In this season of WorkLife, we're pairing each of our regular episodes with a companion interview to do a deeper dive into the topic. This is the companion for our episode on the secrets of a great apology. Michael McCullough is a psychology professor at UC San Diego and a pioneer in the study of forgiveness, gratitude, and empathy—he finds that although forgiveness is important, it isn't always the answer to conflict. Michael and Adam discuss why humans evolved to forgive, examine what causes people to hold grudges, and settle last episode's debate about whether it's appropriate to ask for forgiveness.

The process of forgiveness and reconciliation is a two-way street, and both parties are equally responsible for putting in the work to restore the relationship. Yes, even if you were the one wronged! In part two in this miniseries on forgiveness to reconciliation, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender discuss the four steps of making amends and emphasize the importance of approaching each one with humility. Whether you've been wronged or have wronged someone else, you must set aside your pride and commit to rebuilding trust, whatever that might look like for your situation. It's certainly not easy, but when done with sincere intentions (and often with the aid of outside counseling), the process of reconciliation can become a powerful example of peacemaking. Quote of the episode: “You're going to find true peacemaking to be way more effective and way more fruitful if you're willing to put in the work.”—Julie Bender Resources Mentioned Join the Re|engage Marriage Enrichment and Restoration course The Peacemaking Process graphic: Related "If You're Tired of Resentment Living Rent-Free in Your Heart – 259" "Forgiveness Is the Key to Living a Bitter-Free Life" Check out the Smart Living book series here, and be sure to follow us on social media!

I. What you have escaped from concerning Mount Sinai, vv18-21. II. What you have been brought to at Mount Zion, vv22-24. III. Application
Pastor Al Dagel wants us to realize that we can understand prophecies regarding Jesus Christ more clearly than the prophets themselves did.
This week, we continue on in the narrative of the conversion of the Gentiles by looking at Peter's sermon and the elements of his gospel: Peace, Lord, Witness, Death/Resurrection, Judge, and Forgiveness--and how this Gospel results in the pouring out of the Spirit on the the Gentiles Text: Acts 10.34--48 Teacher: Eric Williams
This week, we're diving into one of the most powerful and freeing truths of all: forgiveness. If you've ever wrestled with shame, regret, or just the idea of letting go—this message is for you. We're not starting with who you need to forgive—we're starting with the radical, no-strings-attached forgiveness you've already been given through Jesus. Come as you are, and let's rediscover the forgiveness we may have forgotten. SUBSCRIBE TODAY for Weekly Service messages, Daily Guided Prayers, & more!

Nobody likes to think about judgment, but God's judgment on sin is what restrains evil and suffering in the world. So how do we learn to honor God's judgment more than man's judgment (which will help us conquer our fears and insecurities)? Elijah will show us the way.
Forgiveness isn't optional—it's who we are in Christ. Just as we've been forgiven, we're called to release others from their offenses and walk in love toward them. This message looks at the power of forgiveness, how to release the weight of offense, and how God's redemptive purpose transforms even the deepest wounds. In Jesus, we find freedom to forgive and courage to love.
In part 5 of our Word Faith series, Pastor Mark teaches on an important principle that directly affects every believer's walk of faith: forgiveness. Mark 11 says faith cannot fully function when unforgiveness is held in the heart. Harboring offense blocks faith, disrupts peace, and opens the door for the enemy's influence. We encourage you to live free by being quick to forgive, quick to repent, and quick to believe—choosing to let go of offense and keep a good report, even in difficult circumstances. Forgiveness isn't about releasing others; it's about releasing yourself, so your faith remains strong and God's promises continue working powerfully in your life.

The Opening of Strawberry Fields Festival features RISE, David Hoffmeister, Kirsten Buxton, and Jason Warwick.Immerse yourself in the transcendent music and teachings from the Strawberry Fields Festival's opening session. This recording begins with three soul-stirring songs from the band RISE, setting the stage for an exploration into the profound truths of divine innocence.In the session, David Hoffmeister, Kirsten Buxton, and Jason Warwick guide listeners on a journey inward, revealing that innocence is not a fragmented concept of the world but an unwavering truth. We are as God created us: pure spirit, pure love. We have never been separate; we have never erred. This understanding dissolves illusions and leads us into holiness, unlocking the freedom of our minds and the liberation of the world. The festival's theme song, “Nothing is real, nothing to get hung about,” serves as a reminder that true mastery is achieved through love—not fear. It is not about meeting worldly needs but about embracing the divine. Atonement is the realization that separation never occurred, and in this awareness, time fades. The past is relinquished, the future loses relevance, and eternity stands revealed. This profoundly moving session concludes with a final song from RISE, bringing the message full circle—calling us to let go, embrace truth, and step into the peace of our true identity.

