Podcasts about forgive

Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I was devastated to hear of the passing of James Van Der Beek. Like so many of you, I grew up watching Dawson's Creek. But for me, it was even more than a show. My very first job was working on Dawson's Creek in Wilmington, North Carolina. My parents got to see their little girl step onto a set they watched in our living room every week... and that memory means everything to me. Years later, I had dinner with James and his wife Kimberly (who was one of the very first guests ever on Food Heals episode 6). That night, James sat with me, looked me in the eyes, and told me my parents were proud of me. He held space for me in a way most people never do. He didn't have to. But that's who he was. In this episode, I'm joined by: Reality TV producer Jessica Sirikulbut, who shares her heartfelt reflections on James' character, his spiritual depth, and the emotional impact this loss has had on our generation. Ryan Bailey, host of So Bad It's Good, who brings his thoughtful pop culture lens to James' legacy and the profound way he shaped so many of our lives. Together, we reflect on: • The impact Dawson's Creek had on our generation • James' powerful final interviews about love and worthiness • What cancer teaches us about presence and perspective • The emotional and spiritual layers of healing • Why "I am worthy of love" might be the most important mantra of all James wasn't just a talented actor. He was a light. A father of six. A devoted husband. A man who meditated, journaled, and led with love. And in a world that feels so divided, his passing feels like a wake-up call to return to what actually matters. Love. Presence. Connection. Forgiveness. Sweetness in life. If this episode moves you, and you feel called to support his family during this unimaginable time, you can contribute here:

A Prayer for Love That is Not Self-Seeking by Rachael AdamsWhat happens when you prepare your heart… and no one shows up? In this episode by Rachael Adams, she shares a humbling personal story about leading a prayer gathering that ended with an empty sanctuary and a full heart. Through Matthew 6, we explore what Jesus teaches about authentic prayer—moving from performance to posture, from seeking attention to seeking God Himself.This conversation invites us to examine our motives and rediscover the beauty of praying not to be seen, but to be known by our Father. Reference: Matthew 6:5 Prayer: Father, thank you for being willing to communicate with me and being available to listen. Forgive me for acting in ways that are self-seeking to gain attention for myself. I don't want to be hypocritical. I want everything I say and do to be heartfelt with a pure motive to honor your name and bring you glory. Let your kingdom come and your will be done in Jesus' name.

Julie has been handling the estate after she lost both parents. But why did she get so mean and start calling her brother names when he tried to help?

Forgiving someone doesn't mean forgetting, pretending it's not a big deal, or going back to how things were, but it can bring freedom from the heavy weight of resentment and bitterness. In this episode of With You in the Weeds, Austin Conner tackles one of life's hardest commands: forgiving someone who has hurt you. Jesus' words from the Lord's Prayer: “forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us” sounds good, but it can feel impossible in the face of a painful offense. Just like an infected wound needs to be cleaned out in order to heal, forgiveness is the way our hurts can be purged so that real healing can begin. Austin explains what forgiveness is not: forgetting the offense, minimizing the hurt, or forcing the relationship back to “normal”. He then walks through a practical four-step process:  Honestly assess and feel your hurt and then evaluate the type of person who has hurt you  Ask the offender if they are willing to hear the impact their actions had on you  Share the story and unload the pain with someone who can support your healing Clearly state your needs and boundaries for the future Keep in mind that forgiveness isn't our natural, human response to being hurt. In order to forgive, we will need to be empowered by God's grace and strength, as well as cultivate a deep trust that one day he will bring justice to all wrongs done to you. The result? Relief from bitterness, the ability to move forward, and a visible sign of God's kingdom breaking into everyday life. The process of forgiveness is much easier said than done, which is why we want to encourage and equip you to enter into a process of forgiveness that leads to freedom and hope, one step at a time.  Want to learn more?

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike talks about Luke 6:36–37 and Jesus' powerful call to live as people of mercy. “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful… forgive, and you will be forgiven.” We explore what it really means to work through forgiveness—not ignoring hurt, but releasing condemnation and choosing mercy. When we reflect the Father's heart, we create space for healing, freedom, and restored relationships.

