Conflict. Division. Disagreements. Whether it's with a neighbor, a co-worker, a friend—or even a stranger—navigating relationships isn't always easy. Yet somehow, we're called to love our neighbor.

What did Jesus say about divorce? Perhaps not as much as you would have guessed. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addressed a wide variety of hot-button subjects. Forgiveness. Reconciliation. Lust. Anger. Today, we come to what just might be the hottest button yet. Divorce. What did Jesus say about it, and how are we to interpret it? Ron helps you understand the subject next, as he continues his series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons From The Sermon On The Mount.”

Episode Summary: This episode is about confronting hard truths, establishing healthy boundaries, and the emotional freedom that comes from prioritizing our mental health over lifelong dysfunction. Susan Snow reflects on the moment she was written out of her mother's will—and why she still chose peace. She shares how understanding her self-worth allowed her to walk away without hate, guilt, or shame. Susan and the hosts explore how generational trauma, guilt-based parenting, and enabling behaviors can trap us in cycles of self-doubt. With courage, grace, and deep empathy, Susan discusses walking away from a toxic parent, standing in her truth, and becoming the mother, partner, and coach she always hoped to be. SEO Keywords: mental health boundaries, toxic family relationships, PTSD recovery, trauma coaching, choosing peace, mother-daughter estrangement, emotional freedom, forgiveness and healing, Susan Snow, journaling for mental health Meet Susan Snow Susan Snow is a courageous and heartfelt speaker whose life story shines as a beacon of healing and hope. At just 17, Susan's world was shattered when her father, LAPD Detective Thomas C. Williams, was ambushed and murdered on Halloween night in 1985. That moment changed everything, pulling her into the depths of grief and trauma. In the years that followed, Susan faced PTSD, loss, and the long, complicated process of rebuilding her life. But instead of letting the darkness define her, she turned her pain into purpose. By embracing vulnerability and speaking her truth, she has shown that healing is possible—even after unimaginable events. Today, Susan is the Author of a profoundly moving book that reminds us of two powerful truths: life can change in an instant, and recovery is always within reach. Whether speaking on stage or connecting through virtual events, Susan doesn't just share her story—she invites people into it. She creates space for others to see themselves, to grieve, to forgive, and to find their own resilience. Her signature talks, “Other Side of the Gun: Hope Through the Journey of Grief, PTSD, and Empowerment” and “Forgiveness vs. Forgetting,” go beyond inspiration. They offer honest guidance, compassion, and a roadmap for choosing hope over pain.

August 27, 2025 Wednesday night teaching by Jeff and Rose Colón Website: www.lighthouseontherockky.org Facebook: https://facebook.com/lotrchurch
Thisis what we are talking about today as we look at Ephesians 1:7-10: "Inwhom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according tothe riches of His grace." In the first six verses, we found the blessingswe have from God the Father. In God the Father, we have been chosen. We havebeen adopted into His family. We have been accepted in Christ. Now in theseverses we see the blessings that we have from the Person and the work andministry of Jesus Christ because of His blood. We have been redeemed and wehave been forgiven. We talked about that yesterday. Onething I want to go back to: I mentioned that evidence of our forgiveness is wehave the ability and power to forgive others. And I made the statement that ifwe cannot forgive others, maybe we haven't been forgiven. Now, that doesn'tmean that we are not a believer. It doesn't mean that we're not saved, but itmight mean we have not accepted the forgiveness that we have already in ChristJesus. Some people are forgiven but don't know they're forgiven. They've beenset free, but they don't know they've been set free. How sad. ReadRomans chapters 6, 7, and 8. There we read about the law of sin and deaththat's always pulling us down. But then there's the law of life in Christ Jesusthat we must also understand and accept, and that we believe in and that wewalk in. And when we do that, we're free. And we walk in that law of life inChrist Jesus through a life of humility. That's why so much is made abouthumility in Christ. The humility of Christ. He humbled Himself. We humbleourselves under the mighty hand of God. It is then that we receive the grace ofGod (James 4:6), “God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble”. Whenwe receive God's grace, we don't get bitter when people hurt us and they causeus pain. When they offend us. No, we're able to forgive because of humility. Weswallow our pride. We admit our sins, our guilt. Forgiveness is a daily thingfor us. And that is because every day we get our feet dirty in this world.We're human. We don't always respond correctly to the situations and problemsand hurts and challenges that we face and we misstep, and we must come to theLord every day. 1John 1 reminds us that if we say we've not sinned, we are a liar. The truth isnot in us. 1 John 1 is about the assurance in knowing that I'm a child of God andnow that “I can walk in the light as He is in the light, and the blood ofChrist is daily cleansing me from all sin”. And that means I'm forgivingothers also at the same time because of God's wonderful grace. InChrist, we are redeemed and because of that we have been forgiven. And then Paulgoes on in verse 7, to say, "Which He has made to abound toward us inall wisdom and prudence." We have everything we need to live that lifeof abundant life. Jesus said, "The thief came to steal, to kill, and todestroy” (John 10:10). That thief is the devil, and he wants to steal yourjoy. He wants to steal your peace. He wants to steal your walk with God. He's athief. He wants you to be miserable. He wants you to walk in darkness, myfriend. But Jesus came to set you free. And if the “Son sets you free, youwill be free indeed” (John 8:32-26). Youare free to love the Lord, free to love others, free to forgive others becauseyou've been forgiven. This again is a great blessing that we have. And Godgives us this grace. How does He give it? “In all wisdom and prudence”. Thismeans that we know how to respond to the problems in life. And we do itprudently. We do it the right way by the grace of God.Today,be encouraged!!! Deal with bitterness, deal with guilt, ask forgiveness, giveforgiveness, and walk with the Lord today. And what a wonderful life of freedomyou will have and enjoy in Christ today. Godbless!

