Podcasts about Repentance

Is forgiveness just about letting people off the hook, or is it something much deeper that restores our own humanity? Join Mike Erre and Tim Stafford as they continue their series on the Lord's Prayer, focusing on the challenging petition to forgive as we have been forgiven. From recent headlines involving the Southern Baptist Convention to the radical math of Jesus's parables, we explore what it truly means to abandon the ledger system of life.In this episode, we tackle common misconceptions about forgiveness. We discuss why it does not mean excusing abuse or ignoring the need for justice, but rather refusing to let vengeance poison our souls. Mike shares his personal practice for releasing grievances, while Tim reflects on powerful lessons learned from working with people in the prison system. Whether you are struggling with a minor slight or a deep betrayal, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on the fuel that human community needs to run on.Chapters:0:00 Intro and Summer Catch Up3:45 The SBC Amendment and Women in Ministry9:20 Institutional Control and Religious Legalism12:50 Special Guest Seth Erre Joins the Show17:40 The Lord's Prayer: Forgive Us Our Debts22:15 Why Jesus Links Our Forgiveness to Others26:30 Forgiveness vs Justice: Draining the Vengeance31:45 The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant36:10 The Math of Unrepayable Debt41:50 Choosing to Abandon the Ledger System46:30 What Forgiveness Is Not: Dispelling the Myths51:15 The Bag of Cement: Four Ways We Handle Hurt56:40 Practical Steps to Actually Forgive1:01:00 Repentance as a Posture of Restoration1:02:34 Outro and How to Support the ShowWe are so grateful for your support in making these conversations possible.

Have you ever felt spiritually dry? Maybe there was a time when your faith felt vibrant and alive, but now you feel distant from God. Prayer feels difficult. Worship feels empty. Your passion for God seems to have faded. The Bible has a word for that condition—and it also gives us the cure.

The term “about face” means to turn around completely and go in the opposite direction. When Jesus died on the cross He made it possible for us to turn from the sinful life we'd been living and follow Him. When we choose to follow Christ we begin a relationship with God, and when we die one day we will have a familiar face to face encounter and we will live with Him forever in Heaven.

What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving? Before you hit "proud of you," "you look beautiful," or "live your truth," ask yourself: are you encouraging someone toward life, or cheering them further into the very thing that's destroying them—and what does God think about it?#ChristianTikTok#ChristianReels#JesusChrist#BibleTruth#BiblicalTruth#ChristianPodcast#FaithOverFeelings#KingdomMindset#FollowJesus#DiscipleOfChrist#LoveAndTruth#SpeakTheTruth#TruthInLove#RealLove#BiblicalLove#ChristianLiving#ChristianEncouragement#FearGod#RepentAndBelieve#Watchman#CultureAndChrist#CounterCulture#ChristianPerspective#WorldVsWord#ModernChristianity#HardTruth#DeepFaith#ThinkAboutIt#TruthMatters#WakeUpChurch#LikingTheirPostsWontSaveThem#YoureNotHelpingThem#LoveDoesntCheerForSelfDestruction#IdentityInChrist#CreatedByGod#SpiritualDiscernment#ChristianContent#BibleTeaching

What does it really mean when scripture says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever?In this throwback solo episode, Megan Farner explores one of the most misunderstood phrases in scripture and challenges the common assumption that "the same" means "unchanging." Drawing from the King Follett Discourse, Lectures on Faith, the Book of Mormon, and broader spiritual principles, she examines how God's consistency may be rooted in perfect obedience to eternal law rather than the absence of growth or progression. Topics include: The true nature and character of God  Joseph Smith's teachings on eternal progression  The King Follett Discourse  Faith as a principle of power  The doctrine of Christ and spiritual transformation  Eternal laws, agency, miracles, and divine potential  What it means to become more like God If you've ever wrestled with questions about God's nature, eternal progression, or the relationship between faith and spiritual growth, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective.Subscribe for more conversations on scripture, spiritual development, temple symbolism, and the path of discipleship.Timestamps00:00 Introduction 00:15 What Does "God Is the Same" Mean? 02:04 Why Understanding God's Nature Matters 06:00 The Problem with "Unchanging" Interpretations 07:05 Joseph Smith on God's Progression 10:47 God and Eternal Law 13:53 The Law of Gender & Divine Partnership 15:31 Polarity, Opposition, and Creation 19:25 Symbolism and the Law of Correspondence 21:59 Thoughts, Agency, and the Law of Attraction 24:40 Faith as a Principle of Power 27:27 Cause and Effect: The Law of the Harvest 29:01 Rhythm, Cycles, and the Doctrine of Christ 29:59 Consecration and the Law of Abundance 31:36 Oneness, Zion, and Atonement 33:03 Scriptural Evidence for God's Consistency 38:25 God as a God of Miracles 43:00 Faith, Repentance, and Spiritual Alignment 44:47 No Variableness, Neither Shadow of Changing 47:42 The Counterfeits of Eternal Law 55:51 Learning to Become Like God 58:16 Divine Potential and Co-Equality with God 01:00:28 Temple Covenants and Eternal Laws 01:01:24 Final Thoughts If you feel called to better understand and embody your divine femininity, consider if our next cohort of Return to the Garden is for you!

