No sin is bigger than God's forgiveness and mercy. There will be consequences for sin, but the love of God is the kind of unconditional love that shows mercy when the object of its love lies prostrate and repentant. David learned this when he sinned against God with Bathsheba, he learned the weight of guilt. He also learned that God's mercy is an attribute of His unfailing love. In this message, Jill Briscoe teaches us the importance of letting God love us by letting Him forgive us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29

Giant Temptation comes to all of us. All of us know him. He knows us—he knows when our guard is up, and he knows when we're feeling lazy.

Jill Briscoe shows us that the value of David's life story is not only that it shows man's great sin, but that it shows God's even greater forgiveness and grace.

Is there a difference between a healthy self-image and pride? We read in 1 Corinthians 8:1 that while knowledge “puffs up,” love “builds up.”How do you put your gifts and God-given potential to use and remain humble in the process?

We're often tempted to live our lives out of our emotions where ugly things like frustration, anger, jealousy, and impatience rise to the surface. But love is patient. Love wins over difficult people. Love wins over unlovable people. But it's never something we can do in our own strength.In this message, Jill Briscoe explores patience as an outpouring of love and why allowing God to teach us long-suffering will transform the gift of love we give to others into a kindness the world seldom sees.

Why is a walk in a garden so relaxing? Because we were created to live in God's garden of perfection, forever. Unfortunately, as the story goes, Adam and Eve made a fatal error and were forced to make their home in the garden of sin instead, where nothing is perfect or peaceful. But remember, this is God's story! God came looking for Adam and Eve after they disobeyed. And in His grace, He still comes looking for us today. Jill Briscoe takes us through biblical examples of God's saving grace and how He offers us a way to His riches through Christ.

Today on Fearless, Cissie Graham Lynch sits down with public school teacher Monica Gill and Alliance Defending Freedom's Senior Counsel, Tyson Langhofer, to explore what it looks like to boldly live out your faith in the heart of cultural opposition. Monica isn't just a teacher—she's a follower of Christ who views her classroom as a mission field. For over 30 years, she has served in Loudoun County, Virginia—one of the most progressive and contentious school districts in the country. Through it all, she's remained committed to loving her students unconditionally while standing for biblical truth, even when it comes at a personal cost.Monica opens up about the moment she decided to take a stand against her school district's secret gender transition policy—one that required teachers to lie to parents about their children's identity. Backed by Alliance Defending Freedom, Monica is fighting for an accommodation that allows her to speak truth without compromising her beliefs. As she shares her story, you'll hear how God equipped her with what she calls the “stones in her sling” (a reference to David and Goliath) and provided the protection and support she needed to walk forward in obedience.Monica reflects on Ephesians 6, describing the spiritual battle at play in schools today, and acknowledges that this isn't merely political—it's spiritual warfare. She also recalls Jill Briscoe's quote, “Your mission field is right between your two feet,” a reflection of Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands His followers to “go and make disciples.” Monica's question to herself—“Can I stand before the Lord and say my pension plan was more important than His truth?”—echoes Matthew 16:26, which asks, “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?”Tyson Langhofer also shares practical insight into the legal battles surrounding public education, parental rights, and compelled speech. He explains how ADF is equipping teachers and parents alike with resources—including the Educator's Toolkit and Parent's Toolkit—and how the First Amendment continues to offer strong protections for people of faith.This episode will challenge and inspire you to consider how you're standing for truth in your own sphere of influence. Whether you're a parent, educator, or student, Monica's fearless example is a reminder that bold faith—grounded in truth and delivered in love—can change lives.Resources Mentioned:Alliance Defending Freedom: adflegal.orgEducator & Parent ToolkitsFollow Monica's story and legal case at ADF
