Today our guest is Jake Sapp who worked as a cop in Kansas City for fifteen years before leaving it all behind for a civilian job. The problem is that he didn't leave it all behind; the damage done by bad leadership left it's mark in Jake, and that followed him to the next career. Today we're going to talk about how a cop stays healthy emotionally when his dreams are dashed, his career is ended, but the bitterness remains against bad leaders.Music is by LesFMHey Chaplain podcast episode 147Tags:Police, Anger, Bitterness, Calling, Career, Communication, Compassion, Humility, Insensitivity, Leadership, Manpower, Military, Quitting, Teaching, Kansas City, MissouriSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Infidelity remains one of the biggest challenges in relationships, but does every act of cheating mean the end of a marriage? This discussion explores forgiveness, trust, consequences, and whether couples can rebuild after betrayal
"Don't worry about it. It's all gonna work out. Everything is figure-outable." —Lisa Cruz Most people don't need more money to invest in their business — they need to stop seeing that investment as a cost. That's the mindset shift former ER nurse turned auto shop co-owner Lisa Cruz brings to this episode of the Daniel Gomez Inspires Show. Lisa spent 25 years as a registered nurse before walking away to help run her husband Ricky's auto repair business — which, at the time, was operating out of shoeboxes with no bookkeeping, no filed taxes, and no system. She explains exactly how she brought structure to that chaos, why a $400 Chamber of Commerce membership terrified Ricky but changed their business, and how a $1,000 marketing spend turned into a $5,000 job. Along the way, she opens up about forgiving her son's father, letting go of resentment toward her own parents, and the surprising story of how their shop grew from a single cow-pasture location to a second site that sees 30,000 cars drive by every day. This episode is for any entrepreneur who feels stuck between wanting to grow and being afraid to spend — and for anyone still carrying resentment that's quietly holding their life or business back. Key takeaways: Ricky refused to buy clipboards for tracking repair orders, so Lisa bought them herself with her own money — a small decision that became the foundation of their record-keeping system. A $400 investment in a Chamber of Commerce membership generated years of revenue that far outweighed the initial fear of spending it. A $1,000 marketing investment returned a $5,000 job, proving that treating spending as an investment — not a cost — changes what a business can become. Lisa's father used to tell her she had a way of stepping into trouble and coming out "smelling like roses" — a mindset she now credits for staying calm through business setbacks. Forgiving her son's absent father and letting go of childhood resentment toward her parents freed up energy she had been spending on bitterness instead of growth. A change in Texas inspection law cut a nearby shop's revenue in half overnight — Lisa and Ricky bought that "dying" business anyway and turned it into a second location on a road with 30,000 daily cars. Listen to the full conversation for the story behind Lisa's book, Keeping Up with the Cruzes, and how she turned a decade of unfiled taxes into a thriving two-location business.

Would you like to better understand your patterns and feel more empowered? Do you sometimes have a challenging time finding the positive in certain situations? Lisa continues the conversation today with researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped literally thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is "Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment." Ravinder talks about the importance of choice. If bad things happen, it is not your fault. She asks us to ask, "What do you gain when you have a problem?" What is the difference between being informed and being prepared? How can you be aware of a problem or upcoming situation, yet not attract it? Ravinder has studied optimism and pessimism. Some people believe that doom-scrolling is about helping them feel more prepared. People have the "hope" that if they have information, they can be prepared so the worst-case won't happen. If someone looks for the negative, they will not have an enjoyable time and will feel stressed. Ravinder talks about statistics which show how much healthier people can be if they are more optimistic. What you expect, you observe. Your body will either fight or grow. Cortisol makes us feel stressed and can affect our hearts. She discusses actual techniques to increase optimism. We can be aware that some things will not work out, but if we are optimistic, we can grow and have a happier quality of life. Her "Mind Training" book talks all about the benefits of optimism and positive thinking. We can learn when things go wrong, and that means you have grown as a person. If your self-talk is positive, you cannot be depressed. Ravinder also talks about compassion and forgiveness. She talks about the prison system and studies about blame. We may need to separate ourselves from toxic people and toxic situations, but we can still offer forgiveness. She talks about the idea of "Forgiving the Unforgivable," and Free Will. We have choices and we can teach by example. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com
MIRACLES FOR YOU Sondra Ray & Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles
Can we connect with our reality? This light of Creation is in us. Can we allow it to shine through us? We can give our personal lies credence, or we can look past this darkness toward the light. The peace of God, which emanates from this light, is "shining in us now" whether we acknowledge it or not. It is there, but we have been distracted in our vision of a darkened self of the ego. Forgiving ourself for this error is essential to restore our vision of the light again. The Peace of God is all encompassing, and it is more powerful than the mistakes we have made. Admitting the falseness of our perception begins to invoke the help of the Christ to restore our vision back to truth, back to a "forgiven world" in which we accept the inner correction given us through the Peace of God.
In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and reflect on how loving appreciation and reconciliation are the places where friendship matures. We talk about why healthy adult friendships draw us closer to the Lord, how the unique gifts of women and men reveal different facets of God's love, and how learning to behold another's beauty without trying to grasp or possess it calls forth our true identity. We also discuss the importance of recognizing how we've hurt others, expressing sincere sorrow, and allowing others to do the same. As we bring our wounds, suffering, and sin into the love of Christ, we discover that the very places we fear most can become the biggest places of resurrection.