In this final episode of The Becoming Years series, the conversation reframes midlife as an identity shift and powerful invitation rather than a breakdown. Dr. Anna Marie explores loneliness among high-achieving women, the impact of nervous system burnout, and how changing bodies and roles call for new ways of living. Listeners are encouraged to prioritize self-care, deepen relationships through honest conversations, and courageously pursue what they truly desire in the second half of life. Practical reflection tools—like the "seven whys" exercise—are shared to help uncover deeper needs and design a more aligned, energizing future.   Key Points Midlife is an identity shift, not a breakdown You are not behind; you are becoming Loneliness is common for high-achieving women after 40 Career, parenting, and success can quietly erode connections Exhaustion often comes from nervous system burnout, not weakness Invisible labor and hormonal shifts add to midlife fatigue Regulating the nervous system is vital for healthy relationships Partners benefit from syncing and co-regulating together Honest conversations about needs reduce the urge to "fix" each other Self-care: eat well, move your body, protect your energy Remove activities and relationships that drain you Focus on what fills you up and brings genuine joy Forgive yourself for relationships that have run their course Midlife is a chance to reinvent friendships and lifestyle Try small changes: new routes, classes, trips, experiences Be bold and stop living by others' expectations You can choose a different path for the second half of life Feeling empty or ungrateful after success is common, not wrong Deeper conversations about "taboo" feelings are essential Use the "seven whys" exercise to find root causes of feelings Share this series with someone who might need this message Listeners are invited to leave a review and reflect on what they truly want Connect with Dr. Anna Marie: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

A Prayer to Resist Pride by Rachael AdamsWhen we lay down our pride and embrace humility, we open the door for deeper relationships, greater service, and God’s favor in our lives.In today's episode, Rachael Adams shares a moment of offered help revealed how easily pride can keep us from receiving blessings God places in our path. Through the example of John the Baptist, we’re reminded that true greatness comes from pointing others to Jesus, not ourselves. Reference: Luke 18:14 Prayer: Lord, change the posture of my heart. Reinforce that my purpose is to point people to you. Forgive me for behaving pridefully. I know you oppose the proud and show favor to the humble. Help me to be content to let you take the higher place. May I accept help willingly and offer aid generously. In Jesus' name, amen.

Forgiveness isn't optional in the life of a believer; it's essential. Not just for personal peace, but for the health and witness of the community God is building. This message will challenge us to walk in the kind of forgiveness that doesn't retreat from conflict, but leans in with grace, humility, and a commitment to stay connected. A forgiven person must be a forgiving person, because real community can't survive without it. “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” – Colossians 3:13

A Prayer for Love that Does Not Boast by Rachael AdamsThere is so much joy when we see our children using their God-given gifts for His glory. In this episode Rachael shares a story of a young worship leader and the example of the apostle Paul, we’re reminded that our talents, accomplishments, and abilities are not meant to draw attention to ourselves, but to point others to Christ. When we shift our focus from self-promotion to God’s faithfulness, we discover the freedom and joy that come from boasting in the Lord alone. Reference: 1 Corinthians 1:31 Prayer: Father, thank you for all you have given me. Forgive me for taking credit or trying to gain glory for what you alone deserve. Cleanse my heart from any impure motive or thought that causes me to extol myself and seek man's applause. If I boast, may it be of the ways you have blessed me and worked in my life. I pray, if I make much of anything, I make much of you. May my desire be to make your name known and exalted. In Jesus' name, amen.

How to Forgive When You've Been Screwed | Don't Get Screwed | Week 3 by Elevate Church

Is conflict always bad? And do Christians always have to forgive? In this episode of Real Talk, we take an honest look at conflict and forgiveness—two realities every Christian faces because every Christian is in relationships. We're joined by Dr. Tim Lane, biblical counselor and author of Relationships, to explore what distinguishes godly conflict from ungodly conflict, what real forgiveness actually looks like, and how the gospel shapes our relationships—both personally and in the church. Conflict doesn't have to destroy relationships. And forgiveness is more than just words. To learn more, be sure to pick up a copy of Dr. Lane's book written with Paul Tripp: Relationships: A Mess Worth Making.   A BIG THANKS TO OUR OFFICIAL SPONSOR, TRIVAN!