Revenge has become Donald Trump's brand. That, at least, is the view of James Kimmel Jr, author of The Science of Revenge, who argues that revenge has become America's “deadliest addiction”. When we feel wronged, he says, our pain centers activate, triggering dopamine-releasing reward circuits that create pleasure from fantasizing about retaliation. This neurological pattern mirrors classic forms of substance addiction, and explains everything from street violence to Trump's "revenge brand" politics. Kimmel contends that roughly 20% of people become compulsively vengeful, driving most societal violence throughout history. The antidote? FORGIVENESS, which neuroscience shows actually eliminates pain rather than just masking it. Kimmel's provocative thesis suggests treating revenge like other addictions through public health approaches and potentially even pharmaceutical interventions. five key takeaways* Revenge is neurologically identical to drug addiction - Brain scans show that revenge-seeking activates the same dopamine reward circuits as substance abuse, making it literally addictive.* All violence stems from perceived victimization - From mass shootings to genocide, perpetrators first see themselves as victims seeking "righteous" retaliation for real or imagined grievances.* Forgiveness is a neurological "superpower" - Unlike revenge's temporary dopamine hit, forgiveness actually deactivates brain pain networks and permanently eliminates trauma rather than just covering it up.* Trump represents America's "revenge brand" - The current political climate reflects a nation caught in collective revenge addiction, with both sides seeking retaliatory pleasure for past grievances.* We need addiction-style treatment for violence - Just as we treat alcoholism with medical interventions, revenge addiction could be addressed through public health campaigns, education, and potentially pharmaceutical solutions.James Kimmel, Jr., J.D. is a lawyer, a lecturer in psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, and the founder and co-director of the Yale Collaborative for Motive Control Studies. A breakthrough scholar and expert on revenge and forgiveness, James first identified compulsive revenge seeking as an addiction. He developed the behavioral addiction model of revenge and the brain disease model of revenge addiction as public health approaches for preventing and treating violence. He made the study of revenge and forgiveness his life's work after nearly committing a mass shooting as a teenager. James created The Nonjustice System and the related Miracle Court App for healing from grievances and victimization, controlling revenge cravings and revenge addiction, and empowering forgiveness. He is a leader in expanding local, state, and national violence threat risk and reduction initiatives to include public behavioral health motive control strategies. He launched SavingCain.org, the first-of-it's-kind website aimed at preventing homicides and mass shootings by speaking directly to prospective killers (modeled on suicide prevention websites) and developed the "Warning Signs of a Revenge Attack" (modeled on heart attack prevention websites) to prevent violence before it happens. He also developed the School Nonjustice System bullying prevention and victim support program for use with schools and youth. He co-founded the largest peer support mental health agency in Pennsylvania, maintains an active legal practice, and is a speaker at workshops, seminars, trainings, conferences, and other public and private events. James is the author of three books on revenge and forgiveness: The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World's Deadliest Addiction--and How to Overcome It; The Trial of Fallen Angels, a novel; and Suing for Peace: A Guide for Resolving Life's Conflicts. James received his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and his B.S. summa cum laude from the Schreyer Honors College of the Pennsylvania State University.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Are Second Chances for Everyone? How do you know when you're ready for a second chance? Tina Yeager is joined by bestselling author of over 40 books, Kimberly Woodhouse, for a heartfelt conversation about “Second Chances.” Together, they explore how grace, forgiveness, and God's unwavering love make second (and twentieth!) chances possible—whether in our careers, relationships, or faith journeys. Kimberly shares insights from her latest novel, An Unexpected Grace, reflecting on characters who need renewal and the real-life experiences that shaped her storytelling. Hear stories of perseverance through crisis, the importance of supportive relationships, and honest struggles with grief and wounded hearts. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly eligible for a new beginning or how to hold on when life gets tough, this episode will encourage you to embrace hope, healing, and the abundance of grace waiting for you. Tune in for wisdom, practical encouragement, and stories that prove it's never too late for a second chance—with God, with yourself, and with others. Are second chances available to us all, even if we feel like we've run out of “do-overs”? Kim's response was powerful—she believes there is NO limit on second chances. God's grace is infinite, no matter how many times we fall or feel unworthy. In her words, “He's still there to pick me up out of the mud puddle and say, I love you, my daughter.” Hanging On When Life Gets Tough Kimberley shared heartfelt stories from her own life, including her family's struggles and how thousands have reached out to ask, “How did you get through it?” Her advice? “Tie a knot in the bottom of that rope and just hang on.” Whether it's singing, worshiping, or relying on supportive friends, Kimberley reminds us that clinging to hope and faith—especially in our lowest moments—is essential. Practical Ways to Persevere When navigating trials, Kimberley emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with prayerful friends, spending extra time in God's word, and holding yourself accountable with a supportive faith community. Even when we're trying our best, we may still fail—but God's forgiveness stretches further than we can imagine. Stories that Heal Kimberley's recent novel, An Unexpected Grace, explores the complexities of second chances in relationships. Through characters who face grief, shattered dreams, and wounded hearts, she demonstrates that healing and reconciliation are possible, even after years of pain. Through fiction, Kimberley believes we're able to experience truth and healing in fresh, relatable ways. Encouragement for the Wounded Whether you're grieving, struggling with broken relationships, or feeling distant from your God-given purpose, Kimberley urges us to remember: “God is not going to fail us the same way other people have.” Taking that step of faith, even when trust feels impossible, can lead to unexpected wholeness. Kimberley's Word of Hope Kimberley closed with her life verse: James 1:2-4—“Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.” She reminds us to look for joy even in tough seasons, trusting that God is shaping us along the way.

Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar dive into the rise of Christ consciousness, a concept gaining popularity in New Age circles and even surfacing in some evangelical conversations. This belief system claims that Jesus realized the Christ, expressed it, but was not the same as Christ Himself. Christ, in this view, is seen as a universal state of enlightenment or highest being—a form of Christian consciousness or self-realization accessible to anyone regardless of faith tradition. It's a rebranded version of Eastern mysticism, offering spiritual bliss and inner godhood. The guys warn that while it may sound spiritual, it denies the heart of the gospel.Christ consciousness redefines salvation as simply overcoming the illusion of separation from God, ignoring the reality of sin. But scripture presents sin as true rebellion against a holy and personal God. The gospel is about God stepping into time to rescue a lost people. Imago Dei speaks of our value and purpose, but the call is not to find ourselves—it is to lose ourselves and be found in Christ. The idea that Jesus is just an example overlooks His role as the only mediator between God and humanity. If He did not physically rise from the dead, then the Christian faith has no foundation.The guys emphasize the deceptive nature of Christ consciousness. Forgiveness is redefined as a vague awakening, the crucifixion becomes symbolic, and resurrection is reduced to ego transcendence. Yet without the resurrection, there is no power. Christianity, by contrast, is about God reaching down to save. Ray and E.Z. share personal stories of witnessing to those caught in New Age thought. These individuals often long for spiritual healing, but have been misled. The guys encourage believers to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, and engage with gentleness and respect. Remembering that we too were once lost, Christians are called to love people practically and persistently. Finding common ground can open doors to share the truth of the gospel. People searching for Christ consciousness are often longing for something real—something only Jesus can provide.The fullness of God dwells in Christ alone. New Age teaching fails to address sin, and no level of enlightenment can wash it away. Moral living may keep someone out of jail, but only the blood of Christ can rescue from judgment. The guys urge believers to stay grounded in scripture, recognize false teachings quickly, and never lose sight of the gospel. Any Christ that is not the incarnate Son of God is a counterfeit. Live in true awareness—not of yourself, but of Christ.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Forgiveness is one of the hardest choices we face—but it's also one of the most powerful. Today's guest, author Debbie Barr, reveals how forgiving others isn't just an act of obedience to God—it's a gift to ourselves. Many people don't realize this, but we pay a high price to our overall health when we cling to resentment, bitterness, and thoughts of revenge. So, through a blend of science, psychology, and Scripture, Debbie unpacks the life-changing benefits of forgiveness. Plus, she'll give you practical steps to start moving forward, helping you understand why “forgive and forget” is a myth, what to do when painful memories resurface, and why waiting for the “right emotions” before forgiving is a mistake. So, if you're struggling to forgive, wondering if you've truly forgiven, or simply need encouragement on your journey, listen in! You're about to get a taste of the freedom that comes with forgiveness. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/352 Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

