Daily Meditation Forgiveness can be one of the hardest steps to take, especially when it involves the deep wounds left by a father’s shortcomings. In this heartfelt devotional, Lynette Kittle explores how unforgiveness can become a barrier, not just in our relationships with our fathers, but in our walk with God. Rooted in Ephesians 6:4 and the truth of God’s character, this reflection invites us to consider the healing that comes from releasing bitterness and embracing the love of our Heavenly Father. In forgiving our fathers, we don’t excuse their failures—we open our hands to receive the perfect love and guidance of our true Father in Heaven.

Exploring the ancient Zen teaching of the Great Way, Jack guides us toward freedom from attachment, clarity beyond preferences, and the liberating joy of letting go.“The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.

Father's Day stirs complicated emotions for many of us. Whether you had an amazing dad or one who left deep wounds, this episode explores how our Heavenly Father's perfect example can transform both our understanding of fatherhood and our approach to healing.We dive deep into how our experiences with earthly fathers shape our perception of God, for better or worse. Those blessed with loving fathers often find it easier to connect with God as Father, while those who experienced neglect, abuse, or absence might struggle with this fundamental relationship. Yet understanding God's perfect fatherhood—His consistency, unfailing love, appropriate discipline, and constant communication—provides a powerful corrective lens.Fathers carry unique burdens of guilt when looking back at their parenting journey. "My two smartest times for parenting were before I had kids and after they moved out," one pastor notes with painful honesty. We explore how bringing parental failures to the cross offers freedom that self-improvement alone cannot provide.Perhaps most powerful is our discussion of forgiveness. When we refuse to forgive fathers who've wronged us, we're not punishing them—we're allowing them to maintain power over our lives. Biblical forgiveness means releasing offenses completely, not keeping score or waiting for perfect apologies. This release mirrors God's complete forgiveness of our sins and creates space for genuine healing and transformation.For those struggling with father wounds, we offer practical guidance through pastoral counseling or therapy, perspective on proportional responses to past hurts, and hope that people genuinely can change through faith. God's love doesn't guarantee warm feelings or perfect reciprocity—it's commitment without reward, giving the other cheek when struck, going the extra mile when exhausted.Join us for this honest conversation about the fathers we had, the fathers we are, and the perfect Father who shows us the way forward. Share your experiences with us at lifechallenges.us—we're here to walk this journey together.SHOW NOTES:Find strength and courage in your faith at this year's FEARLESS FAITH Conference.

Send us a textWhat does it really mean to forgive someone? In this thought-provoking episode, we challenge the common misconception that forgiveness requires allowing people who've hurt you back into your life.Forgiveness represents a halfway point in relationship restoration. When you forgive someone, you've completed your part of the journey toward healing. However, genuine reconciliation requires the other person to meet you there by acknowledging their wrongs, offering sincere apologies, and demonstrating changed behavior. Without this reciprocal effort, the relationship remains fractured despite your forgiveness.We explore the frustrating reality of "fake apologies" - those hollow expressions of remorse that don't acknowledge wrongdoing or demonstrate commitment to change. These superficial gestures, often followed by unchanged behavior, create cycles of hurt that ultimately destroy trust. Pattern recognition becomes essential in determining when to maintain boundaries even after extending forgiveness.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss society's declining sense of common courtesy. When kindness is consistently met with exploitation, even naturally compassionate people eventually withdraw or adopt more guarded approaches. This cultural shift has contributed to widespread disconnection, with many preferring isolation to the vulnerability required for genuine connection.Throughout it all, our message remains clear: choose kindness. Being the bigger person doesn't mean allowing others to take advantage of you – it means maintaining your integrity while setting necessary boundaries. True forgiveness liberates you from resentment while empowering you to protect yourself from future harm.Ready to transform your understanding of forgiveness?

