Podcasts about Forgiveness

There is no doubt in my mind that we, as a nation (and, across the world) are facing a moral confusion if not a complete moral crisis. And, unless righteous, bold men step up to the plate, we'll continue to see the moral decay of everything we love from our favorite institutions, to our families, and our neighborhoods, and even the threat of losing this great nation. That isn't hyperbole. Today, I am joined by John Lovell, founder of Warrior Poet Society and former Army Ranger to discuss what we as men can do about it. We talk about mercy and justice (and, how to satisfy both), why we should hate injustice, the dangers of communism and socialism, why we must unite behind Truth (with a capital T), why "happiness" is inferior to "joy," and why we should pursue peace if possible but truth at all costs. 00:00 - Introduction & Catching Up 01:20 - Why John Wrote "The Lions of Mercer" 03:49 - Justice, Fiction, and Catharsis 07:15 - The Cry for Justice 08:07 - Modern Culture and Victimhood 08:51 - Loving the Good vs. Hating the Evil 11:44 - Redemption, Failure, and Public Dogpiling 13:01 - Loyalty, Forgiveness, and Standing by Brothers 16:14 - What Is "The Good"? 18:27 - Justice, Mercy, and the Role of Christ 20:15 - Judgement, Hypocrisy, and Accountability 23:07 - Integrity and Personal Alignment 24:39 - Happiness vs. Joy 26:39 - Teaching Discipline and Long-Term Thinking 27:03 - You Can Only Replicate Who You Are 28:22 - Wrestling With Faith and Christianity 29:02 - The Dangers of Atheism & Moral Relativism 31:05 - America's Moral Foundation 32:42 - Who Decides Morality? 34:12 - Rise of Socialism & Cultural Rejection 35:38 - New York, Ideology, and Consequences 36:36 - Unity vs. Compromise 38:41 - What Makes Someone American? 39:58 - Parenting, Boyhood, and Raising Men 40:45 - Why Boyhood Resurrected Was Written 42:38 - Risk, Adventure, and Rite of Passage 46:14 - Finding Balance in Parenting 47:09 - Trust, Risk, and Leadership in Marriage 51:27 - Why Should Your Wife Trust You? 52:21 - Leadership, Submission, and Marriage Dynamics 55:49 - Biblical Structure for Marriage 59:04 - Loving Leadership and Wise Authority 01:00:54 - Closing Thoughts & Transition to IC Segment 01:01:15 - Where to Find John Lovell 01:02:13 - Q&A Teaser Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Proverbs 6:20-35

Send one way text to Rev Rachel The holidays have a way of bringing everything to the surface - the joy, the love, the tenderness, and also the old stories, the anxieties, and the patterns we thought we were done with. Being around family gives us a front-row seat to our operating system, the parts of us that still tighten, protect, or try to keep the peace.In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I talk about the real spiritual work of being with family while staying connected to yourself. We explore how to actually feel your feelings rather than suppress them, how to listen to the information they carry, and how to recognize when you've slipped into old roles of managing, pleasing, or fixing.This is the heart of the Recover Your Soul Process - learning to turn inward with curiosity and compassion, letting the emotions arise without judgment, and allowing others to be exactly who they are.My hope is that these reflections help you stay rooted in yourself through the holiday season - not armored, not shut down, but present, awake, and open to the deeper healing that is always happening beneath the surface.You are allowed to feel what you feel.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251201dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.” Ezekiel 3:17 Watch and Warn We have all experienced those moments when we see danger approaching and feel an urgent need to warn others, “Watch out!” we shout. Perhaps a car backed up too quickly, or a child reached for something hot on the stove. In such situations, remaining silent would not just be wrong, but also unkind. This is the image God gave to the prophet Ezekiel. He was chosen to be a “watchman”—someone who remains vigilant and alerts people when trouble is near. However, the warning Ezekiel was to give was far more serious than damaged bumpers or burnt fingers. It concerned sin and its consequences. God called Ezekiel to deliver both hard truths and healing words. Although we are not prophets like Ezekiel, we share the same responsibility: to warn others and to bear witness. This calling can feel intimidating. Sometimes we keep silent because we are afraid of offending or uncertain about what to say. Thankfully, Jesus never chose silence. He spoke the hard truth to those who were proud and offered gentle words to those who were hurting. He warned about the reality of sin and called people to turn back to God. Even when people didn’t listen, Jesus did not walk away. He went to the cross. Jesus bore the punishment for sin so that we would not have to. He rose again to give us new life. Today, by his Word, the Spirit works in us to be loving and courageous watchmen for those around us. You do not need a loudspeaker or a pulpit to be a watchman. You just need the gospel—the good news of a Savior who came for sinners like us. This Advent, listen for the coming footsteps of Jesus and lovingly let others know that he is on his way. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for speaking the truth in love and for taking my sin to the cross. Make me bold and gentle to speak your truth to those around me. Amen.