“How good is good enough?” Here's the short answer. We could never be good enough to go to Heaven. It's simply not possible for humans to satisfy the justice of God with our efforts at being good. The Bible teaches us that being a good person could never save us. Instead, salvation is based on the goodness of Jesus, on our behalf.Main Points:1. Jesus, in kindness and love, took our sins upon himself and once and for all died in our place. This is the definition of goodness. God did for us what we could not do for ourselves. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, satisfying the justice of a righteous and holy God.2. Forgiveness of our sins and the promise of eternal life is received as a gift from God. We receive this gift as we confess Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. We place our faith in his death and resurrection for our sins, instead of placing our faith in our good works.3. Refuse to buy into the deception that you could be good enough to go to Heaven. Put your faith in Jesus, who was good on our behalf.Today's Scripture Verses:Judges 21:25 - “In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.Proverbs 14:12 - “There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.”Isaiah 64:6 - “We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags.”Titus 3:4-5 - “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.”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
Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love
In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb and Tony Arsenal delve into the letter of Philemon, focusing on the transformative power of the gospel in relationships. They examine Paul's heartfelt appeal to Philemon on behalf of Onesimus, a slave who has become a believer and is now returning as a brother in Christ. The discussion reflects on the profound theological implications of forgiveness, reconciliation, and Christian unity, as well as the way the gospel subverts societal roles while upholding spiritual kinship. Jesse and Tony explore the delicate yet powerful language Paul employs in his letter, highlighting how he appeals to Philemon's faith and love to guide his actions. Paul's request challenges Philemon to see Onesimus not just as a slave but as a beloved brother, emphasizing the radical equality that the gospel brings to all believers. The hosts unpack the layered dynamics of this relationship, showing how it serves as a practical application of the theology outlined in Colossians. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of living out the gospel in everyday relationships. Through Paul's example, believers are encouraged to prioritize love, forgiveness, and humility, embodying the transformative work of Christ in their interactions with others. This episode offers rich insights into how theology intersects with daily life, challenging listeners to reflect on their own relationships in light of the gospel. Key Points: Paul's appeal to Philemon demonstrates a balance between authority and love, showcasing how Christian leaders can guide others in faith. The gospel transforms relationships, breaking down societal barriers and emphasizing spiritual equality among believers. Forgiveness and reconciliation are central themes, as Paul challenges Philemon to welcome Onesimus back not as a slave but as a beloved brother in Christ. Questions for Reflection: How does the gospel challenge societal roles and transform relationships in your life? What can we learn from Paul's approach to addressing sensitive and difficult situations with love and tact? How does recognizing the spiritual equality of all believers impact your interactions within the church and beyond?

Jack is interviewed by Ocean Robbins to explore the big spiritual questions—why there is suffering, how to navigate duality, making the ordinary holy, and cultivating a loving witness.Discover Your Buddha Nature with Jack Kornfield, an online journey for reclaiming our dignity, compassion, and generosity, beginning June 2.“It's important to not use spiritual practice to set up an ideal or judge yourself. Sometimes you need to shut down, and then you open again. So the spiritual path is really about being with both the calm ocean and the storm.” – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack and Ocean mindfully explore:What first got Jack into mindfulness and meditationLife as beautiful, and an ocean of tearsSuffering, Buddhism, and the end of sufferingWhy is there suffering in the world?Navigating the reality of duality—form and emptiness, life and deathThe recycling nature of the universeHow to make the ordinary holyMeeting our lives with presenceA simple way to explain “The Witness”The magic of consciousnessA calming and deep guided meditation Holding fear and grief in compassionNot getting caught in reactions and angerActing the nobility of heart and your original dignity This episode was originally recorded for the Food Revolution Network in November of 2024. “Life is extraordinarily beautiful, and it's an ocean of tears. You can't have birth without death, you can't have light without dark, you can't have beginnings without endings. We live in a universe constructed of opposites. That's just the game of form, of duality. You can't have form without the emptiness from which it comes.” – Jack KornfieldAbout Ocean Robbins:Ocean Robbins is an American entrepreneur and author, best known for his role as the co-founder of Food Revolution Network, Inc.