What if the dream job… stops feeling like a dream? You've done all the “right” things—climbed the ladder, hit the milestones, made a real impact. From the outside, everything looks picture-perfect. But inside? You're running on fumes. LaRhonda Dingle Magras is a fierce advocate for women, girls, and human rights, dedicating her life to this mission. But at some point, the mission was costing her… her. And she had to make a choice: keep sacrificing herself for the cause, or choose herself. In this episode, we dive into LaRhonda's story, shared in her chapter “Restore” from Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Letting Go. She takes us through what it was like to walk away from the job that once meant everything—even when it was terrifying. Even without a backup plan. What followed? A season of deep healing. Faith. Forgiveness. And slowly finding her way back to joy. LaRhonda's story is a beautiful, brave reminder that letting go isn't giving up. It's making space for something more meaningful. Something that honors you.

“Healing is uncomfortable, the dysfunction may be painful, but it's familiar. Growth requires stepping into the unfamiliar.” What if the wounds you carry aren't just your own, but echoes of generations before you, and the path to freedom begins not with fixing the past, but by choosing to live differently today? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with psychologist, minister, and bestselling author Dr. Thema Bryant for a conversation that cuts to the heart of healing. Known for her groundbreaking work in trauma recovery and soulful living, Dr. Thema reveals that sensitivity, so often dismissed as weakness, is actually a profound gift, and that the very places we feel most broken can become the birthplace of compassion, resilience, and joy. Together, we explore the hidden ways intergenerational trauma shapes our choices, relationships, and sense of self, and how cycles of pain can finally be interrupted. Dr. Thema shares how forgiveness is often misunderstood, why healing can feel uncomfortable, and the daily rituals that keep us anchored in love when the world feels overwhelming. This is not just an interview about psychology. It's a soulful roadmap back to yourself, an invitation to release the weight of shame, reclaim your voice, and create a lineage of freedom. With warmth and spiritual depth, Dr. Thema reminds us that healing isn't reserved for a chosen few. It's possible for you, too. If you've ever wondered whether you can truly heal, or longed to break free from patterns that don't feel like they're even yours, this episode will give you the hope, the tools, and the courage to begin. Listen to this episode and learn how to transform sensitivity into strength, break cycles of inherited pain, and create a healing legacy of freedom and love.

In today's Morning Manna, we explore Proverbs 10:12, where Solomon draws a sharp contrast between hatred and love. Hatred stirs up conflict, keeping wounds open and divisions alive, while love chooses to cover sins, seeking restoration rather than retaliation.