Send us Fan MailWhy do Christians renounce sin, lies, occult involvement, vows, or demonic agreements during deliverance ministry?In this episode, Karl Gessler explains that the reason we renounce things is because deliverance is a legal battle in the Courtroom of Heaven. Agreements matter. Words matter. And writing or speaking your renunciations out loud is vital to breaking agreement with darkness.Topics include: What it means to renounce something  Why we renounce things in deliverance  Deliverance as a legal battle in the Courtroom of Heaven  Why speaking or writing words out loud matters  The difference between renouncing and deliverance Jesus still sets captives free.

Send us Fan MailRepentance can sound like a harsh word, especially when you're parenting a child who already carries shame. We reframe it as metanoia, a change of mind and heart that moves your family from self-defeating patterns toward real flourishing. Along the way, we talk about why kids don't just need “better behavior,” they need a safe relationship with caring adults and a clearer picture of what God is actually like.We talk about what healthy repentance looks like for kids: awareness, confession, making repairs, and growing empathy. We get concrete about parenting skills that support honesty, like responding instead of reacting, avoiding catastrophizing, and making amends when we overreact. We also dig into the difference between a quick “I'm sorry” script and a real apology that names the harm, takes ownership, and respects that forgiveness can't be demanded.Then we shift to fasting and sacrifice in a way that fits real family life. We explain fasting as giving something up to depend on God and give Him your full attention, and we explore age-appropriate options like screen fasts, shared prayer, and simple Sabbath rhythms that don't turn into a performance. If you're looking for Christian parenting guidance that blends spiritual formation with practical, relationship-centered tools, this conversation is for you.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Sermon recording from Sunday, May 31st, 2026.A study of Luke 3:3-16.Thesis: Produce fruit in keeping with repentance

What does true repentance really mean? In this message from Matthew chapter 3, Pastor Woody explores the powerful message of John the Baptist and reveals that repentance is far more than feeling sorry for sin. Biblical repentance is a complete change of mind that leads to a changed life. Discover why confession brings healing, why mindset matters, what it means to turn toward God, and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live transformed lives. Whether you're struggling with recurring sin, seeking spiritual growth, or wanting a deeper relationship with Jesus, this message will challenge and encourage you to take your next step of faith.  

Today is day 151 and we are studying The Sacrament of Absolution. 151. What is necessary to receive the grace of absolution? Repentance, in which I intend to resist further sin, accept responsibility for my actions, and endeavor to repair damage I have caused; and faith, by which I thankfully receive God's forgiveness. (1 Kings 8:46–53; Psalm 51; Daniel 9:1–23; Matthew 3:1–12; Romans 2:1–11; 2 Corinthians 7:5–13) We will conclude today with The Concluding Prayer in Reconciliation of Penitents on page 224 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

You see God's love, his kindness is meant to lead us to repentance. Sermon 21:09

Anne shares from Revelation 2-3.

