Send us a textTitle: Let It Go – Breaking Free from Guilt and ShameGuilt and shame are silent destroyers—stealthy burdens that weigh down even the most faithful believers. In this powerful episode, we expose how these toxic emotions keep people spiritually stuck, exhausted, and unable to fully embrace the freedom Jesus already secured for them.We begin by clarifying the critical difference:Guilt says, “You did something wrong.”Shame says, “You are something wrong.”Understanding this distinction is vital, because guilt can sometimes lead to conviction and growth—but shame distorts your identity. And despite Romans 8:1 declaring that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” many Christians continue to live under the shadow of condemnation.Using the powerful image of a train pulling unwanted carriages, we illustrate how emotional baggage drains spiritual vitality. Whether it's mistakes from the past or trauma that wasn't your fault, the weight of guilt and shame can derail your walk with God. This episode speaks directly to abuse survivors, assault victims, and anyone who's internalized blame they were never meant to carry.But the Gospel is good news. We share redemptive truth from Isaiah 43:25, where God declares, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.” When God forgives, He also forgets. Yet we often continue to replay scenes of failure and pain in our minds.The path to freedom isn't denial—it's acknowledging your wounds, inviting the Holy Spirit to heal, and choosing to replace the enemy's accusations with God's Word. We talk practically about how to:Uncouple emotional “carriages” of shame from your lifeConfess safely with trusted spiritual companionsLet God's truth redefine your identityThis isn't self-help—it's spiritual transformation. You don't have to drag guilt and shame behind you anymore. The price has already been paid. The chains are already broken.Christian podcast about guilt and shame, biblical freedom from condemnation, Romans 8:1 explained, difference between guilt and shame, healing emotional wounds through Christ, Isaiah 43:25 message of forgiveness, overcoming Christian shame, spiritual identity restoration, Holy Spirit and memory healing, breaking spiritual strongholds podcast, letting go of emotional baggage, train and carriage spiritual analogySupport the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/https://www.rbchristianradio.net/

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9Each year, Christians pause to remember Good Friday—the day Jesus Christ was crucified. At first glance, calling this day “good” may seem strange. After all, it marks one of the darkest, most sorrowful moments in human history. But for those who trust in Christ, Good Friday isn't the end of the story—it's the turning point. It's the day God's grace was poured out most fully and most freely.Good Friday invites us into a sacred tension—one of deep sorrow and overwhelming gratitude. It reminds us that Jesus didn't just die for us—He died instead of us. The pain He endured was not only physical but also spiritual. The weight He carried to the cross wasn't just a wooden beam but the full weight of our guilt and rebellion.And yet, it was love—not nails—that held Him there.The Financial Language of RedemptionHere on Faith & Finance, we often discuss budgeting, investing, and managing money well. But Scripture frequently uses financial imagery to communicate spiritual realities. This isn't a coincidence. Terms like debt, ransom, redemption, and inheritance appear throughout the Bible to help us understand the gravity of sin and the beauty of salvation.“The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Romans 6:23“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45“You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” - 1 Corinthians 6:20These verses paint a clear picture: our sin incurred a debt that only Jesus could pay.Tetelestai: It Is FinishedIn John 19:30, as Jesus gave up His spirit, He cried out, “It is finished.” The Greek word He used—tetelestai—was more than a declaration of His suffering ending. It was a victory cry.In the ancient world, tetelestai was written across receipts to show that a debt had been paid in full. It was the word a priest would use after examining a spotless lamb and declaring it worthy for sacrifice. It was a servant's report that a task had been completed.So when Jesus spoke it from the cross, He was announcing the completion of His mission: the debt of sin had been fully, finally paid. Jesus didn't come to make a down payment on our salvation. He didn't cover part of the cost and leave the rest up to us. He paid it all.That means you and I no longer live in spiritual deficit. We live in the overflow of God's grace. There's no more striving to earn God's favor, no more guilt weighing us down. Instead, we live in joyful obedience—not to gain life, but because in Christ, we've already found it.Why Good Friday Is Truly GoodGood Friday is good not because it was easy but because it was enough.At the cross, God demonstrated the greatest act of generosity the world has ever seen. Jesus gave everything so that we could receive everything. His riches were traded for our poverty. His life was given to cover our debt. And now, because of Him, we are invited into the riches of His grace.So, as we reflect today, may we hear His final words echo in our hearts—It is finished. The debt has been paid. The way to the Father is open. The shame is gone. And the invitation to live fully, freely, and faithfully has been extended to each of us.From Financial Fear to Freedom in ChristIf this message resonates with you, we invite you to explore Look at the Sparrows, our 21-day devotional designed to address financial fear and anxiety through the lens of the gospel. In it, you'll discover how the riches of God's grace free us from worry and invite us to trust fully in His provision.On this Good Friday, rest in this truth: Jesus has already paid the price. Now we get to live generously, not from fear but from freedom.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I want to send money to my three cousins in Europe who are in a difficult economic situation.