We all have moments we wish we could take back—times when pride, frustration, or impatience gets the better of us. In this heartfelt devotional, inspired by Titus 3:4-5, we’re reminded that God’s grace and mercy aren’t earned by our own righteousness but are freely given through Christ. Through a personal story of conviction, apology, and reconciliation, we see how asking for forgiveness can restore broken relationships and reflect the gospel at work in our lives. ✨ Highlights Why asking for forgiveness is essential to living out our faith A personal story of pride, correction, and reconciliation How God’s mercy covers our shortcomings and restores relationships Practical encouragement for letting go of pride and seeking peace A reminder that Christ’s forgiveness empowers us to forgive others
In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi Silber dives into one of the most misunderstood yet essential parts of healing after betrayal: forgiveness. She explores forgiveness from two sides—forgiving ourselves and forgiving others—and unpacks the deep misconceptions that keep people stuck in pain, resentment, and confusion. You'll learn why forgiveness doesn't mean reconciliation, how it affects your physical, emotional, and mental health, and why self-forgiveness is just as important—if not more—than forgiving the person who hurt you. Dr. Debi also introduces the Window of Willingness, a framework to help you determine whether it's safe (or even wise) to rebuild with someone after betrayal. Plus, in honor of National Forgiveness Day (founded by Dr. Debi and held every year on September 1st), you'll hear about the 21-day forgiveness experience that has helped countless people move from pain to peace. If you've been holding on to anger, shame, guilt, or heartbreak—this episode is your invitation to finally let it go.
The struggle with forgiveness is explored, highlighting the tension between anger and surrendering to Jesus. Forgiveness reflects God's grace, and withholding it has consequences. Jesus teaches that forgiveness is necessary for receiving grace, and while it doesn't imply trust, it can be one-sided. Spiritual growth and self-forgiveness are vital for genuine faith.
St. Jane Frances De Chantal - Wife, Mother, Widow and Foundress of the Visitation Order (August 12). While married, Jane ably managed her husband's estate to provide for the care of the poor and the disenfranchised. After the untimely death of her husband of nine years who was accidentally shot in a hunting accident, she retreated into prayer and an austere life. She met Francis de Sales in Dijon, France (in 1604) and together, they founded the Congregation of the Visitation, a Religious Order that welcomed women who were unable to join existing Orders because of their age or infirmity. By the time of her death in 1641, Jane Frances De Chantal had founded over 85 convents of Visitation Sisters.

Journaling can be a game-changer in managing anxiety and improving sleep, especially when done before bed. Boundaries, forgiveness, and coaching are powerful tools in healing both yourself and your relationships. Actionable Items: Try expressive journaling nightly—write without censoring or editing, especially before bed. Practice box breathing or tapping to manage panic attacks and regulate your nervous system. Interview your therapist—ask about their specialties and be willing to walk away if it's not the right fit.

In this episode with all five pastors we try pumpkin spice Twinkies, we talk about wood-flavored ice cream, among many other topics, and focus in on forgiveness from Brooks' latest message in our series from Philemon.
We gathered in prayer and shared on biblical principles of restoration, unity, and burden-bearing within the body of Christ. We reflected on Galatians 6:2, considering how humility and submission allow us to bear one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ. Together we explored how spiritual growth and intimacy flow from right order—our relationship with God, then marriage, then the local assembly. The conversation also touched on Daniel's faith as an example of humility and dependence, showing how God's sovereignty works in the midst of human limitations. We emphasized that restoration is both personal and corporate, requiring us to be teachable, willing to receive comfort from others, and committed to walking in the Spirit. We concluded with prayer requests, reflections on sanctification as an ongoing process, and plans for fellowship, including an upcoming men's trip.

Can you rattle off the names of your great-great-grandparents?...
In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life
Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of the Recover Your Soul Podcast, we explore one of the most important and tender parts of the Soul Recovery journey—making peace with painful memories. When we hold on to resentment, we keep ourselves tied to the very moments that wounded us, replaying them again and again in our minds and bodies. True freedom comes not from erasing the past or pretending it didn't happen, but from meeting those memories with compassion, grace, and forgiveness—first for ourselves, and then, when we're ready, for others. As I continue to work on my own memoir, I've been revisiting some of the most difficult years of my life, and it has reminded me that every story, even the painful ones, can be seen through a new lens when we invite in spiritual awakening and Soul Recovery. This is not about minimizing the harm or excusing others—it's about choosing to release the grip of resentment so we can live fully in the present, whole and authentic. Join me as we talk honestly about how to move from grievance to peace, and how the 9-Step Soul Recovery Process offers a path to let go of what was and step into the freedom of who you truly are.I mention Mattie who is helping me in writing this book as a collaborator.