Acts Chapter 3: The Setting - Acts 3:1-5. The chapter takes place in the late afternoon at 3 pm, the time of the evening sacrifice. Peter and John are headed to the temple for prayer and worship and on the way they see a lame man who has been lame since birth collecting alms at the Beautiful gate. He asks Peter and John for money and Peter and John respond. What we learn from this setting is that prayer and worship were important. We also see their attentiveness to the hurting as an example for ourselves.   The Miracle - Acts 3:6-11. Peter responds to the lame man, "silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Peter takes the lame man's hand and helps him up. Right away the man's feet and ankles became strong and he jumps to his feet and walks. He goes with them into the Temple courts jumping and praising God. People see the lame man walking and are filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. They all begin to gather at Solomon's Colonnade. The word that's translated "jumping" is the very word in the book of Isaiah about what will happen when the Savior comes. See Isaiah 35:6.    What do we learn from the miracle? We see humility before God from Peter and John and they took no credit for the healing. They also spoke healing in the name of Jesus. Additionally, we see the power of Jesus' name. Jesus' name has the power to restore the broken and bitter, to break the chains of bondage, to transform minds and hearts. Jesus' name is powerful then and now.   The Message - Act 3:12-26. Peter tells the crowd it was not by their own power or godliness that made the man walk but that it was Jesus. He tells them how they had disowned Jesus, plotted to murder Him and then crucified Him. Peter goes on to tell of Jesus' resurrection and how they were witnesses. Peter also tells of Jesus' authority.  Peter goes on to tell them that he understands that they acted against Jesus in ignorance and that it is how God fulfilled what He had foretold through the prophets - in saying that the Messiah would suffer. Then Peter calls them to repent and turn to God so that their sins would be forgiven.  He calls them to turn to Jesus and prepare for the Second Coming, and calls them to a life-defining moment because God desires a change of heart.   What do we learn from Peter's message? We learn again of John and Peter's humility before God - taking no credit for the healing. They proclaimed Jesus to the crowd and the importance of knowing why He came and what He did for each one of us. Peter shares what the Scriptures tell us and how they point to Jesus as the fulfillment. Lastly, we see the call to repentance. Repentance is not a one time event, we are called to live a repentant life and to daily turn our hearts over to God.   This week's READING ASSIGNMENT:   Acts chapter 3 (if you want to read ahead, read chapter 4 as well)     Join the conversation around this teaching.

Drawing from Scripture, church history, and the Reformed tradition, they explore how God dealt with nations such as Nineveh, Babylon, Egypt, and Israel, and whether modern nations still bear moral responsibility before Him. Are nations capable of righteousness, rebellion, blessing, judgment, and repentance? What does this mean for Christians living in the modern world? Topics include: • National repentance • Corporate guilt and responsibility • Biblical political theology • The Great Commission and the nations • Reformed views of church and state • God's judgment of nations • Christian citizenship and civil government Subscribe for weekly conversations on theology, church history, culture, and the relationship between Christ's Kingdom and the nations.

