Podcasts about true repentance

When facing the consequences of our own bad choices, it can become easy to simply seek an escape from the pain we've caused ourselves instead of slowing down to ask ourselves what was underneath those actions. God isn't after our behavior, He's after our hearts and our behavior is usually just a sign of what we really love. Repentance means to turn one's heart back to God, relationally. As we discuss the life of Jephthah, we will get a clear picture of what false repentance looks like, and ask ourselves how we can practice true repentance.

Repentance and reliance on the mercy of God were David’s responses to his sin and are our proper responses to our sin as well. This psalm teaches us that the worst of sinners who repent and rely on God’s mercy can experience sweet forgiveness, restored joy, renewed spirit, cleansed heart and nearness to God. This is only because God is merciful and gracious, loving and forgiving. “The function of this psalm, as a song sung by the entire congregation, is to shape their hearts so that they feel this at the deepest level, lest they ever presume upon the grace of God.” - C. John Collins, ESV Study Bible Notes, p.1000

He even got married, but after three years of marriage decided he wanted to transition. Allen shares his journey to faith in Christ and de-transitioning, why transgenderism is harmful and wicked, and how to approach someone struggling or embracing this ideology for themselves. Christians will be blessed and encouraged by Allen's message. #transgenderism #Christianity #Jesus #Salvation00:00 - Welcome & Introduction02:20 - William's Early Life & Transition Story08:10 - Returning Home & First Church Visit13:45 - Conviction, Bible Study & Gospel Awakening22:30 - True Repentance & Decision to Detransition29:15 - The Physical & Legal Detransition Journey38:40 - Childhood Gender Confusion & Marriage Struggle50:25 - Health Consequences & Warning to Parents01:00:10 - Rebaptism as William & Final MessageSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Corey Viss Guest Preacher for July 5, 2026 Scripture: Zechariah 12:10-13:1

Message from Kyle Burkholder on June 28, 2026

 "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons." Matthew 12:24

When we hear the term repentance, what comes to mind? A lifestyle of true Christian repentance is filled with joy and wonder. It causes hope to spring up within us and keeps hope before us. Too often, we are deceived by an enemy wanting us to believe that repentance is self-loathing; that repentance is some form of unhealthy groveling before God. When we live from that lie, repentance over our sinfulness and fallenness leads to despair, despondency, and even hiding from God. But this is not true Christian repentance. Today, we seek to have this lie undone. Repentance is the path back home to God. It is the path that brings us to what Christ our God has always wanted to offer us: His healing, a new life, the joy of experiencing His mercy; a very real coming home to Him.

In the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus paints one of the clearest pictures of true repentance found anywhere in Scripture. Repentance is more than feeling sorry for our sins—it is recognizing our condition, turning away from our rebellion, and returning to the Father. In this episode, we examine the younger son's journey from self-destruction to restoration and discover how God's grace welcomes those who genuinely come back to Him. Whether you've wandered far from God or know someone who has, this message reminds us that the Father's arms remain open to all who return.

Join Pastor Cameron as we continue our look at "The Prisoner, the Fugitive, and the Nice Guy." The Apostle Paul and Onesimus demonstrate that true repentance always comes with a willingness to pay the consequences for what we have done wrong.  

The problem with understanding the Bible for just about all of us is that we all come to the Bible with our OWN way of thinking. We've already decided what God is like and what we are like. Unfortunately, it is usually a very wrong assessment. In the gospel of Luke, Chapter 15 the Lord Jesus Christ tells a story that we know now as 'the prodigal son'. But there is more to the story than the son who left home for a far country and later returned to his father. You see, the Lord Jesus was telling the story to a group of self-righteous Pharisees. Yes, the prodigal son certainly needed forgiveness all right, but so did the religious congregation. You see, they ALL needed a 'change of mind'. They needed to look at reality the way that God reveals it to us in His Word. And so do we! I trust that our message today will help YOU to align your thoughts and reasonings to what God wants you to know.

Today, we begin a month-long series examining how Scripture is sometimes misused by spiritual authorities—such as clergy, small-group leaders, biblical counselors, and Christian counselors—in ways that shame or further harm those who are already experiencing abuse in their marriages.In this special series, Twisted Scripture: When the Bible Is Weaponized, we take a careful and thoughtful look at passages that are frequently used in ways that silence the vulnerable or pressure victims to remain in harmful situations.Our first conversation features Dr. Steven R. Tracy, author of To Harm or To Heal: The Bible and Its Use in Counseling and co-author with Celestia G. Tracy of Mending the Soul. Together, we discuss two critical topics: spiritual abuse by church leadership in their counseling and pastoral care, and the biblical responsibility of leaders to protect those who are vulnerable. We also address commonly misused teachings about forgiveness and reconciliation and how these passages are often applied in ways that ignore the realities of abuse.Throughout this month-long series, we will continue exploring other frequently cited “clobber verses,” inviting theologians, pastors, and scholars to help us examine Scripture more faithfully and responsibly.Join us as we work to distinguish between Scripture that heals and Scripture that has been twisted in ways that harm. Steven R. Tracy - CBE InternationalSteven R. Tracy is a professor of theology and ethics at Phoenix Seminary and co-founder of Mending the Soul Ministries. He is the author of "Mending the Soul: Understanding and Healing Abuse" and co-author of "Marriage at the Crossroads" (forthcoming, InterVarsity). Tracy's work focuses on providing education and resources for the church and community on abuse, sexuality, and healthy intimacy. He has extensive experience in pastoral, classroom, and clinical settings, bringing over 40 years of experience to his work with Mending the Soul.