Journal Questions: Am I maturing as a friend? What does the Holy Spirit want to teach me through my friendships? Am I currently experiencing conflict or frustration in a relationship? What is the pain or trigger I feel beneath the conflict? Can I receive the gift of beauty without trying to grasp or possess it? How have I failed to uphold the dignity of my friends? Am I experiencing the fullness of who I am? What parts of myself am I hiding from my relationships? Discussion Questions: When have you experienced your own uniqueness in a friendship? Did you experience your uniqueness as a gift to give or as an insecurity to hide? How is the Lord inviting you to more freely receive your friends rather than possessing them? How have you participated in belittling or sarcasm in your relationships? How have you participated in or been on the receiving end of judgment within friendships? Where does the Lord want to love you into a place of freedom? Quote to Ponder: "The intimacy of adult friendship in the Spirit can teach us to aspire to the fullest possible intimacy with the Lord himself. The tenderness of one friend toward another is the image of God's own tenderness, when the friends truly love each other in the Spirit." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 62) Scripture for Lectio: "Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

In this episode, Mike and Trevor sit down with author and workshop leader Alison Armstrong to talk about shame, and specifically the kind a lot of men carry around without naming it. Armstrong makes a claim that catches both hosts off guard: shame isn't proof you're a bad man. It's a sign you hold yourself to standards that are impossible to meet. That opens up a longer thread on self-forgiveness and why saying "I'm only human" reads more like a confession than an excuse. Trevor talks about his seven years in recovery, including the years his addiction cost him with his daughters. Forgiving himself, he says, was what finally let him show back up for them. The conversation also gets into how the brain handles addiction and why anger can be easier to sit with than fear. It's an honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversation about accountability and being straight with yourself.

When Jesus taught us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors,” He was not teaching that we earn forgiveness by forgiving others. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that salvation is by grace through faith—not by works—because Christ paid our eternal debt once and for all at the cross. Forgiving others is not a payment toward our forgiveness. It is evidence of spiritual life. Once we have received God's forgiveness in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts, we are called to become people who extend grace to others. Dr. Youssef explains that forgiveness has two sides: transforming your attitude toward the person who hurt you and transforming your relationship with that person when possible. Both require courage, because resentment often gives us a scapegoat and a weapon to hold in reserve. But real forgiveness does not keep people locked in the prison of their past mistakes. It releases the grudge, refuses to weaponize the offense, and makes room for a genuine fresh start. In Christ, forgiveness becomes not bondage, but freedom. Pray with me. Father God, help me transform my attitude toward those who have offended me and give me the courage to transform my relationship with them as well. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

In Cast Out: A Call For A Forgiving Society in an Age of Incarceration (Beacon Press, 2026), civil rights lawyer Joseph Margulies insists that those who commit even the most heinous crimes are one of us and should be judged in a spirit of forgiveness. He explains that American society is too often unforgiving, preferring to cast out those we consider irredeemable by fixating narrowly on the question What did they do? and imagining that those who have done great wrongs have no past worth learning and no future worth preserving.Through intimate interviews, his rich chapters bring to life 6 men and women, sharing their (sometimes brutal) crimes, the grim but all-too-human paths that led them there, and their evolution and insights. Eye-opening and unflinching, Cast Out makes us truly see those society locks away—the so-called “worst of the worst.” It challenges the reader to see us in them and them in us, and in that way, to recognize the humanity we all share.

Why I don't hate the person who tried to kill me in Norway's worst terror attack from a far-right extremist. Bjorn Ihler speaks to Lives Less Ordinary, the podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Fifteen years ago today, on 22 July 2011, Bjorn Ihler was a 20-year-old performing arts student and a member of the youth division of the Norwegian Labour Party. He participated in the Party's summer camp on Utøya island, about 35km from Norway's capital Oslo, when Norway suffered its worst terror attack in recent history. Anders Breivik was a far-right extremist who launched a bomb attack on government offices in Oslo. Two hours later he attacked the summer camp that Bjorn was attending. 77 people were killed that day – the majority on the island. Bjorn survived and helped save two young boys who were also on Utøya. Just days after the incident Bjorn threw himself into trying to understand how someone could behave this way. Today, Bjorn is an expert in preventing radicalisation and extremism and alongside his wife co-founded the Khalifa Ihler Institute which promotes peace, human rights, and community.

