer to the Lord. When we step outside our comfort zone and try something new with our families, it can help us grow closer. Our brain is not bad; it is trying to save us from uncomfortable feelings. It is trying to help us. However, we all know what happens when we are saved from all uncomfortable feelings. Have you ever seen a child who was protected from all uncomfortable things? Actually, I feel as though I have been doing this to my kids recently. The kids had a pretty challenging childhood. Mostly because of their behaviors, but that doesn't change the fact that it was rough. They were very unkind to each other, and it took a long time for Tony and me to figure out how to parent them in an effective way. So, I would try to shield them from uncomfortable situations because I felt like they had enough to go through. However, doing this robbed them of building up the resiliency and tenacity that comes along with doing uncomfortable things. I now have two young adults and a 15-year-old, and in some ways, they are so resilient. Then there are all the things they struggle with because I was trying to protect them from the pain. The same will be true with you and me if we continue to let our brains tell our hearts what to do. That still small voice in our hearts is the Holy Spirit. We need to start listening to that voice more than the louder voice in our minds. The voice that, although it is trying to protect us, does not really know what we need.  We need to pray for the strength and courage to listen to and follow our hearts more. We need to pray that the Lord will help us with discernment. We need to pray that the Lord opens our ears to hear what our hearts are telling us to do. We need to ask the Lord to call a truce! Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening and their families. Lord, help us to listen to your voice in our hearts. Help us to do what is right, what is necessary, not what is comfortable. Lord, we pray you give us the gifts of discernment, courage, & strength so that we can do the things you want us to do. We love you, Lord, and we ask that you call a truce and help bring our hearts and our minds into one with your will. We ask you all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name. Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you, and so do I! Have a blessed day! Today's Word from the Lord is, “My children, I have a mission for you. My mission is to love. Every person that you meet today and every day of your life they are sent to you for you to pour my love out upon them. Forgive them, have mercy on them, and do not judge them. I love them, and I want you to love them too.” www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Who are you still allowing to live rent-free in your mind?Maybe it's an ex. A parent. A former boss. A friend who betrayed your trust.Or maybe...The hardest person to forgive is the one staring back at you in the mirror.Forgiveness isn't about saying what happened was okay.It isn't about forgetting.And it certainly doesn't mean allowing someone to hurt you again.Forgiveness is about taking back your peace.In this week's episode of Raw & Unscripted, host Christopher Rausch shares 10 powerful truths about forgiveness that can help you release resentment, stop carrying emotional baggage, forgive yourself, create healthier boundaries, and finally move forward with greater freedom.If you're tired of living in the past...this conversation is for you.

I am a very active person. I am someone who prefers constant movement. I like to be productive throughout my day. I've always felt down time needed to be earned. But what is it really? Am I running away from something? A repressed memory? Uncomfortable thoughts? Demons? Accountability?I Would never know if I don't take the time to sit alone with my thoughts and reflect, face discomfort and overcome fears. Reflecting, sitting in your thoughts and feeling them is very scary. That's why we numb ourselves day in and day out. But it's the only way to move forward in life. It's the only way to truly level up. Forgive yourself for your past mistakes and other's will forgive you. Align your subconscious thoughts with your conscious thoughts. Face your demons. Overcome your addictions. Appreciate and respect that person in the mirror. Reflect.Where to find me:Instagram: @herrerahealthandwellnessYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@herrerahealthandwellnessEmail: herrerahealthandwellness@gmail.comFollow where ever you listen to podcasts.

Apologize to yourself the same way you'd ask for forgiveness if you hurt someone else. You deserve your own grace, too. Forgive yourself for not knowing better before you learned better.

Welcome to The Daily. We are 5 days away from beginning our next book of the Bible. We are moving to the New Testament, 1 Peter. We are going to discover how to live holy in a hostile world. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. And if you are a Project23 donor giving $35 or more per month, this has already been shipped to you. So become a donor and partner with us in Project23. Our text today is Hosea 14:4 I will heal their apostasy;     I will love them freely,     for my anger has turned from them. — Hosea 14:4 One of the greatest misconceptions people have about God is that He is reluctant to forgive. Many imagine God as stoic, disappointed, standing before humanity with crossed arms, waiting for us to prove we've changed before He offers grace. But Hosea declares: "I will heal their apostasy." Notice who does the healing. God does. Israel spent thirteen chapters of this book wandering, rebelling, compromising, and running from Him. Yet when they finally return, God doesn't say, "Fix yourselves." He says, "I will heal you." Apostasy means turning away. And God doesn't merely forgive it. He heals it, too. Then he says, "I will love them freely." Many people, and even believers, spend their lives trying to earn what God freely gives. They work for approval, perform for acceptance, and strive for God's love. I learned this lesson the hard way. For years, I thought spiritual growth was mostly about trying harder and proving myself useful to God. Eventually, that exhausted me. What changed me wasn't trying harder. It was finally receiving the love of God that I had spent years trying to earn. Maybe that's where you are today. You believe God forgives other people. You're just not sure He forgives you. You believe God restores other people. You're just not sure He wants to restore you. Hosea 14 answers that question. God is more willing to forgive than you think. More willing to restore than you think. More willing to heal than you think. Jesus died so wandering people, like you and me, could come home. So stop contending with God's grace. Receive it. And let the healing begin. Let's work-based salvation go, and abide in him, and discover freedom in the Spirit. DO THIS: Write down one failure, regret, sin, or area of shame you continue carrying and surrender it completely to God's forgiveness today. ASK THIS: Do I believe God forgives me as freely as He says He does? What wound, failure, or shame still needs healing? Am I trying to earn what God already offers through grace? PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for loving me freely. Help me stop striving for what Christ has already secured and teach me to receive your forgiveness, healing, and restoration with humility and gratitude. Amen. PLAY THIS: "His Mercy Is More"

On today's Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie our topic is: Are You Ready to Forgive?