We're Still Learning Pt. 2 | February 8, 2026Pastor Wes Morris Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NLT) Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.√  BECAUSE WE CONFUSE PROXIMITY WITH CONNECTION.√  BECAUSE WE AVOID HARD CONVERSATIONS.Hebrews 12:15 (NLT) 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.√  BECAUSE WE LET HURT GO UNHEALED.Colossians 3:13 (NIV) Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.√  BECAUSE BEING VULNERABLE FEELS RISKY.Acts 2:42-47 (NLT) All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer.A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. LEARNING TO GROW TOGETHERI. WE CHOOSE ONE PLACE TO BE CONSISTENTLY CONNECTED.Acts 2:46 (NIV) Every day they continued to meet together…Psalm 92:13 (NIV) Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of our God.II. WE SHOW UP FOR EACH OTHER.Philippians 2:3-4 (MSG) If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care - then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.III. WE ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER.I Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT) So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

Is manifestation dead? Is it a lie or clever coping mechanism? I don't know! It is what it is to you. Here's what it is to me.

"Did my own empathy actually make it easier for you to keep lying?” In this episode, Jay answers 10 hard questions about the hidden dynamics of deception in their marriage. We dive into: •DECEPTION DELIGHT Why some addicts pride themselves on the "high" of hiding the truth. •EXPLOSIVE FIGHTS: When Jay exploded during every fight, was it used as a tactic to shut down the conversation and avoid consequences. •DEFAULT MODE ofAddiction: Why 'time' doesn't heal an addict who isn't in active recovery.

We explore the thin line between being supportive and inadvertently providing the "distance" an addiction needs to thrive.

Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!Trust: A FEELING of security or confidence in another person.Your feelings of trust don't come from just what you KNOW, but rather from what you decide to THINK about what you know.Your “Trust Picture” (what you think of others) is NOT necessarily the same as who they ARE.Judges 16:6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”You don't trust someone based on what they SAY. You trust someone based on their ACTIONS.While “blind love” can be DEVASTATING in dating, it can actually be an ASSET in a marriage.WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SPOUSE: Do you focus on all the POSITIVES or NEGATIVES?I Corinthians 13:7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.I Peter 5:8 NLT Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.I Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.HOW DO YOU REBUILD TRUST?1. Realize TRUST and FORGIVENESS are not the same.With a deep break in trust, spouses often WITHHOLD FORGIVENESS because they think it means they must immediately TRUST AGAIN.That's not true, and it damages the rebuilding process. FORGIVE!FOR THE SPOUSE WHO HAS BROKEN TRUST:1. It's likely you're going to want things to get back to “NORMAL” before your spouse is ready.2. You'll often want trust to be given without SIGNIFICANTCHANGES to the relationship.WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR SPOUSE YOUNEED 2 THINGS: They need more TIME—and more TRANSPARENCYRomans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose.SINGLE:- Spend TIME evaluating if you can really trust someone. Don't just listen to someone's WORDS, you watch their ACTIONS.MARRIED (without a big break in trust): - Begin the habit of always ASSUMING THE BEST about your spouse.MARRIED (with a big break in trust):- FORGIVE- Begin the process of REBUILDING TRUST.

Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Maturing in ChristColossians 3:5-11 (ESV)5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.Sermon OutlineMaturing in the fulness of the life Jesus invites us into requires intentionally putting an end to former ways.1. What is the problem?v5 “what is earthly in you”v5 “covetousness, which is idolatry”v5 “sexual immorality…”vv8-9 “anger…”v6 “On account of these the wrath of God is coming”2. How do you address it?v5 “Put to death”v8 “put them all away”vv9-10 “put off the old self with its practices”3. Why is this important?v11 “but Christ is all, and in all”v10 “the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator”v11 “Here there is not…”Prayer of ConfessionOur Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer: you invite us to seek the things that are above, but we have oriented our lives towards the things of earth. We confess we have been covetous. We have been ruled by selfish desires. We have fixated on things people have, and have treated people as though they were things. We are guilty of the very ways you have warned us to put aside. Our lips have exposed that our hearts are not right. Forgive every expression of sin, and free us from the power and presence of sin within us. We turn to you, receiving the life of Christ through faith, and commit to walking in him. Amen.Questions for ReflectionDoes it seem that the world that you see and experience is all that there is? How do people live when they assume there is nothing beyond this world and that life ends when you die? What changes with the belief that there is a God we can know and that we are eternal beings?What are some good things that are natural to you (desires, instincts, habits)? What are some problematic things?How does corruption make good desires harmful? What happens when people are controlled by problematic desires? What is the impact?What are helpful ways of trying to control problematic desires? What should we avoid?Which model for dealing with your sin is most appealing to you: fighting it/going to war to defeat it (put to death); putting it away (recognizing it needs to be contained and dealt with); putting it off (like changing an old garment)? Are you neglecting any of the means or approaches? Why?What happens if you focus only on the good things offered in Christianity and pay no attention to the hard work of dealing with sin? What happens if your focus becomes dealing with sin and you ignore the positive aspects of looking to God with hope and for satisfaction?What does it mean that Jesus offers us a “new self” which is being renewed after the image of its creator? What are simply implications of “being renewed”? What are reasonable expectations for a maturing/growing life?