Cory McKenna, founding president of The Cross Current, joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss the power of leading by example in evangelism. Cory, once a pastor who struggled with sharing his faith, shares his story of conviction. The discussion highlights that all the men at the table are byproducts of strong leadership in evangelism. Cory emphasizes that pastors should be examples in evangelism, as imitation is central to discipleship. Modern Christianity often prioritizes information over transformation, but biblical discipleship resembles an apprenticeship. Jesus didn't simply teach—He commanded His followers to walk alongside Him. Leaders should bring people into their lives as Paul instructed Timothy.The discussion explores how evangelism should be ingrained in church life. There are only three times in scripture the world evangelism is used, yet the role is essential in equipping the church. Many Christians are being discipled but not discipling others. E.Z. warns that churches neglecting evangelism should concern us. Christians should feel compelled to reach the lost because today is the only guaranteed time to share. Evangelism is a natural expression of joy in salvation. Cory stresses that worship is obedience, and witnessing is an act of worship. Everything we do should reflect Christ. Fear often hinders evangelism, but love should overcome it. Christians should not linger too long in apologetics—rather, they should step out and share the gospel.Being a witness extends beyond words; our lives must align with the message we preach. Just as lawyers attempt to discredit witnesses, the world watches Christians closely. We are heralds of the kingdom, returning from glimpsing the future to tell the world. The most enthusiastic evangelists are those deeply impacted by the gospel. Evangelism is unique—it's the only pyramid scheme where everyone wins. If a Christian isn't sharing the gospel, they should examine their faith. Fear is common, but fearing the Lord should motivate us to persuade others. Serving the world over God means lacking holy fear. A judge doesn't seek eloquence but truth—likewise, Christians should simply share what they've seen and heard. Guilt over inaction should drive us toward evangelism. Paul exemplifies this burden for the lost in Philippians.Evangelism begins in the home. Parents must model faith to their children, showing them the power of the gospel at the dinner table. Small, consistent efforts—preaching to neighbors, handing out tracts, setting goals—will grow into a lifestyle of evangelism.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this honest and vulnerable two-part episode, Carey shares the hidden struggles she faced with intimacy throughout her 30-year marriage while raising seven children.At just nine years old, Carey was exposed to adult magazines that distorted her understanding of intimacy. By 13, she found herself in relationships where intimacy felt more like something expected of her than something she chose.Married at 21 while still finishing school, she quickly began to see sex and intimacy as a burden—an obligation she was expected to fulfill. Guilt weighed heavily on her for not wanting it, and resentment grew toward her husband's repeated attempts to initiate. Eventually, Carey stopped touching him altogether, leading to mounting tension and emotional distance in their marriage.In her search for answers, Carey turned to countless “experts,” only to be met with confusion and misinformation that left her feeling even more broken and isolated. Meanwhile, her husband was left wondering if she truly loved him.But that wasn't the end of their story.