Paige started her journey to financial independence at 45 with student loans, negative net worth, and an average income in Los Angeles—yet she'll reach FI by 2025.

Because if you get hung up on that, you're just going to get stuck." — Sam Key Takeaways Calculate your own FI number using 25x your annual expenses, then work backwards to determine your timeline If you have kids, automate investing for them early—open accounts and make saving the default, not a decision Explore creative housing solutions in your area: roommates, house hacking, or arbitraging neighborhoods for lower rent Learn one new DIY skill per month using YouTube—start with something currently costing you money (car maintenance, home repairs) If you're over 50, maximize catch-up contributions to retirement accounts and research the age 55 rule for your 401(k) Track where free resources appear in your community—thrift stores, community boards, bulk trash days, online marketplaces Set up automatic transfers to investment accounts to remove decision fatigue and make saving the default Resources and Links ChooseFI Episode 041 (original) Mr. Money Mustache Blog Mad Fientist Blog Big ERN (Early Retirement Now) Jim Collins stock series Frugal Woods Personal Capital YouTube (DIY learning) Jocko Willink podcast

This is a special live Q&A recorded inside Apogee, where the hosts turned the tables and interviewed Larry alongside his wife Jessica for a rare joint conversation. Married 23 years with four sons, the two open up about what actually creates safety in a home, and their answer surprises the room: it starts with relentlessly prioritizing the marriage. From there they get honest about the early years when Larry admits he floundered and didn't lead well, how Jessica learned to call him forward without emasculating him, and why connection always has to come before correction. They talk repair as the true measure of a relationship, letting kids witness the full cycle of a disagreement, and Larry shares the hardest parts of his own story, an estranged mother and a father who left twice, and what forgiveness has and hasn't looked like. If you want a real look inside a marriage that leads, this one delivers.   Timeline Summary [1:05] – Larry and Jessica join Apogee, and the watermelon splitter jokes begin [5:03] – The Freud quote on a child's need for protection, and Larry's book for his boys [6:19] – What's really happening in a home when a child feels deeply safe [7:01] – The frying pan on the back burner: how marriages slide after kids arrive [8:29] – Marriage as a skill, not just a feeling, and the tactical work it requires [9:09] – Telling his 12 year old he prioritizes mom, and why that creates safety [10:04] – The 18 year old who wants to be home because of how his parents love [11:05] – Jessica on kids modeling what they see, and her daughter wanting flowers [13:16] – Jessica's loving, family oriented upbringing versus Larry's chaotic one [15:08] – Jessica's honesty: he did not lead very well in the early years [15:51] – Calling him forward with love instead of a finger in his face [17:28] – Connection before correction, and picking one when forced to choose [20:55] – Why calling someone forward implies connection and trust already exist [22:08] – Without connection you have no influence, even with your own kids [23:14] – Having tough conversations through activity: walks, workouts, the range [23:38] – Hold On to Your Kids and why attachment precedes instruction [24:51] – Parenting across developmental stages and the two bigs, two littles dynamic [28:01] – Why Larry found the young years hardest and came alive in the teens [29:23] – Jessica as the boy mom of empathy, affection, and don't cross me [30:29] – What repair looks like after losing patience with the kids [32:22] – Figs O'Sullivan on harmony, disharmony, and quality living in the repair [33:05] – Growing up with parents who never apologized, and breaking that cycle [35:05] – Coach Whittle's house rule: if you see the collision, you see the repair [36:12] – The deck argument Ethan witnessed and the repair he described back [38:20] – Repairing with your own parents, and the letters Apogee members are writing [41:53] – Larry's estranged mother, the milk incident, and an unsafe environment [42:37] – A father who left twice and the Starbucks reunion 18 years later [43:36] – Mason at 15 asking how he could ever forgive him [44:34] – Forgive and co-create the future, or live in the past with a grudge [46:18] – Screen time boundaries, dumb phones, and earning time through fitness [49:37] – The three page contract for an adult son living at home rent free [50:28] – Why doom scrolling infuriates Larry, and his own guilt with the work phone [57:08] – The Apogee host thanks Larry, and an early zoom happy birthday   5 Key Takeaways Protecting Kids Starts With the Marriage — The deepest safety a child feels comes from parents who prioritize each other. It's a long tail game, not a short term action, and kids who see their parents love each other feel warm, safe, and want to be home. Call Each Other Forward, Don't Tear Down — Jessica changed Larry by naming what she saw with love and respect instead of criticism, which made him want to change. That same energy, connection before correction, is exactly how they lead their sons. Without Connection You Have No Influence — Kids tune out discipline from someone they don't feel attached to. Building connection first, often through shared activity, makes every hard conversation land far better. The Relationship Lives in the Repair — Every relationship cycles through harmony, disharmony, and repair, and the quality resides in how you repair. Letting kids witness the whole cycle, including your apology, teaches them it's safe to mess up and own it. Forgiveness Is a Choice About the Future — Larry's father owned his two abandonments completely and earned a 21 year relationship, while his mother's unsafe patterns went unrepaired. You can forgive and co-create the future, or live your whole life in the past with a grudge.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1507 Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl Connect with Jessica Hagner: https://thedadedge.com/jessicahagner/ Larry and Jessica interview each other (part one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aCcKKv9pXw Larry and Jessica interview each other (part two): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsHmnQiROMo&t=138s   Enjoyed This Episode?