Send us a textAmazing GraceAmazing Grace | How Sweet The Sound Pastor Jerrid FletcherJune 8, 2025This message invites us to move beyond familiarity with the hymn and into a fresh encounter with the depth, power, and beauty of God's grace. With vivid storytelling, generational faith, and a compelling walk through Romans 1-3, we are reminded that grace isn't just a lyric or doctrine - it's the rescue mission of heaven for every soul who has fallen short. And according to Romans 3:23-24, that is all of us.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Where has grace met you in your own story? Think about a time in your life when you were at your lowest, weakest, or most lost—how did God's grace show up? How did that experience shift your understanding of who God is and how He loves?2. Which form of pride has threatened your ability to receive or extend grace? There are many: thinking we can earn grace, believing others don't deserve it, or trying to “pay God back.” In what ways has pride crept into your relationship with God or others? What would it look like to surrender that pride and rest in grace instead?3. Can you recognize grace in your everyday moments? Grace isn't just something we receive at salvation—it follows us into kitchens, boardrooms, text messages, and traffic jams. What everyday graces might you be overlooking right now? How could growing in gratitude help you become more aware of it?4. Forgiveness is one of the hardest expressions of grace—but also one of the most Christ-like. Is there someone you've withheld grace from because you believed they didn't deserve it? How might your extension of grace reflect the grace God has extended to you?5. What does Romans 3:23–24 reveal about our identity and our worth? This verse declares both the truth of our brokenness and the beauty of our justification. How does knowing you've been "justified freely" change how you view yourself? Does it impact how you approach others, worship, or even failure?

In this conversation, Jen Peters and Lawrence Joss explore the complexities of trauma, healing, and the importance of inner child work. They discuss how unresolved trauma affects relationships, the significance of reparenting oneself, and the role of forgiveness in the healing process. The conversation emphasizes the power of personal agency in healing and the impact of individual work on family dynamics. Jen shares practical steps for reconnecting with one's inner child and highlights the importance of community support in the healing journey.Key TakeawaysRecognizing that others act out of their own unresolved trauma can provide insight into their behavior.Healing is a personal journey that does not require closure from others.Our partners often reflect our own inner child wounds, which can complicate relationships.Understanding our attachment styles can help us navigate relationships more effectively.Reparenting involves becoming the nurturing figure we needed in childhood.Forgiveness is about recognizing that we did the best we could at the time.We have the power to change our lives by addressing our core wounds.Community support is essential for healing and personal growth.Inner child work can lead to profound changes in family dynamics.Healing is an ongoing process that requires patience and self-compassion.Chapters00:00 - Understanding Trauma and Healing05:07 - The Role of Inner Child Work09:57 - Attachment Styles and Relationships14:47 - Reparenting and Forgiveness19:54 - Success Stories in Healing24:59 - Resources and Community SupportHere's the link to the free e-book PDF entitled "Coming Home":https://jen-peters.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Coming_Home_-_The_Path_to_Healing_Your_Inner_Child_-_Digital_version-2.pdfComing Home shares my personal story, including a 14-year narcissistic/codependent marriage, the breakdown of that relationship, and the profound healing journey that followed.Beyond my story, Coming Home is a comprehensive guide to trauma healing.

Forgiveness is a hard thing to do. We often want to keep our grudge and control the situation. When you truly forgive someone, you allow God to step in and mend a broken relationship. Today, Pastor Ken says that sometimes when you forgive, you must choose to forgive someone daily. It's a lot easier to hold a grudge, but God wants you to forgive because Christ forgave you. Despite your shortcomings, Jesus chose to forgive, so you should too. Forgive others as Christ forgave you.

Welcome to Short Take #5. In this series Judy and I talk about some of our (well, mostly my) favorite topics in bite-size morsels. Today's topic: Betrayal and Forgiveness This short take is about…well, betrayal and forgiveness. What is betrayal? And does forgiveness mean you'll restore your relationship?   Please subscribe and review us!

