Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The battle between love and lust rages in every human heart. In this powerful exploration of the Maria Goretti story, we uncover how what we consume shapes who we become – sometimes with devastating consequences.Maria Goretti was just 11 years old when Alessandro Serenelli, a young man living and working with her family, attacked and murdered her after she refused his sexual advances. What drove this ordinary farm worker to such violence? The toxic media he consumed played a crucial role. Alessandro filled his mind with sensational novels about crime and lust, creating a dangerous inner landscape where "forbidden fruit no longer nourished him" and "self-abuse infuriated him."Our guest Michael Lichens, author and editor with a passion for overlooked aspects of Christian history, walks us through this harrowing yet ultimately redemptive story. As John Paul II observed, "The problem with pornography is not that it reveals too much, it reveals too little." It fails to reveal the person – the human heart that longs to be loved, not used. This insight resonates powerfully today as young people navigate a hypersexualized culture bombarding them with distorted messages about sexuality and human dignity.The story takes an extraordinary turn when Alessandro experiences a vision of Maria while in prison. Get Your Copy Here!

Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation.

Redemption E6 — In the book of Psalms, the Hebrew words for “redemption” are often used to simply mean save, rescue, or release. This is especially true in the psalms of King David, who was never a slave but regularly used redemption language to speak of trials with his enemies. As the collection of psalms grew and shifted over many centuries, David's personal longings for redemption came to represent something much bigger. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the themes of personal, communal, and cosmic redemption in Psalms.CHAPTERSRecap and Intro to Redemption in the Psalms (0:00-12:54)David's Use of “Redeem” (12:54-34:28)Redemption From the Grave (34:28-48:30)REFERENCED RESOURCESYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Just Truth” by Lofi Sunday, Yoni Charis “The Kingdom” by Lofi Sunday, Marc VanparlaBibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

In this “Gospel of God” series, Pastor Jack Graham teaches that from the very first messages we see the Gospel began in the infinite heart and wisdom of God before time began. This promise of Good News moved from Adam and Eve, where even in their sin, God gave them a promise of a Deliverer – the first Gospel. And then moves throughout the pages of the Scripture, where we see this unfolding story of salvation … the story of God's redemption.

This summer, we're journeying through the life of Abraham—one of the most significant and human stories in all of Scripture. Through divine encounters, setbacks, and slow formation, God shapes Abraham not just into a man of faith, but into a partner in His redemptive mission.At the heart of this series is a question:What does it mean to be discipled into partnership with God?From leaving comfort behind to learning trust…From receiving promises to waiting on them…From faltering in fear to walking in faith…Abraham's story shows us that true discipleship isn't about perfection—it's about transformation.Each week, we'll explore a different chapter in his journey—highlighting not only the tests and triumphs of Abraham, but the faithfulness of a God who draws near, forms His people, and invites them to participate in His purposes.This week, Pastor John Crawford teaches out of Genesis 18.WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved,  or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app https://pushpay.com/get?handle=redemp...OR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook:    / redemptiontempe.  .Twitter:    / redemptiontem  Instagram:    / redemptiontempe..  .GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.

Joy in Marriage :: [Ep. 277]Joy in marriage isn't just for personal happiness but serves as a powerful testimony for Christ, showing others the benefits of following God.

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore the powerful journey from being redeemed by grace to being transformed into the person Christ intended us to be. Redemption is the starting point, but transformation is the ongoing process of becoming more like Jesus through faith, obedience, and a renewed mind.Rooted in Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NIV) — “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” — we'll talk about what it means to remain grounded in Christ, resilient in hard seasons, and continually bearing fruit in every area of your life.If you're ready to move beyond being saved and start thriving in your faith, this episode will inspire you to grow deeper, stay rooted, and live transformed.If you would like to partner with us in spreading the message of Jesus Christ to the world you can do so via any of the options below.Cashapp: https://cash.app/$HHMCPaypal: http://paypal.me/HigherHeightsMCSquarepay: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcheckout.square.site%2Fmerchant%2FSTTM56DVVNYM5%2Fcheckout%2FRS62FOBO2VTWPTAOTTP32RRM%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR29WROIC9CvvxdAjc1WKv5fLqDvFY3gLt5VBG0W41Hpfc_pDSWMXppYD98&h=AT3kxpjzOLmyFOmMEqEPvCkmUlom38WGZMyXxpsgOGXrNGMf-z9ZQE34tSfooE40yhaL1_LT0UfYkEqgdBGtAUZqjapoYBgJKLHyOmJlDAUHekOfnZwKY_RzKjxCVbXE29WoolMWwu8uTS3q6nQPTi20Wh8Mailing address 236 Parker Rd, Danville Va 24540 Support the show