Text: 1 Corinthians 12:4-14, 27 May 17, 2026 Foundry United Methodist Church – Washington, DC Rev. T.C. Morrow Good morning! My name is Rev. T.C. Morrow. For the last twenty-four years I have been blessed to be a part of the Foundry community - first while finishing seminary, then like many of you serving in a variety of ways through the years, and when I formally became a clergyperson in the United Methodist Church, on the extended clergy team. In July, I will be starting as Senior Pastor at The United Church, a joint United Methodist and United Church of Christ congregation in Foggy Bottom. I am looking forward to my next adventures, but I am going to miss this Foundry community. I cannot start naming individuals or that will take all of my time, but I give my thanks to the three senior pastors during my time here: Rev. Dr. Phil Wogaman, Rev. Dean Snyder, and Rev. Ginger Gaines-Cirelli. I give thanks to God for their leadership, their guidance, their solidarity, and so much more. Today we are in the third week of a sermon series exploring foundations of Christian identity and discipleship. In a world full of competing messages about who we are, our purpose, and how we should live, we are returning to some of the core aspects of Christianity. We've already looked at our identity as beloved of God and how we are called to follow Jesus into a way of life shaped by God's love and grace. Today we're exploring the church and our belonging in it, the gathering in community of those seeking to grow in love of God and neighbor. Will you join me in prayer: May the words of my mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable to you O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. As the U.S. nears its 250th anniversary, I've been thinking about some of the myths, like manifest destiny, that have shaped - or distorted – the direction of the country. As we gather this morning, not far from us, on the National Mall, others are gathering in what is ostensibly a day of prayer as part of activities marking the anniversary of the country. I looked at the speakers list. By all appearances, it is a Christian nationalist rally seeking to further solidify the myth that Christianity – a particular type of Christianity – is the only thing that will “save America.” I agree there is need for repentance in this country, but I think it is safe to say we deviate on specifics. I know that I do not need to repent for who I am as a lesbian and a beloved child of God. I do not need to repent for supporting my fellow trans Americans, and others who are being demonized and treated cruelly. But we do need repentance as a nation. Repentance from instilling fear and division. Repentance from greed and lies. Repentance from war mongering and violence. Repentance from the scapegoating of trans people, immigrants, non-Christians, and anyone who may be deemed “other.” Repentance from failing to uphold the common good. In today's scripture lesson, Paul names the reality of the diversity of the identities and the spiritual gifts of the community of Jesus followers in Corinth. Uniformity is not the goal; faithful interdependence is. Paul insists that there are indeed differences, and that it is only together, it is only collectively, that we are the body of Christ. Paul does not only acknowledge differences, he goes on to describe that we need the differences: “If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?” Paul describes the need for robust diversity for the fullness of the church. Honoring diversity is biblical. Twenty-four years ago, a young lesbian couple – two cradle United Methodists with parents very involved in the church – decided to find a church home together. Logan and I wanted a church home where we could belong, as our full selves. We looked at a few options, and decided we wanted it to be a United Methodist Church, and with only a few Reconciling congregations at the time – churches that have gone on the record in support of LGBTQ+ inclusion – we ended up at Foundry. Logan quickly joined Jubilate, the choir at the then-9:30 service. Logan went to the Women's Retreat in the first year or two after we started attending, and Peggy Simpson was assigned as her roommate. It was fitting when a few years later the law changed in DC and same-sex couples could get married that Peggy graciously opened her home for our legal wedding, and then we had a celebration at Foundry with a service led by Rev. Dean Snyder. I attended the 2012 General Conference of The United Methodist Church with Rev. Snyder and several other members from Foundry. When there was no forward movement on LGBTQ inclusion through legislative change, LGBTQ+ people and allies sang in peaceful demonstration to the denomination they love and to themselves from Micah 6:8: “What does the Lord require of you?” We walked around the communion table and sang. A table that symbolizes God's reconciling activity through Jesus Christ. In one of the loops around the table, this non-musical child of God standing before you heard a word amidst the cacophony of sounds in the Tampa convention center: Stop waiting for the denominations rules to change. Put yourself forward as a candidate for ordained ministry. We are here today, by the grace of God, with different rules on the books thanks to the tireless work of advocates including several who are in this room today. And after a roadblock or two, a Judicial Council ruling or two, I was commissioned in 2019 and ordained in 2022. While it was my name in deliberations by the Annual Conference or in news stories, I was there as the visible representative of this community that kept saying over and over to the broader church that it was getting it wrong on the treatment of gay and lesbian and bi and trans and other queer people. It was only through the support, love, strength, and organizing work of this community that I was able to go on the journey that was my ordination candidacy process in The United Methodist Church. Christianity is meant to be practiced in community. Some make a theological case for this based on the relational aspect of God in the doctrine of the trinity. Some point to Paul's articulation of the church as the “body of Christ,” where no one body part is sufficient on its own and each part depends on the others. I personally wonder – how are you going to have a potluck by yourself? You can make yourself a dozen deviled-eggs or the best jello salad, but the whole point of a potluck is that no one brings everything, NO ONE HAS TO DO EVERYTHING. Each person does their part. There are certainly spiritual disciplines that are done individually: personal prayer, scripture reading, meditation, reflection, individual acts of compassion and advocacy. But Christianity is not a solo spiritual self-improvement project. Christianity is meant to be practiced in community. There are spiritual practices that we undertake together: worship, sacraments of baptism and communion, serving together, learning together, mutual care, accountability, sharing joys, being there for each other in the tough times. In the midst of a culture that too often celebrates self-sufficiency and radical individualism, the church is a place of interdependence. Paul says to the church in Corinth: “Now there are varieties of gifts but the same Spirit, and there are varieties of services but the same Lord, and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” For the common good. Not only for our personal betterment, but we are each given spiritual gifts for the common good. The interdependence is part of how God forms us. We learn generosity by sharing what we have, from a friendly greeting to our time to our resources. We learn humility by recognizing wisdom in unexpected places, including from a six-year-old giving a really good answer to Ms. Natalie during the children's message. We learn patience by working through differences and disagreements. Christian community is not always easy, but it is where we belong. This week I invite you to reach out to someone in the church – someone here at Foundry if you are a part of this community or of your own church community if you are visiting from another. I invite you to reach out to someone to check in with them. Maybe someone who you know has been having a particularly hard time lately, or someone you haven't seen at church in a few weeks or months. You might arrange a time for coffee or a meal, take a walk, or have a phone conversation. Plan brunch, schedule time for your kids to play together at the park, go to coffee hour with the intention of asking at least one person a few questions beyond the polite “how are you?” We live in a culture of curated images, quick fixes, and too often shallow connections. We need to make spaces where we can be our authentic selves. Where we can tell the truth about our lives. Where we can grow in love of God and neighbor. You might reach out to someone thinking that you are “helping” them, but I encourage you to be open to how God may be at work in that connection in ways you did not expect, shaping both of you. In the midst of increasing militarism and authoritarianism, in the midst of greed and lies, in the midst of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and so much more – our way through is together. There are days where we might want to do it alone. And rest and renewal are certainly important. And individual spiritual practices are important. But as Christians we belong together in community with other Christians to learn, to serve, to celebrate, to grieve, to remind each other that we are beloved children of God, no matter what anyone says. The body of Christ is not a collection of isolated spiritual consumers. It is a people learning how to belong to one another. I am looking forward to the next part of my adventure, but I am going to miss this community. I will carry with me so much and I give thanks to God for helping be a community that affirmed that I belong in the church, and that we all belong in the church. So #KeepShowingUp for each other. Give a wide welcome to those looking for a safe space to explore big questions and bring their full selves. Teach the children that God loves them. Let others care for you, and give that same care in return. Try out being an usher, or singing with the choir, or joining the prayer team, or helping out with Children's Worship. Join a small group. Participate in one of the ministries of care and justice. Be a vessel of hope in a world that desperately needs it. Remind each other that #GodIsYetAtWork in you and through you, Foundry United Methodist Church. And may it continue to be so. Amen.

