Jesus made a statement to His disciples after giving them what is commonly referred to as The Lord's Prayer in Matthew Chapter 6. "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." As we compare this to some things Paul said about forgiveness in Ephesians chapters 1 and 4 (for example), we'll see a contrast. Did Paul and Jesus have a theological disagreement? Of course, this is not the case. But something changed from the time Jesus said what He said to His disciples before the cross, and when Paul was writing to believers after the cross. Forgiving others is important ... but it is not required as some sort of quid pro quo in order to be forgiven by God. But the power of God abiding in us will help us to forgive when we think it seems too difficult. --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7

We all carry past hurts, regrets, shame, and offenses—sometimes ones we replay over and over in our minds. In our daily prayer and devotional, Rachael Adams, host of The Love Offering Podcast, vividly recounts a gathering of teenage girls invited to lay down their pains on a cross and symbolically cross them out, illustrating what forgiveness looks like in radical form. God doesn’t just pardon our sins; He erases them, choosing not to keep a record of our offenses. As long as we confess and repent, He separates our wrongdoing from us, remembering them no more. But God’s mercy is not just for our own restored relationship with Him—it’s meant to shape how we treat others. We are called to forgive as He forgave us (Colossians 3:13). Forgiving doesn’t always mean forgetting in the sense of erasing memories. It means removing the debt, letting go of grievances, refusing to hold someone’s past mistakes against them. Liberation comes when we choose grace over bitterness, extending to others what God has extended to us. Bible Reading “As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”— Psalm 103:10–12 Key Takeaways God’s forgiveness is complete: He removes our transgressions and doesn’t retain them. Forgiveness is a deliberate choice—not forgetting, but no longer holding a debt against another. Our freedom in Christ empowers us to forgive those who have wronged us. Keeping no record of wrongs allows relationships to be renewed and hearts to be healed. Let’s Pray Together Lord, thank You for pardoning me and erasing my sins. Help me accept Your mercy fully and extend that same grace to others. Show me where I hold grudges or keep score of offenses. Give me strength to forgive, to release the record, and to love as You have loved me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Archbishop Joseph Naumann joins to share the heartbreaking details of his own father's murder and how he has learned to forgive the man that stole his dad from him.

Ah, the joys of a clear conscience. Entering a room of jostling colleagues, sure you've spoken kindly of each one. Finishing your tax return with certainty you've paid each charge the law required. Walking by mouth-watering chocolates for six days straight without even opening the box. This doesn't sound like your story? You either? The inner voice that calls to mind our secret crossings of the line is rarely ever silent. While waiting for much-needed sleep, we churn on memories we'd love to lose. We've whittled down our rivals; we gave ourselves deductions for “unspecified” expenses; we bought replacement boxes of those chocolate cremes we can't resist. The list our consciences won't leave alone is long—and growing longer. Which makes grace even lovelier when we discover its power and its healing. When God forgives us through the sacrifice of Jesus, He chooses—in His grace—to forget the very things we otherwise could not forget. “As far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12). The final word about our lives is not a litany of pride or gluttony or lust. The word is love—the kind that will not let us go. In grace, we may forget the things God chooses to forget. So stay in it. -Bill Knott

Drawing from my own experiences as a divorced mom and child of abandonment, I explore the transformative power of forgiveness - not just for others, but for ourselves. This isn't about letting someone off the hook; it's about freeing ourselves from the burden of pain and resentment so we can heal our hearts.Why Forgiveness MattersI share my personal journey of forgiving my mother, a decision that quite literally saved my life. Through this story, I illustrate how holding onto anger can be physically and emotionally destructive, while forgiveness can bring profound relief and peace.The Three Facets of Forgiveness1. Forgiving others: Understanding why it's essential and what happens when we don't.2. Forgiving ourselves: Addressing the guilt and self-blame that often plagues single moms.3. Forgiving those in our faith communities: Navigating the unique pain of being hurt by fellow believers.A Biblical PerspectiveWe'll examine forgiveness through a spiritual lens, reflecting on Christ's ultimate act of forgiveness and how it relates to our own struggles. I reference Ephesians 4:32, reminding us of our call to forgive as we have been forgiven.Key TakeawaysForgiveness is about your healing, not about the other personUnforgiveness is like a wound that never healsForgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving othersEven people in our faith communities can hurt us - they're human tooForgiveness doesn't excuse the behavior, but it frees you from its gripThis episode is part of a larger series on emotions that single moms often face. I encourage you to listen to the related episodes on anger, fear, and worry for a more comprehensive understanding of these challenges.As we conclude, I extend an invitation for connection and further discussion. Whether you're seeking mentorship or simply want to share your thoughts on this topic, I'm here to listen and support you on your journey towards healing and forgiveness.Related Episodes: Why Are You Angry [Season 7| Episode 40]What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid?