There's a new Superman movie out this month—but when I heard that, my mind flew back 38 years to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, a cinematic trainwreck of epic proportions. The plot was absurd, the budget was anemic, and Hollywood wisely took a long break from the franchise after that. But while the movie deserves all the ridicule it gets, the title stuck with me: The Quest for Peace. Because if you're a caregiver, you know exactly what that feels like. In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I invite my fellow caregivers to join me on that very journey—the often painful, sometimes hilarious, always sacred search for peace. Peace in the middle of sleepless nights, endless medical drama, strained relationships, and a soul stretched thin. I open up about a struggle many caregivers carry but rarely talk about: resentment. Whether it's being overlooked by family, dismissed by doctors, or just frustrated with God—or yourself—it eats away at us. Drawing from the words of C.S. Lewis, I discuss how forgiveness, anchored in God's grace, becomes a daily practice—not a feeling, and certainly not a one-time decision. I also continue my series on “30 Hymns Every Christian Should Know,” spotlighting Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Inspired by Lamentations 3, where Jeremiah finds hope in the wreckage of Jerusalem, this hymn—written by Thomas Chisholm, who lived with chronic illness—offers a powerful reminder that God's mercy meets us every morning, even when we can barely get out of bed. I play it from the “caregiver keyboard,” the one I use for Gracie, whose voice gives it a strength words alone can't capture. So, no, I'm not wearing a cape. I don't fly. But after 40 years as a caregiver, I've learned a few things about finding peace when everything around you is breaking. Join me for this honest, gritty, and grace-filled episode.

This podcast episode presents a profound exploration of the harrowing journey of Dion, who recounts his experiences of wrongful conviction and the subsequent impact on his life. At the core of our discussion lies the critical examination of the failings within the justice system that led to his wrongful imprisonment. Dion reflects upon the indelible influence of his single mother, who instilled in him the resilience necessary to navigate the challenges he faced, including the transformative process of finding redemption after years of incarceration. Throughout our dialogue, we delve into the systemic issues that facilitate such miscarriages of justice and the personal trials Dion endured during his time in prison. Ultimately, this episode serves not only as a testament to his strength and perseverance but also as a call to action for addressing the profound injustices that persist within our legal frameworks.The conversation unfolds with a warm welcome between host Keith Haney and the guest, Dion Patrick, whose life experiences provide a profound backdrop to the discussion. Dion's narrative is profoundly shaped by the lessons imparted by his mother, a formidable single parent who instilled in him the values of perseverance and ambition. This foundation proved crucial, particularly after her untimely passing when Dion was only sixteen, a loss that propelled him into a tumultuous phase marked by poor decisions and a descent into gang culture. The dialogue intricately explores the emotional turmoil of that period, revealing how the absence of maternal guidance led to an anger that manifested in rebellious behavior and ultimately culminated in his wrongful conviction. Keith Haney and Dion delve into the systemic failures of the justice system that not only led to his incarceration but also illustrate broader societal issues regarding how young men of color are disproportionately affected by these injustices, emphasizing the need for reform and accountability. Dion's reflections on mentorship reveal a network of support that he found within his community, contrasting with the isolation he felt following his mother's death and highlighting the importance of positive influences in the lives of young people.Takeaways: The profound influence of a strong maternal figure is essential in shaping one's resilience and determination to achieve personal goals. Experiencing loss at a young age can lead to misguided choices and a descent into negative influences, highlighting the importance of guidance and support. The interrogation process often employs psychological manipulation and deprivation tactics, which can lead to false confessions even from innocent individuals. The systemic flaws within the justice system can result in wrongful convictions, emphasizing the need for reform and accountability in law enforcement practices. The stigma of having a criminal record persists even after exoneration, creating significant barriers to reintegration into society, such as securing housing and employment. A legacy of positive influence and mentorship is vital for those who have experienced incarceration, aiming to prevent others from enduring similar hardships.

Ruby Welch's story is one of remarkable transformation. After surviving unimaginable trauma and serving time in prison, she emerged not defeated—but determined. In this episode, Ruby shares how hitting rock bottom led her to find true freedom, rebuild her life, and help others do the same. With no housing, no job, and only $70 to her name, she began a new chapter grounded in faith, purpose, and service to others. Her powerful voice and lived experience have become a force for criminal justice reform in Arkansas and beyond. Joining her is Ryan Norris, AFP's Arkansas State Director, who saw in Ruby not just a survivor—but a leader. Together, they've worked on legislation that restores dignity, seals records, and creates real second chances. What started as policy work became a lasting friendship, one that's changed both their lives—and inspired a new generation, including Ryan's daughter, Gracie. This is a moving story of grit, grace, and the impact one voice can have when matched with a mission.