Audio Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: Maturing in ChristColossians 3:5-11 (ESV)5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.Sermon OutlineMaturing in the fulness of the life Jesus invites us into requires intentionally putting an end to former ways.1. What is the problem?v5 “what is earthly in you”v5 “covetousness, which is idolatry”v5 “sexual immorality…”vv8-9 “anger…”v6 “On account of these the wrath of God is coming”2. How do you address it?v5 “Put to death”v8 “put them all away”vv9-10 “put off the old self with its practices”3. Why is this important?v11 “but Christ is all, and in all”v10 “the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator”v11 “Here there is not…”Prayer of ConfessionOur Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer: you invite us to seek the things that are above, but we have oriented our lives towards the things of earth. We confess we have been covetous. We have been ruled by selfish desires. We have fixated on things people have, and have treated people as though they were things. We are guilty of the very ways you have warned us to put aside. Our lips have exposed that our hearts are not right. Forgive every expression of sin, and free us from the power and presence of sin within us. We turn to you, receiving the life of Christ through faith, and commit to walking in him. Amen.Questions for ReflectionDoes it seem that the world that you see and experience is all that there is? How do people live when they assume there is nothing beyond this world and that life ends when you die? What changes with the belief that there is a God we can know and that we are eternal beings?What are some good things that are natural to you (desires, instincts, habits)? What are some problematic things?How does corruption make good desires harmful? What happens when people are controlled by problematic desires? What is the impact?What are helpful ways of trying to control problematic desires? What should we avoid?Which model for dealing with your sin is most appealing to you: fighting it/going to war to defeat it (put to death); putting it away (recognizing it needs to be contained and dealt with); putting it off (like changing an old garment)? Are you neglecting any of the means or approaches? Why?What happens if you focus only on the good things offered in Christianity and pay no attention to the hard work of dealing with sin? What happens if your focus becomes dealing with sin and you ignore the positive aspects of looking to God with hope and for satisfaction?What does it mean that Jesus offers us a “new self” which is being renewed after the image of its creator? What are simply implications of “being renewed”? What are reasonable expectations for a maturing/growing life?

A dying person's last words – be their words of bitterness, fear, hope, or more – often reveal to us how that person lived. In Jesus' last words, he not only reminded us of how he lived but how we should live as well. Join us at Faith Covenant Church as we explore Jesus' famous last words and discover how in his dying, Jesus showed us how to live.

Continuing our new series “Pray Like This” walking through THE LORD'S PRAYER, Pastor Kuulei takes a deeper dive into the sixth line, “Forgive us our trespasses”. In teaching His disciples to pray, Jesus went back to the verse on forgiveness and reiterated it in a way that seemed harsh.  But His heart was to communicate what true forgiveness looked like in the Kingdom of Heaven.Today we'll look at what biblical forgiveness is not, what it is, and why it's NOT OPTIONAL in the life of the Believer.Key Scriptures:Colossians 3:13, Matthew 6:9-12,14-15,18:21-22, Luke 23:34, Ephesians 4:32, Luke 17:3-5, 2 Timothy 1:7, Micah 7:19, Psalm 103:11-12

ESV 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 Forgive the Sinner 5 Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. 6 For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, 7 so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort […]

Alongside reporter Andy Mannix, she walks through how a single criminal case in Minnesota exposed a broader system of internal “forgiveness sessions,” unreported abuse, and failures of accountability. The conversation also explores how investigative journalists verify survivor accounts, the role of clergy privilege laws, and why transparency inside religious institutions matters. This episode examines the intersection of faith, authority, and justice—and what happens when communities prioritize internal resolution over public accountability. Learn more:Young Girls Were Sexually Abused by a Church Member.