Valenti and Rico hear from the people regarding the Tigers/Scott Harris.

As a teenager, Michelle Ovalle agreed to help her aunt take photos at a Quinceañera, not thinking much of it. The Quinceañera changed Michelle's life.   While Michelle was captivated by the beauty of the Mass, she had no idea she was standing in the very church where her parents had been married and where she had been baptized. Michelle didn't even know she was Catholic. All of this and much more was revealed to Michelle once she got home and began to engage in the faith she was blessed with as a baby. Listen to this “mini retreat in a podcast” to hear Michelle's inspiring conversion story and learn how her Catholic faith has supported her through difficult seasons in marriage and parenthood, including infidelity. God has blessed Michelle with forgiveness, healing, and joy beyond her imagination. Discover how you can open your heart so that God can work miracles in you!

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Rebecca Crews and she opens up about the betrayal, addiction, and heartbreak that nearly ended her marriage to Terry Crews, and the raw reality of how those wounds affected her health. She shares the truth about betrayal trauma, what it took to rebuild trust, and why accountability is the foundation for any relationship that survives infidelity. We dive into the poison of unforgiveness, how holding on to bitterness only hurts you, and the radical shift that comes when you finally let go. Rebecca also offers practical tools for spotting red flags in relationships, navigating hard conversations with kids, and finding strength through faith and community. This episode is a reminder that forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting, and healing isn't about going it alone. It's about turning scars into stars and using your story to help others!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Unforgiveness is poison. Holding on to anger or bitterness doesn't hurt the other person, it only hurts you. Forgiveness is how you extract the poison and free yourself. Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting. You can let go of resentment without keeping people in your life who continue to hurt you. Boundaries and forgiveness go hand-in-hand. Accountability builds trust. After betrayal, words aren't enough. Real healing in relationships requires proof, transparency, and consistent actions, not just promises. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/rebeccakingcrews/?hl=en  Website: https://www.thelalifechurch.org/  Fashion Website: https://rebeccakingcrews.com/  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

The Difference Between Night and DayBUT - The light of Christ breaks through the darkness and futility and darkness of our minds. PAUL POINTS OUR WHAT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS - Ephesians 4:20 “But that is not the way you learned Christ!—” The Display of True Repentance The Life of the Believer is a life of transformation - Examples of Repentance: 1. Telling the truth. 2. Not allowing anger to consume you. 3. No longer a thief. 4. No corrupting talk. DOES YOUR SPEECH GIVE GRACE? The Contrast of Christian Living We are to put off the old way, the old man, the flesh. Those things are not Christ-like.

What makes them your enemy?Embrace Your Enemy by Praying for Them (v17-19)Embrace Your Enemy by Forgiving for Them (v26-27)Forgive your enemy because Jesus commands us to forgiveForgive your enemy because forgiveness releases you of their hold over youForgive your enemy because forgiveness is a required step toward reconciliation Forgive your enemy because you are an enemy who has been forgivenReflectionHow will you respond? What will you do? Will you embrace your enemy by praying for them, forgiving them? Or will you continue to remain enslaved in your self-made prison of anger and resentment?