God's Mercy & ForgivenessPsalm 51:10-12 “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”These verses come within a series of verses addressing God.  The person talking to God in this psalm is David.  This psalm takes place after David had been visited by the prophet Nathan.  Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.  This psalm includes a lot of David asking God to forgive him for his sins.  One thing I love about David is that he is so good at realizing he did something wrong and then turning back to the Lord.  He messed up pretty badly sometimes.  It was not as if he was anointed, and so he always followed the Lord and never strayed.  He broke some pretty big commandments.  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, thou shalt not commit adultery, and thou shalt not kill, being a few of them.No matter how big the sin was, David never seemed to feel too ashamed to turn back to the Lord.  This is so great.  This shows such a deep level of understanding or trust, or both.  I think he was never afraid to turn back because he knew how much he was loved by God.  I wish we all knew and could trust God's love like David did.  How great would it be to know with every fiber of our body that no matter what we did, God would still love us and welcome us back?Have you ever done something and then not turned back to the Lord because you didn't think you deserved forgiveness?  Have you ever thought that you did something so bad that there was no way that God would forgive you?  I think that most people have probably thought this at one time or another.  I wonder if we would still think it if we remembered in that moment all the things that God has forgiven over the years?  David saw a woman bathing on the roof of another house in his town and called for her to be brought to him.  Then he had relations with her.  I doubt she had much to say about it, as that was not really the culture back then.  After he did this, she was pregnant, and he was worried her husband would find out what he had done.  He tried to trick her husband, and when that didn't work, he sent him to the front lines to be killed in the war.  Then he took Bathsheba for his wife.Take a moment and think of the thing that you have been trying to hide from God because you think there is no way he will forgive it.  Is it worse than what David did?  If God could forgive David, He will forgive you.  What if it is worse than what David did?  What do you do then?  Is it worse than what Saul did when he was going around stoning to death those who believed in Jesus?  Was it worse than what the soldiers did when they whipped Jesus and hung Him on a cross?  Because if Jesus can forgive them, He will forgive you.Why is it that we worry so much about God forgiving us?  We know He loves us, and yet we don't want to turn to Him when we mess up because… why?  Maybe we are ashamed and we don't want Him to see that we messed up?  Guess what, he has already seen your mess-ups and already loved you through them.  Maybe we don't want to bother Him with our mess-ups because we feel we should have known better in the first place.  Guess what?  He loves it when we turn to Him and ask Him for help to clean up our messes.  Maybe we don't feel like we are good enough to turn back to the Lord.  Guess what?  He is your Heavenly Father, and He made you in His likeness and image.  You are better than good enough; you are perfect just as you are.In the verse, David asks the Lord to create a pure heart in him.  He knows what he did was wrong, and he wants to do what is right. I think we all want to do what is right.  I don't think that any of us walk around all day wondering how we can sin against God.  I don't believe it is our intent to damage our relationship with God in any way.  If we want to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, we can all pray for the Lord to create a pure heart in us.  God knows what is in our hearts.  As much as we may try to purify our own hearts, God is the one who can help us with this.It goes on to say, “Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.”  I think this statement can be an example of David's humility.  It shows us that even though David was brave enough and trusted God enough to turn back to the Lord, even after David did some pretty awful things, David was humble enough not to assume God would forgive him.  In this verse, David is asking the Lord to please not cast him away or take the Holy Spirit from him.  God loves humility.  It says in James 4:10, “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”  This is what David was doing.  He was humbling himself and asking the Lord not to depart from him.After David asks the Lord not to abandon him, he goes on to say, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”  David knows that he is doing the things he does not want to do and not doing the things that God wants him to do.  This is why he is asking the Lord for a willing spirit to sustain him.  He knows that following the Lord's word is the way to go, and he also knows that he can get off track sometimes.  David did a lot of good things, and he spent a lot of his time following the Lord; however, when he veered off course, he did it in a big way.  If you feel like this is you, I hope that David's story can bring you a little bit of comfort.  I hope that if you are feeling like you did something wrong and that it was so bad you can't turn back to the Lord, that you will remember David and how he was able to turn back to the Lord even after he did some truly terrible things.  And you know what, God always forgave him and kept loving Him.  He does this for you, too.  God will always love you, no matter what it is you do.  He will always be hoping, no matter how much you think that you messed up, that you will turn back to him. He is your Heavenly Father, and you mean the world to Him!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we ask that you help us to remember to turn back to you every time we mess up.  No matter how bad a thing we think we did, help us to know that you still love us and forgive us.  Help us to know that you are always there for us.  Lord, create a clean heart in us and grant us a willing spirit.  Lord, we want to follow you, and we don't know why we get off course sometimes.  If you create a willing spirit in us, we hope to use that spirit to follow you more closely.  Lord Jesus, you are amazing, and we are so thankful that you always forgive us and that you continue to love us, even with all of our faults.  We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.