How can you tell if another person has repented? By counting his or her tears? How about the passing of time? Neither of these well-worn paths is very helpful. Pastor Colin helps you discover the genuine marks of true repentance, and how to deepen your own repentance.

You “feel sorry” about what happened. Does that mean you've repented? Not necessarily. Pastor Colin talks about two different kinds of sorrow – ‘godly' sorrow and ‘worldly' sorrow.

I hope this email finds you well and that your heart is still stirred from our powerful gathering. What we witnessed and experienced together was more than a church service—it was a divine appointment with the Holy Spirit as we stand on the threshold of historic reformation in our nation. The sermon explored the critical difference between religious obligation and genuine heart transformation, drawing powerful parallels between King Josiah's reforms in ancient Israel and the spiritual moment America faces today. We examined how an entire nation can witness reformation yet fail to experience personal revival—and why we cannot make that same mistake. This message challenged us to move beyond borrowed faith and pretense repentance to embrace authentic transformation that begins with individual surrender to Christ. The implications for our spiritual lives are profound: reformation without personal revival is unsustainable, and what happens in our hearts today will determine whether we experience four years of glory or four generations of blessing.

In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB dives deep into one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian faith, repentance. Drawing on biblical truth from the Old and New Testaments, KB unpacks what repentance truly means (hint: it's more than just feeling bad about your sins), exploring how a genuine change of mind leads to a radical change of action. From Peter's sermon at Pentecost to the transformative story of Zacchaeus, KB walks listeners through the four key elements of true biblical repentance and its inseparable connection to salvation, faith, and God's grace which is challenging each of us to examine where unrepentant sin may still have a hold in our own lives.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

2 Corinthians 7:8-16 May 10, 2026 AM.In these verses, the apostle Paul shows us how the Corinthian church demonstrated true repentance. This becomes a model for us to evaluate our own repentance.

Lead Pastor Ben Wallis

Episode Summary:  In this episode we examine Nehemiah 10 to see what it can teach us about false and true repentance.For Further Prayerful Thought.  Why is saying “I'm sorry” easier than true repentance?How would you summarize these words of John? And by this we know that we have come to know him (Christ), if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked (1 Jn 2:3-6.)Although we no longer live in a theocracy as God's people did before Jesus came, why might Israel's law that warned that oppression of the poor was not to be compensated for by partiality towards them in court help inform our thinking about how best to show mercy to the poor.How does the example of God's repentant Old Covenant people stepping up to fully fund ministry challenge you?What have you learned about walking in the Spirit, i.e. experiencing his power in your everyday life? For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. [1 hour 6 minutes]

Pictures of True Repentance(And Genuine Saving Faith)

Pharaoh repeatedly turns to God in moments of crisis—only to harden his heart once relief comes. His story exposes a pattern that is far closer to home than we might like to admit. How often do we seek God when life falls apart, only to drift once things improve? This message explores the difference between false repentance and true repentance, revealing how easy it is to want God's blessings without actually wanting God Himself. Through the patience of God in the plagues and the beauty of Christ in the gospel, we see that God's kindness is not meant to be used, but to lead us to repentance. Ultimately, this sermon calls us to stop trying to ‘cheat' God, to lay down our pride and self-righteousness, and to cling to Jesus—who is better than anything this world could offer.

Pastor Chas Stevenson

True repentance produces humility, leading us to lay down pride, seek God with a broken heart, and bear genuine fruit through a life of obedience and service. 참된 회개는 겸손의 열매를 맺게 하여 교만을 내려놓고 상한 마음으로 하나님을 구하며 순종과 섬김의 삶으로 참된 열매를 맺게 합니다.

Welcome back to the Eden Podcast! In Episode 2 of our transformative live series, we confront the uncomfortable but liberating truth about our spiritual reality. Are you ready to stop hiding and step back into genuine communion with your Heavenly Father? This empowering Christian podcast explores the vital, relational purpose behind God's voice and exposes the deceptive tactics of the enemy that keep us isolated and ashamed.In this powerful session, we contrast the voice of God—which is loving, constant, and designed for relationship—with the voice of the enemy. We analyze the tactics of Satan, the ultimate deceiver, who uses subtle lies and twisted truths to sow seeds of doubt about God's goodness and our worth. Have you bought into the lie that God is withholding from you, or that you must earn His love? We expose these toxic narratives and learn how to identify the subtle “weeds” of deception growing in our hearts.But the good news doesn't stop with simply recognizing the problem; it provides the solution. We explore the profoundly freeing concepts of confession and true repentance. Confession isn't about punishment; it's about breaking the chains of shame. It's stepping out of the dark shadows of isolation and declaring, “I am struggling here,” allowing God's light to illuminate our broken places. We learn that repentance is not a sign of weakness but an act of bold faith—a purposeful turning away from destructive patterns and turning back toward the heart of God.It is time to replace the enemy's deceptive whispers with the solid, unshakable truth of God's Word. You are fully known, deeply loved, and fiercely pursued by a Father who longs for you to live in freedom. Join us as we learn to silence the lies and boldly reclaim our spiritual inheritance.