If you're a foster or adoptive mom, there's a good chance you've felt it. That deep, nagging guilt that whispers: You're not doing enough. You should have handled that better. You shouldn't feel this way. They deserve more than you can give. I call it the guilt spiral—and it's a space so many of us end up in, often without even realizing it. It starts small, with a moment of self-doubt. But it snowballs quickly, pulling us into a pit of shame, anxiety, and relentless pressure to be everything for everyone. I've been there—more than once. And I want to talk about it today because I know how lonely and exhausting it feels to carry guilt silently. I also know that it doesn't have to be this way. In this post, I'm sharing why the guilt spiral happens so often in foster and adoptive motherhood, how it affects us (and our families), and most importantly—how to get out of it. Let's breathe some truth and grace into this together. Join the Foster Mama LIfeline Here: https://stan.store/fearless_fostering

In this episode, hosts Ash and Dusty tackle the pervasive issue of phone addiction, especially as it relates to individuals with ADHD. They explore how the constant stimulation of smartphones can lead to feelings of guilt and shame, as well as frustration from lost time. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding individual motivations behind phone usage and how it serves different needs, from distraction to connection. Both hosts share personal anecdotes and strategies for navigating phone usage while maintaining a healthy relationship with technology. The discussion also highlights that not all phone usage is inherently negative; it can be a valuable tool for engagement and connection when used mindfully.

Episode Overview   In this unfiltered and dynamic episode of Higher Density Living, host Jason Rigby sits down with Dr. Audrey Schnell, an emotional intelligence expert with over 40 years of experience studying human behavior, self-sabotage, and personal transformation. With an M.A. in Clinical Psychology and a Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Dr. Schnell brings a unique blend of science-backed insight and practical wisdom to the conversation. She's spent decades helping clients—from entrepreneurs to everyday individuals—end self-sabotage, master their emotions, and unlock their potential. Together, Jason and Dr. Schnell dive into the messy truths of emotions, boundaries, and productivity, offering actionable strategies to turbocharge emotional intelligence and live a more intentional life.   Guest Bio: Dr. Audrey Schnell Credentials: M.A. in Clinical Psychology, Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Biostatistics Experience: Over 40 years researching why and how people change Mission: Enables clients to stop self-sabotage, eliminate emotional triggers, and achieve their goals by identifying blind spots and mastering emotions Impact: Helps individuals and businesses build long-term relationships, turn difficult clients into success stories, and reach peak performance Achievements: Featured speaker at retreats, frequent podcast guest, and founder of two successful online summits featuring 20+ top experts in healing and peak performance Personal Life: Lives off-grid on 40 acres in rural West Virginia with her husband and dogs Website: audreyschnell.com     Key Topics Discussed   Boundaries: The Ultimate Power Move (00:36 - 06:51) Why We Struggle with Boundaries: Dr. Schnell explains that boundaries are less about others and more about self-care—what we're willing to accept or not. Many fail to set them due to a need to be liked, hypervigilance, or fear of rejection. Practical Tip: For entrepreneurs, set time boundaries (e.g., no client texts at 6 a.m. unless it's a true emergency). A simple automated response like “I've seen your message and will reply soon” can ease the pressure. Jason's Insight: Entrepreneurs often get addicted to busyness, feeding off high cortisol levels and the need to feel wanted. Saying No to Good Things: Dr. Schnell highlights the challenge of rejecting appealing opportunities that derail focus—a lesson reinforced by Jason's anecdote about a billionaire who mastered saying “no” to amazing offers.   2.  Emotional Intelligence for Everyone (12:14 - 18:22) Underrated EI Skill: Empathy is the game-changer we're sleeping on. It's about understanding others' feelings, not just feeling them (empathy vs. sympathy). Cultural Traps: Jason notes society's victimhood obsession, asking how narcissists can develop empathy. Dr. Schnell debunks the overuse of “narcissist” labels and urges people to escape survival mode to unlock self-awareness and empathy. Practical Application: In relationships, aim to connect, not win. Start conversations from shared goals (e.g., “We both want to retire by 70”) and ask curious questions like “What made you say that?” instead of arguing.   