Read Romans 5:6-11Sermon Footnotes“An enemy is someone we have defined as being against us in contrast to someone who is for us. Many of us have a strange need to divide the world up into people who are for us and those who are against us. Even more strange is that our identity is often dependent on having enemies. We don't exist without an enemy. We define ourselves by what we are opposed to. We define the enemy and the enemy is there to define us.” - Henry Nouwen, Following Jesus, p64“Hating the enemy costs us. We often allow the enemy to have power over us…Feelings of hatred, rejection, jealousy, and resentment enslave us in our self-made prison of fear.” - Henry Nouwen, Following Jesus, p66,67“In the New Testament our enemies are those who harbor hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility, for Jesus refuses to reckon with such a possibility.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Cost of Discipleship, p147-148“Through the medium of prayer we go to our enemy, stand by his side, and plead for him to God.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Cost of Discipleship, p149 Recommended Reading:Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer - specifically Chapter 13.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe stunning power of forgiveness takes center stage as we explore three extraordinary stories that changed the course of history. Through vivid storytelling, we journey back to other pivotal moments of forgiveness that transformed our world. We revisit Pope John Paul II's extraordinary meeting with his would-be assassin Mehmet Ali Ağca in 1983, where the Pope offered forgiveness to the very man who nearly took his life. The story continues with Robert F. Kennedy's impromptu speech on the night of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968, where his call for love rather than vengeance prevented riots in Indianapolis while violence erupted across 119 other American cities.Then we end with a breathtaking account of Erika Kirk's remarkable act of grace—forgiving her husband Charlie Kirk's assassin before 80,000 people and millions watching worldwide, just eleven days after his murder. Her words, "That young man... I forgive him because it was what Christ did and what Charlie would do," showcase a profound spiritual strength that transcends human understanding.These three powerful narratives reveal a common thread—the supernatural ability of forgiveness to break cycles of hatred and violence. Each story demonstrates how choosing love in moments of unimaginable pain can transform not just individual lives but entire communities. The raw emotional power of Erika Kirk's forgiveness, delivered in real-time before a global audience, stands as perhaps the most extraordinary example of Christian forgiveness many of us will witness in our lifetimes. What would our divided world look like if we all possessed such courage to forgive? Correction:  RFK's gravemarker doesn't contain the words from the poet Aeschlysus.   It contains two other inscriptions:   click here for the official Arlington cemetery link of his grave marker.  Key Points from the Episode:• Pope John Paul II visiting and forgiving his would-be assassin Mehmet Ali Ağca in prison• Robert F. Kennedy's speech following Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination that prevented riots in IndianapolisErika Kirk's remarkable act of forgiveness toward her husband Charlie Kirk's assassin just eleven days after his murder• The spiritual dimension of forgiveness as demonstrated through these powerful historical examples• How these acts of forgiveness created lasting change beyond the immediate moment• The contrast between worldly reactions to violence and the transformative power of Christian forgivenessOther resources: Want to leave a review?

The role of the eldest sibling is often rife with high expectations, great responsibility and sometimes a little trauma. Now imagine being the eldest DAUGHTER. It's a unique experience that may come with many wounds that we try to escape from, and heal on our own. It is only after experiencing that nothing heals you like Jesus, that you can forgive and finally step into your God ordained role as the leader in your family that He has created you to be. Don't let the enemy trick you out of your spot! 

Unforgiveness can keep us trapped when we hold onto anger and resentment that only deepens our pain. It robs us of peace and keeps old wounds open. This week, Rhonda James Woolard returns to the podcast with a powerful reflection on the miracle of forgiveness. She shares how God gave her the freedom to release bitterness, even toward her stepfather, who never once apologized for the deep harm he caused.  Rhonda's words, “I had no ill will against my step-dad,” capture the kind of healing that only God can bring. This conversation invites us to consider what forgiveness makes possible in our own lives and how it can transform even the most painful stories into testimonies of grace.

Charlie Kirk Memorial Becomes Historic Revival as the World Honors Fallen Conservative Leader!

Do you ever feel like you're waiting for the “right moment” before making a change? You want to feel safe, certain, and fully confident before you take the leap. But that hesitation keeps you stuck in the same old cycle. The longer you wait, the heavier the doubt grows. Fear, resentment, and old beliefs whisper that you'll fail again, so you hold back. And while you wait, the peace and freedom you crave stay just out of reach. The truth is, transformation starts with action first. When you leap -– even while scared — you create the belief and momentum you've been missing. With the right tools, like Hypnosis and rewiring your mindset, you can finally let go of the past and step into lasting freedom. Let's dive into this episode and know the importance of self-trust, forgiveness, and letting go of shame to achieve lasting change. Let's explore how aligned action, subconscious healing, and releasing past resentment can break the cycle of dieting.  “You must take action first. Then the belief strengthens you.

I once read this in an article in Reader's Digest: “Primates, like bonobos, mountain gorillas and chimps often follow confrontations with friendly behavior like embracing or kissing…The only species that has so far failed to show outward signs of reconciliation is the domestic cat.”1 Unfortunately, there are more than a few cats in the church today. When Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who sins against him, suggesting seven times as generous, Jesus responded with “seventy-seven times,” meaning there's no limit to forgiveness. C.S. Lewis put it best when he said that we all agree that forgiveness is a beautiful idea until we have to practice it. But through the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21–35, you will discover being forgiven means forgiveness is part of your calling and how to practice it.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the world is racked with a mix of emotions. The five steps of grief have become very real in the global process of healing: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Praying is central to healing and forgiveness. Praying and forgiveness are central to our faith. Forgiving our enemies is commanded of us from GOD. "But if you enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head."