Chosen One: Use THIS Weapon To Destroy Mammon Sir Byron Rodgers reflects on how the spirit of mammon often works through fear, anxiety, pride, self-reliance, and the constant temptation to trust what we see more than what God has spoken. The battle is rarely just about money—it is about what rules the heart. Faith requires surrender. Not surrender to emotion, pressure, or fear, but surrender to God even when circumstances look uncertain. Many of the greatest battles believers face cannot be overcome through human wisdom alone. They require obedience, repentance, discipline, and faith strong enough to move forward while pressure still exists. And when people fall, fail, or lose focus, grace still calls them back into alignment. Repentance is not weakness—it is returning to the source of life, truth, and authority. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.” — 2 Corinthians 10:3 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

Series: Acts — Preacher: Nathan Massey

One dream. One towering tree. One sentence that cuts through our noise: “the Most High rules the kingdom of men.” Daniel 4 is a story about the humbling of Nebuchadnezzar, but it lands on all of us because pride rarely announces itself. Sometimes it looks like competence, independence, or the quiet belief that we can run our lives without help, without prayer, and without surrender.We walk through the dream that turns from a beautiful picture of strength into a warning from heaven, then we sit with the mercy tucked inside the severity: the stump remains, the suffering has a limit, and God's intent is restoration, not destruction. Along the way, we notice Daniel's surprising heart for the king who harmed him and connect that to Jesus' call to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who abuse you.We also get practical about repentance, because Daniel's counsel is not sentimental. Repentance is not vague regret; it is turning with action, practicing righteousness, and showing mercy where we have ignored it. The turning point for Nebuchadnezzar is simple and life-changing: he lifts his eyes to heaven, and his reason returns.

America keeps trying to solve spiritual problems with political answers, but Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian look back at the Great Awakening to show how true liberty began with repentance and surrender to God. Zach connects Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and the rise of personal responsibility in faith to the eventual deconsolidation of political power in colonial America. The guys compare revival movements then and now, wrestling with emotionalism, denominational unity, and why freedom can't flourish when people forget the God who gave it.

God may be telling us to do something and we've been ignoring it for any amount of time. When we listen to Him with a willingness to obey, He forgives us for running away and gives us another chance to do what He's asking us to do. It is better to live in obedience and bring life to others around us than to live in sin and negatively affect everyone else.

In this episode of the Outlaw God podcast, Dr. Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith conclude their series on repentance by contrasting legal repentance with repentance rooted in the Gospel alone. Through Psalm 51, John the Baptist, and Luther's theology, Paulson explains how true repentance is not self-improvement or sacrifice, but a total death and resurrection brought entirely by the Word and the Holy Spirit. The conversation explores how God justifies sinners outside the law, why faith is created through promise rather than free will, and how baptism itself is a complete exorcism from the spirit of Satan into the life of the Holy Spirit.

The Catechism provides an overview on how Jesus grants the Church the ability to forgive sins through both Baptism and the sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Mike doubles down on the revelation that there is no sin that Jesus can't forgive—and no one is disqualified. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 976-987. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