Her mother attempted to abort her, but God intervened in a miraculous way. The Lord has touched her life in so many ways and it's amazing how my two guests met!  Today, Adriana's testimony is one of forgiveness, redemption, and hope—and it's incredible how her path crossed with Jenny's second guest, Melanie Azarcon, Partner & Church Liaison for Health Bridge Global. They are partnering to help build "Life Medical Hospital", a women's hospital in Romania so women don't have to resort to abortion for birth control. The plan is to care for women from conception to post birth. How do you forgive your mother who tried to abort you, reminded you of it throughout her life, and aborted your siblings? How do you forgive? Only JESUS!  And now Adriana and her husband have two beautiful children of their own! Her story also reaches beyond her own family: She shares a heart-wrenching story of how an abortion 30 years ago affected a family here in the States and how God used Adriana to help them heal and break those lies of the enemy. This conversation is raw, inspiring, and filled with hope—a powerful reminder of God's ability to transform pain into purpose. If you or someone you know needs emotional healing after abortion, Deeper Still Ministries can help. (deeperstill.org) - Find freedom from your abortion wounded heart.  Hope Resource is a pregnancy resource center who will walk beside you to empower you to choose life. (knoxvillehope.com). Both of these organizations bring hope and the love of Jesus Christ. You can find more about Health Bridge Global at healthbridgeglobal.org.

This podcast episode captures the inaugural service in a new church building, where Samuel Goulet expresses deep gratitude for the community's support and God's faithfulness. Drawing from the biblical stories of David and Solomon, the message emphasizes the importance of knowing God intimately and serving Him wholeheartedly, not just intellectually or emotionally. The episode encourages listeners to consecrate their lives and worship spaces to God, to walk in humility, and to embrace forgiveness and wholeness through Jesus. It concludes with a communal act of taking communion, inviting everyone to experience redemption and restoration as a church family.

Christine grew up in a broken home marked by chaos, pain, and deep childhood wounds. For years she carried labels like unwanted, broken, and alone.

Seven Steps to Forgiveness Support the show

Jesus Gave His Followers the Holy Spirit to Walk with Them in Their Personal Relationship with God MESSAGE SUMMARY: Isaiah tells us about Jesus Followers' communications with the Holy Spirit in Isaiah 30:21: "And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.". We know, from the New Testament, that Jesus Followers are given the Holy Spirit to walk with them -- "a voice behind you". Since the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you, the way the Lord speaks to you is through the inward witness of the Holy Spirit -- the Spirit will speak, and you will know that it is the Lord. In John 14:26, Jesus reminds us about His promise, to His followers, of the “Helper” (Holy Spirit): “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”. Additionally, in John 16-7, Jesus tells us that not only will the Holy Spirit be your “Helper”, the Holy Spirit will be your “Comforter”: “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Anger. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Forgiveness. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ezekiel 22:30-31; Isaiah 30:21; John 14:23-27; John 16:7-13; Psalms 134:1-3. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

LESSON 335I Choose To See My Brother's Sinlessness.Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. My brother's sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother's sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

If Buddhism focuses on the here and now, why does Metta Meditation extend to “invisible beings,” and what are they? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi illustrated that Metta meditation helps us open our hearts to all beings—those we see and those we don't—by recognizing that everyone wants to be happy. It teaches us to let go of attachment to physical forms and to respond to others with compassion and understanding. By practicing this, we can stay connected, forgive, and love even when people, pets, and all beings pass away, seeing the person beyond their body.

Freedom in Forgiveness | Chris Royalty & Lori Medley by 24 church

Today, Pastor Al Dagel brings us part one of a three-part series, "The help of forgiveness," a series that can change your perspective and, perhaps, your life. 