We live our lives in a sin-filled world: brokenness and grievances will happen. God calls us to forgive those who sin against us, but we understandably have questions about how exactly that plays out in our everyday lives. Let's explore Scripture to learn what forgiveness is and what it is not. We'll discover how our ability to forgive others grows out of God's forgiveness and find help in dealing with the strong emotions that so often surround forgiveness.

I know someone who was hurt deeply by an abusive church experience. I shared with them the message of forgiveness found in Matthew 18. But I wonder if you have any other thoughts on forgiving people who have hurt you? A lady at my church keeps telling me that the Holy Spirit has new messages for me. She is scaring me, but at the same time, I wonder if I'm missing out on hearing from God! How do I keep my young children interested in Jesus?

A Prayer to Resist Wanting What Others Have by Rachael AdamsComparison often sneaks in quietly—especially in places where dreams, callings, and success feel close enough to touch. In this episode by Rachael Adams, we explore how envy can take root in our hearts, even when we love Jesus and genuinely want to celebrate others. We unpack the difference between coveting what others have and trusting God with our own unique calling. God invites us into a life of peace, contentment, and joy—one that isn’t threatened by another person’s success. Reference: Proverbs 14:30 Prayer: Lord, thank you for how you've created me and for the unique blessings and gifts you've given me. Forgive me for being covetous of other people's personalities, appearance, possessions, and accomplishments. When I start feeling envious of another person, remind me to celebrate with them and genuinely desire their success. Help me not to be complacent, but to be content with myself. In Jesus's name, amen.

The Bible tells us to forgive, and many of us truly want to. We agree with it, we believe it, and we've even made the intentional choice to forgive. But what happens when your heart says you've forgiven, but your body still reacts? Too often, Scripture gets used to rush people past pain instead of walking them through healing. In this episode, I'm talking honestly about why forgiveness can be sincere while the pain still lives in your body, and why that doesn't mean you're doing faith wrong.

One of the greatest challenges we face emotionally is how we respond when we are hurt. With the offense, we have a choice. Will we respond with grace and forgiveness, or will we respond with harshness and cynicism? Will we be quick to overlook an offense, or will we respond with the same hurt we experienced?Main Points:1. I'm sure you'll agree, it's not always easy to respond in a Christ-honoring way. We feel pain, and it seems human to respond in the same way. We tend to match emotion with emotion, anger with anger, and insult with insult.2. You and I can refuse to allow ourselves to become bitter. I wish I could offer you an offense-free life and promise you that from now on, you will no longer be hurt by others, but such promises cannot be made. I can promise you that the Holy Spirit will give you the power to forgive and move on.3. Unforgiveness is a burden.  I think we all know what it feels like.  But forgiveness is freedom.  Where there was once sorrow, heaviness, and bitterness, is now comfort and peace.  When we forgive, we are released from bondage.  Forgiveness is like God opening the prison door and allowing us to walk away and leave it all behind.Today's Scripture Verses:Proverbs 19:11 - “Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Jordana is gearing up for the arrival of her two babies and turning to Dr. Naomi for a crash course in how to accept help from her in-laws. A listener is unpacking years of mom guilt over past mistakes with her son and wondering if there's a way to make it right now that she's actually done the work. One Betch is grieving a mother-in-law she'll never get to meet and questioning whether she's allowed to be sad about someone who passed before she was in the picture. After rewatching her gender reveal, a woman realizes she was fully out of frame from the moment and is now spiraling that she ruined the memory forever. Meanwhile, a child-free listener is losing it over coworkers who keep joking about all her “free time,” and another sister is officially done after receiving a holiday card that basically bragged about someone else's fertility luck straight to her face.