3. The Science of Getting Things Done (09:15 - 11:41, 21:24 - 28:10) Dr. Schnell's Journey: Her shift from clinical psychology to research (sparked by the rise of computers in the ‘80s) taught her discipline and the power of starting overwhelming projects. Fear of Finishing: People avoid completing projects due to fear of imperfection or uncertainty about “what's next.” Dr. Schnell calls BS on perfectionism—it's often avoidance or lack of commitment, not a noble trait. Discipline Equals Freedom: Procrastination stems from relying on urgency rather than motivation. Jason ties this to his own shift from fear-driven hustle to intentional discipline, noting it protects the nervous system.   4. Dumbest Emotional Traps and How to Escape (29:09 - 37:18) The Trap: Worry and selfishness top the list. Worry is “praying for the outcome you don't want,” draining energy without purpose. Selfishness shows up when we obsess over ourselves instead of serving others (e.g., coaches fixating on client perceptions). Climbing Out: Take care of your nervous system first—hunger and fatigue amplify toddler-like meltdowns. Self-awareness is key: name your feelings (e.g., “I'm agitated”) to contain them, and don't trust them as facts. Jason's Take: Society's feelings-obsession (especially among younger generations) reflects a pendulum swing from repression to indulgence, fueled by our brain's energy-conserving wiring.   5. Decision-Making and Overthinking (38:58 - 44:26) Why We Overthink: Survival instincts overestimate task difficulty and underestimate post-task relief, stalling action. Visualization can trick the brain into thinking a job's done, reducing motivation. Solutions: Set a timer for 15 minutes to start, lean on discipline over habits, and anchor decisions to identity (e.g., “I'm not an average person” stopped Dr. Schnell from mindless scrolling). Jason's Game: He challenges his ego's comfort-seeking, realizing unchecked indulgence leads to stagnation.   6. Saying No Without Guilt (46:24 - 50:04) The Guilt Trap: People (especially women, per Jason) say “yes” to draining relationships or tasks to avoid discomfort. Guilt isn't inherently bad—it can motivate—but unchecked, it's self-focused. How to Say No: Reflect on the “why” behind guilt (e.g., “Will I feel like a bad person?”). Weigh the cost to yourself vs. others, and practice sitting with uncomfortable feelings instead of caving.   7. Three No-BS EI Strategies (51:50 - 55:00) Watch More TV: Observe others' behaviors in media to spot what you don't want to emulate (e.g., whining). Feel Your Feelings: Name and own them—don't suppress or over-trust them for decisions. Believe in Yourself: Focus on competence and courage, not fleeting confidence. Practice beats imposter syndrome every time.   Memorable Quotes Dr. Schnell: “Boundaries are really about us and what we are willing and not willing to do.” Jason: “We can get so caught up in daily tasks that we look at people as ‘Did you perform?' instead of having empathy for them as a human.” Dr. Schnell: “If one more person says they work better under pressure, nobody works better under pressure—they just work.” Dr. Schnell: “Feelings aren't facts. Don't trust your feelings.” Jason: “Discipline equals freedom—that's so true.” Dr. Schnell: “What you name, you contain.”     Resources Mentioned Dr. Schnell's Website: audreyschnell.com Upcoming Docu-Series: “How to Have Vibrant Health, Wealth, Freedom, and Live the Life You Desire” – Launches April 1, 2025 (details on her website, Facebook, and LinkedIn) Social Media: Follow Dr. Schnell on Facebook and LinkedIn     Final Thoughts   This episode is a masterclass in emotional intelligence, blending Dr. Schnell's 40 years of expertise with Jason's relatable insights as an entrepreneur and seeker of higher living.

"We are aiming for a place where we can decouple the scorecard from our worthiness. It's of course the case that in trying to optimise the good, we will always be falling short. The question is how much, and in what ways are we not there yet? And if we then extrapolate that to how much and in what ways am I not enough, that's where we run into trouble." —Hannah BoettcherWhat happens when your desire to do good starts to undermine your own wellbeing?Over the years, we've heard from therapists, charity directors, researchers, psychologists, and career advisors — all wrestling with how to do good without falling apart.