Week 49 - Doctrine and Covenants 137-138: "I beheld that they were filled with joy and gladness, and were rejoicing together because the day of their deliverance was at hand."Please visit us at CFMpodcast.org

Many people believe forgiveness must lead to reconciliation, but those who hurt us can't always heal us. Colossians 3:12–14 urges us to forgive as the Lord forgave us, making forgiveness a necessary path to healing—not optional. Forgiveness is an ongoing act of obedience that sets us free, while reconciliation requires both parties to rebuild trust and repair the relationship. Scripture shows this distinction: Esau forgave Jacob but did not reconcile closely, while Joseph fully restored his relationship with his brothers. Megan Marshman walks through the stages of forgiveness, how to discern when to seek reconciliation, and the difference between the two.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251130dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD. Isaiah 2:3-5 Peace That Comes from God In the United Nations Plaza in New York City, today’s Bible passage is quoted: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares . . .” All people desire peace, don’t they? Isn’t that why the United Nations was established in the first place? But it hasn’t worked so well, has it? Are Isaiah’s words just a fantasy? If you’re looking for a truly peaceful “United Nations,” you’re not going to find it in this sinful world. But that’s not what Isaiah was describing. Isaiah was describing peace that the world can’t give, find, or produce. Isaiah described peace that only comes from God. God brought peace to the hearts of people when he kept his promise to send his Son, Jesus, the Christ. Jesus came to bring peace to the earth by living and suffering and dying for a world full of sin and sinners, sinners like you and me. Because of Jesus’ perfect life, innocent death, and glorious resurrection, we have peace. We have the peace of knowing that there’s nothing we can do to save ourselves because Jesus has done everything. We have the peace of knowing that we don’t need to satisfy God’s wrath against our sins because Jesus has washed them away. We have peace because Jesus has set us free. That peace is yours and mine in Jesus! That peace is what moves us to sit at Jesus’ feet and learn his ways. That peace is what moves us to walk in the light of the Lord. Prayer: May the peace of God, which the world cannot give, which surpasses our understanding, guard and keep your heart and mind through faith in Christ Jesus! Amen.

"Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing. ²It offends no aspect of reality, nor seeks to twist it to appearances it likes. ³It merely looks, and waits, and judges not. ⁴He who would not forgive must judge, for he must justify his failure to forgive. ⁵But he who would forgive himself must learn to welcome truth exactly as it is."

This podcast episode delves into the profound topic of forgiveness, featuring an enlightening discussion with Dr. Ev Worthington, a clinical psychologist renowned for his extensive research in this field. The salient point of our dialogue revolves around the intricacies of forgiveness, particularly the distinction between decisional and emotional forgiveness. Dr. Worthington elucidates how decisional forgiveness entails a conscious choice to refrain from seeking revenge and to regard the offender as a valuable individual, while emotional forgiveness involves the transformation of negative sentiments into positive feelings. We further explore the REACH model, a structured approach designed to facilitate emotional forgiveness, and its applicability across diverse cultural contexts. This episode promises to offer listeners invaluable insights into the mechanisms of forgiveness and its significance in personal and interpersonal healing.Takeaways: Back Channel with Foth/The importance of understanding one's role and expectations when serving on a board cannot be overstated, as clarity facilitates effective contributions. Decisional forgiveness involves making a conscious choice to treat individuals as valuable despite past grievances, promoting emotional healing. Emotional forgiveness is a process of replacing negative emotions with positive feelings, which can take time and effort to achieve. The R.E.A.C.H. model provides a structured approach to forgiveness, emphasizing recall, empathy, altruistic gift, commitment, and holding onto forgiveness as essential steps. Cross-cultural applicability of forgiveness interventions has been demonstrated, indicating their effectiveness across diverse populations and contexts. Self-forgiveness is crucial for mental well-being, and it involves addressing moral guilt, social consequences, and personal identity issues.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Dean Otto, a top-performing enterprise sales rep whose life changed in an instant after being struck by a vehicle while cycling. Given a 2% chance of ever walking again, Dean went on to run a half-marathon just one year later—alongside the man who hit him and the neurosurgeon who operated on him.Through forgiveness, faith, relentless work, and a refusal to isolate, Dean rebuilt not only his body but also a powerful community around him. In this clip, he shares the inside story of meeting the driver, reconciling in the hospital, training against all odds, and ultimately proving what grit and connection can achieve. This excerpt is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and the compounding power of not going through adversity alone.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:29] The accident that changed everything.Dean's 2% chance of walking again and the comeback mission it sparked.[00:01:14] Forgiveness before reconciliation.Dean had forgiven the driver before ever meeting him — a testament to emotional and spiritual maturity.[00:02:02] Will, the driver, reaches out.The surprising request from the man who hit Dean and how that meeting turned into a two-hour connection.[00:03:21] Rebuilding relationships through shared struggle.Dean, Will, and their families build deep bonds and ultimately commit to running together.[00:03:53] Viral impact & platform responsibility.How Dean's story went viral and why he shifted the focus to helping other spinal cord patients.[00:04:52] Returning to work despite severe injury.Balancing recovery with career identity — including Dean closing deals from his hospital bed.[00:06:21] A doctor becomes a runner.Dean's neurosurgeon trains for his own half marathon to stand beside his patient.[00:07:52] Integrity and sacrifice.Will joins the race despite a heart condition, symbolizing commitment far beyond obligation.[00:09:48] A race about more than racing.Dean breaks two hours by five seconds, proving to himself and others what's possible after trauma.[00:10:24] Going back for your people.Dean and the team return to finish the race with Will — the metaphor for leadership and connection.[00:11:12] Isolation kills progress.Communities, companies, and sellers fail alone — but win together.QUOTES[00:01:14] “When I read that part of your story, I was like, whoa — forgiveness and reconciliation.”[00:07:52] “The integrity and thoughtfulness of this young man was unbelievable.”[00:11:12] “Sellers don't make it in isolation.