Ep. 215 - Kimberly sits down with author, speaker, and mind-set coach Jaikishaan Sharma. After losing his job, buying a home, and welcoming a newborn daughter, Jackishan suffered a life-altering accident when he was hit by a speeding car as a pedestrian. Doctors gave him just a 5% chance of ever walking again. Paralyzed from the waist down, Jackishan plunged into financial hardship, severe depression, and suicidal ideation. However, a single transformative moment with his young daughter sparked a inner shift. Through intense mindset work, journaling, formal and informal mindfulness, water therapy, and sheer determination, Jackishan went from paralyzed in a wheelchair to standing back up on his feet. Today, he shares his roadmap to help others break through physical and emotional trauma.

Forgiving someone is not about that person, it's about you taking back your peace and power. God has called on us to forgive just as he forgave us. I believe that when you forgive it unlocks a door to a blessing that God has for you. Forgive but never forget. Forgive and let God do the rest. Time is what we want the most, but it's also what we use the worst. Imagine setting a schedule every day that points towards what you want and who you want to be. The time is there, but are you willing to take advantage of the time?

Zach sits down with Jim and Kelly, married 30 years, while Jim trains for the Ironman World Championship in Kona and works through his 25th round of chemotherapy. Jim was diagnosed with terminal cancer in April 2024. Rather than pulling back, he set a goal: arrive alive in Kona, finish under 17 hours, promote a book he wrote during treatment, and raise $100,000 for the Ironman Foundation. Zach wants to know how a marriage holds two massive commitments, endurance racing and cancer, without one crowding out the other.The conversation moves through how Jim and Kelly built their life around his training long before the diagnosis, how Kelly's own history (her father died suddenly of a heart attack in the family kitchen) shaped what she wanted from illness and from goodbye, and how Jim reframed a terminal diagnosis into a reason to get up in the morning instead of a reason to despair. Jim lays out a "clean slate" philosophy for resolving conflict, and a theory that couples fall deeply in love early on but only fall widely in love over years, building a base wide enough that nothing can knock it over. Kelly talks about the independence they each brought into the marriage and why that, not merging into one identity, is what makes it work.What lands hardest is Jim's line that cancer can take his body, but not his heart, his mind, or his soul. It is not denial. It is a couple who decided, together, what they were willing to hand over and what they were not. Listeners get a clear-eyed look at what it takes to keep a marriage, and a life, moving forward on your own terms after the ground shifts under you.Key TakeawaysOptimism is not a fixed trait. Jim calls it a muscle you have to work daily, like discipline.A terminal diagnosis does not have to mean the end of ambition. Jim's mindset shifted from "why do Ironman" being about the finish line to being about the start line, then about the 400 training sessions nobody sees.Complacency, not conflict, is what erodes a long marriage. Jim names it as the mistake he made over 30 years: not doing or saying the things he once did.The "clean slate" rule: resolve an issue, then let it go completely. No revisiting it a month later.Deep love happens fast. Wide love, the kind that can't be knocked over, only comes from years of showing up.Keeping life normal matters more than most people expect. Jim's oncologist told him and Kelly to resist letting cancer change how people treat him.Independence inside a marriage is not a threat to it. Jim and Kelly both came in with established businesses and identities, and neither has ever told the other "you can't."Forgiving and forgetting are two different acts. Jim says you have to do both, or the resentment eventually surfaces.Guest InfoJim: Endurance athlete and Ironman triathlete for roughly 30 years, retired home inspector (30 years, about 15,000 inspections). Diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer in April 2024. Author of Just Keep Tri-ing, written during treatment, with profits going to the Ironman Foundation toward a $100,000 fundraising goal (about $25,000 raised at the time of recording). Training to compete in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, on October 10, 2026. Kelly: Jim's wife of 30 years. Works in real estate at a high level and previously served as a compliance officer for the State of Georgia, managing 85 agents.Links:Just Keep TRI-ING https://amzn.to/3RihdZ4https://www.instagram.com/stage42025/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The heart of the Gospel is that Christ died for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:3). Central to the Incarnation, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus is that we need the forgiveness He provided for us to be made right with God. But what about our forgiving each other? One of the Hard Sayings of a Kind Savior is that Jesus said we cannot be forgiven unless we forgive others. Really? Join us as we wrestle with this theme, but even more as we search our own hearts. Having received forgiveness from God, are we willing to forgive each other?
I've tried it and thought I had found the perfect place. Nope. God was already there. Waiting. With open arms. Forgiving. With an open heart. And, still calling!

The Lord’s Prayer: Part 5 - Forgiven and Forgiving It’s hard to admit we need forgiveness. We often don’t live up to our own standards—let alone God’s. Which is why the New Testament authors remind us over and over again about our need for forgiveness. But it doesn’t stop there; when we realize God forgives us, and what it cost him to do that, we should aspire to forgive. Jesus knew this wouldn’t be easy for us and reminds us to pray about it by linking our own forgiven-ness to forgiving others.

Why does God forgive only as much as we forgive?

He examines how high-control religion responds to tough questions and why these core issues matter.