Have you ever lived in a mindset where you're basically waiting for the other shoe to drop, hope feels impossible or too dangerous? It can feel safer to fly low, embrace pessimism and cynicism and think, “if life turns out half as bad as I imagine, then at least I'll be ready for it.” That's the kind of mindset Stephanie had when she was younger. Stephanie welcomes Nicole Zasowski, author and therapist, who shares wisdom on reclaiming joy and celebration in a world often dominated by worry and pessimism. Nicole's journey and research reveal that joy isn't just an emotional response, but a courageous, spiritual discipline rooted in God's faithfulness. Despite her deep faith, she had concluded that joy and celebration were risky. She was sure that celebration would come with a catch, so she became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to mourn and dreaming while rehearsing disaster. And yet she discovered that our methods of self-protection came at a cost. A lot of the loss we experience in our lives is not only the grief and the disappointment itself, but also the joy that we overlook because we are too afraid to embrace it, she tells us. That's the conversation on Gospel Spice today. Understanding the Struggle with Joy Nicole begins by dispelling the myth that celebration and joy come naturally to her—in fact, her books were born from seasons marked by change, loss, and disappointment. Through experiences like moving across the country and enduring infertility and miscarriages, Nicole discovered a heartbreaking truth: much of her loss was not just in what she lacked, but in her refusal to embrace the goodness that God placed in her path out of fear that it would be taken away. This led her into research, both biblical and scientific, to understand why joy can feel so vulnerable and difficult, especially when we've experienced pain. Redefining Celebration: A Spiritual Discipline American and Western cultures, Nicole notes, often see celebration as a reward for good news or accomplishments. However, the Bible—especially the Old Testament—demonstrates celebration as a spiritual rhythm and discipline, not just a reaction. The Israelites practiced regular, scheduled celebrations and feasts, regardless of their current circumstances. These rhythms were not designed to reward themselves for their goodness, but to remember and honor God's consistent faithfulness. Celebration, then, is about choosing remembrance: looking back at God's goodness and letting that fuel hope, courage, and anticipation about the future—even when circumstances are hard. The Vulnerability of Joy Joy is inherently vulnerable because it opens our hearts to the possibility of loss. For those who have experienced pain, pessimism and cynicism can become self-protective mechanisms. However, Nicole's research and experience as a therapist show that numbing ourselves to joy doesn't actually protect us. Rather, it diminishes our ability to savor God's goodness and leaves us empty-handed in difficult times. Practical Tools for Practicing Joy Nicole emphasizes that joy, like any virtue, can and must be intentionally practiced. Two key habits can help rewire our hearts toward joy: 1. Savoring: Take mental “snapshots” of small moments, deliberately noticing what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. This helps your brain store joyful experiences that might otherwise go unnoticed. 2. Thanksgiving (vs. gratitude): Beyond silently feeling grateful, speak and express thanks out loud—to God or others. Research shows that this actually heightens and solidifies joy inside us. Key Takeaways from our conversation · Joy and celebration are not merely emotions; they are spiritual practices and choices that shape us. · God invites us into rhythms of celebration even when our feelings or circumstances do not match, because it roots us deeper in remembrance of His faithfulness. · Practicing joy often feels counterintuitive—especially in pain—but it is the way God designed us to process life and hope. · Tools like savoring and thanksgiving can help transform our hearts and brains to default toward joy instead of worry or cynicism. Nicole encourages us that it's never too late to begin practicing joy, regardless of our life's season. The discipline of joy prepares us for eternity, deepening our delight in God and training our hearts for hope and celebration—no matter what comes our way.

Meet Nicole at https://www.nicolezasowski.com/ MORE ABOUT “DARING JOY” Joy can feel risky. When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it's safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you're not alone. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture—one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/daring-joy MORE ABOUT “WHAT IF IT'S WONDERFUL” What If It's Wonderful? Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows that it's difficult to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when you have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. When God has been your faithful anchor in the storm, does joy then leave you unmoored? Nicole reminds us that we can stay tethered to the hope of Christ in seasons of celebration, because even joyful days hold the learning, growth, and intimate encounters with Jesus that our hearts crave. What If It's Wonderful? offers a new perspective. With a compelling psychological and spiritual case for the importance of embracing joy and celebration, even when it feels scary. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/wonderful We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

Forgiveness is a radical act—it's not about holding someone's offense over their head like a debt, and it's also not about forgetting what they've done. So what is forgiveness in and of itself? In part one of two in this miniseries on forgiveness to reconciliation, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender debunk several misconceptions around what real forgiveness entails, revealing a much simpler approach that removes the pressure and pain normally associated with it. You'll learn how your relationship with God plays a critical role in truly forgiving someone and a sample prayer that you can use when you're not sure where to start. We've also included a graphic of the prayer below—scroll down to screenshot and save it for easy reference. Join us next week for part two of the series, where Darlene and Julie unpack the process of reconciliation.