When someone has hurt you, betrayed you, or taken something from you - it's hard to see anything in them but a villain - a bad guy - a jerk - an adulterer - a deadbeat dad - a demanding boss - a Harry Black. But people are complicated - even the people who do terrible things. In this message, Max Vanderpool unpacks an often-forgotten aspect of forgiveness - re-humanizing the person who hurt us (even IF we decide to release the relationship).

How can waiting become joyful instead of anxious? Elizabeth's Spirit-filled response to Mary shows us the heart of true worship. When we recognize Jesus as Lord, our waiting transforms into celebration of God's presence among us. Christian community amplifies this joy, emboldening our faith as we witness God at work in others' lives. Listen now and be inspired to embrace your role in God's redemptive mission with active, joyful participation.

LESSON 334Today I Claim The Gifts Forgiveness Gives.I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me. Illusions are all vain, and dreams are gone even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perceptions. Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.I seek but the eternal. For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. What, then, can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for so will I behold my sinlessness.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Today, Pastor Mollenkopf begins a sermon series through First Peter. To fully grasp the apostle's encouragements to us to persevere in the midst of suffering and to understand God having purpose and plan, it's important that we understand how Peter was uniquely situated to pen such a letter. As a disciple 0f Jesus and leader in the early church, and because of the great successes and failures he knew in both seasons of his life, he's well situated to help us in the sufferings and persecutions we are likely to see in our walk with Christ.

Andrew Heard speaks on the hope we have in God of the universe, who in his love and mercy justifies us - the ungodly.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251129dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion [God the Father] has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:13-17 Christ Is Superior Consumer Reports is a magazine you would look at for the best of a given product and the best deal for your wallet. In today’s Bible reading, Paul gives us the “consumer report” on Christ. He clearly explains why Christ is superior to anyone or anything else. He is God. He created all things. He is eternal, without beginning or end. He is the firstborn from among the dead, never to die again. He holds everything together. Each part of these verses lays out an objective fact about why Christ is superior. And each of these truths has important significance for our daily lives. Despite the times we see sin interrupt our lives, despite the horrors of wickedness we hear about in the news, and despite the atrocities human beings commit against one another, evil and wickedness are not in control. Even though they may appear to be running the world, they are not. No matter what evil or wickedness may throw at us, there is nothing they can do to wrest control away from Christ. Nor is there anything they can do to separate us from Christ. For Christ defeated sin and death through his death on the cross and declared his victory as he rose from the dead. This is the report we have on Christ. He is supreme. No one is greater. There is no one who can take control from him or can separate us from him. What confidence this gives us as we continue our pilgrimage on earth! Prayer: O Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, in your mercy you have brought me into your kingdom. Continue to rule over me, protecting me from the evil one until I join you in your heavenly kingdom. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Forgiveness isn't just about letting others off the hook, it's about setting YOURSELF free. When we choose to forgive, we release anger, bitterness, and pain that keep us stuck in the past. Forgiveness is the doorway to peace, emotional healing, and spiritual growthConnect with Maurice here ➡︎ https://mauriceijones.com/

LESSON 333Forgiveness Ends The Dream Of Conflict Here.Conflict must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears.Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt, and light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end our evil dream. No light but this can save the world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
