The gospel story of the cross says this: Because of God's love the Son of God came into the world, and despite his actions of love, healing, and mercy, the Son of God was ultimately rejected, condemned, and crucified by a sinful world built upon violent power. And yet, in that moment, when the world did its very worst, the Crucified One was not condemning the world, but saving the world.

Are you tired of feeling like your walk with God is a roller-coaster; up on the good days, down on the bad ones?

In this message you'll discover why law-living never works, how grace changes you from the inside out, and what it really means to abide in Christ. This teaching will refresh your heart and help you step into the lightness of life in Him.

That loss, coupled with the realization that his kids were nearly grown, sparked a desire to pass on the values he believes are essential for living a meaningful life. The Unconditionals is the result—a framework grounded in timeless principles to help anyone pursue personal fulfillment and well-being.Links:Website: https://andycrockerbooks.comSocial Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andycrocker/https://www.facebook.com/andycrockerbookshttps://www.instagram.com/andycrockerbooks/

God's live is Unconditional
Miroslav Volf explores agapic love, creation's goodness, and God's grief—an alternative to despair, power, and world rejection.“When a wanted child is born, the immense joy of many parents often renders them mute, but their radiant faces speak of surprised delight: ‘Just look at you! It is so very good that you are here!' This delight precedes any judgment about the beauty, functionality, or moral rectitude of the child. The child's sheer existence, the mere fact of it, is ‘very good.' That's what I propose God, too, exclaimed, looking at the new-born world. And that unconditional love grounds creation's existence.”In this fourth Gifford Lecture, Miroslav Volf contrasts the selective and self-centered love of Ivan Karamazov with the radically inclusive, unconditional love of Father Zosima. Drawing deeply from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, Genesis's creation and flood narratives, and Hannah Arendt's concept of amor mundi, Volf explores a theology of agapic love: unearned, universal, and enduring. This is the love by which God sees creation as “very good”—not because it is perfect, but because it exists. It's the love that grieves corruption without destroying it, that sees responsibility as mutual, and that offers the only hope for life in a deeply flawed world. With references to Luther, Nietzsche, and modern visions of power and desire, Volf challenges us to ask what kind of love makes a world, sustains it, and might one day save it. “Love the world,” he insists, “or lose your soul.”Episode Highlights“The world will either be loved with unconditional love, or it'll not be loved at all.”“Unconditional love abides. If the object of love is in a state that can be celebrated, love rejoices. If it is not, love mourns and takes time to help bring it back to itself.”“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all. Each needs forgiveness from all. Each must forgive all.”“Creation is not primarily sacramental or iconic. It is an object of delight both for humans and for God.”“Agapic love demands nothing from the beloved, though it cares and hopes much for them and for the shared world with them.”Show NotesSchopenhauer and Nietzsche's visions of happiness: pleasure and power as substitutes for love“Love as hunger”: the devouring nature of epithemic desireIvan Karamazov's tragic love for life—selective, gut-level, and self-focused“There is still… this wild and perhaps indecent thirst for life in me”Father Zosima's universal love for “every leaf and every ray of God's light”“Love man also in his sin… Love all God's creation”Sonya and Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment: love as restoration“She loved him and stayed with him—not although he murdered, but because he murdered”God's declaration in Genesis: “And look—it was very good”Hannah Arendt's amor mundi—“I want you to be” as pure affirmationCreation as gift: “Each is itself by being more than itself”Martin Luther on marriage, sex, and delight as godly pleasuresThe flood as hypothetical: divine grief replaces divine destruction“It grieved God to his heart”—grief as a form of agapic love“Each is responsible for all. Each is guilty for all.”Agape over erotic love: not reward and punishment, but faithful presence and care“Agapic love demands nothing… It is free, sovereign to love, humble.”Closing invitation: to live the life of love, under whatever circumstancesProduction NotesThis podcast featured Miroslav VolfEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Taylor Craig and Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/giveSpecial thanks to Dr. Paul Nimmo, Paula Duncan, and the media team at the University of Aberdeen.

Shelter from the StormBob Dylan'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and bloodWhen blackness was a virtue, the road was full of mudI came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”And if I pass this way again, you can rest assuredI'll always do my best for her, on that I give my wordIn a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involvedEverything up to that point had been left unresolvedTry imagining a place where it's always safe and warm“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hailPoisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trailHunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' thereWith silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hairShe walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lostI took too much for granted, I got my signals crossedJust to think that it all began on an uneventful morn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mountBut nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that countsAnd the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' doveAnd old men with broken teeth stranded without loveDo I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothesI bargained for salvation an' she gave me a lethal doseI offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the lineBeauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mineIf I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born“Come in,” she said, “I'll give you shelter from the storm”

Be guided in a meditation to release any grudges, and to experience forgiveness. This week's journey may have revealed a profound truth: your emotional state is deeply intertwined with your physical and energetic health. When you experience anger, your body reacts with a cascade of physiological changes—your heart rate increases, your blood pressure rises, and stress hormones like cortisol flood your system. This is the fight-or-flight response, a survival mechanism designed for short-term threats, not for the long-term emotional burdens of holding a grudge. WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES: THE UNCONDITIONAL HEART: TURNING ANGER INTO POSITIVE ENERGY This series is your guide to transforming the energy of anger into something powerful and positive. We'll explore spiritual insights and practices rooted in the chakra system, a concept in Eastern traditions that describes energetic centers in the body. We'll move from the core of your power to the wellspring of your creativity, culminating in the limitless compassion of your heart. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Unconditional Heart: Turning Anger into Positive Energy," episodes 3360-3369. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE Acts of Compassion Quest: For the next seven days, practice one small act of self-compassion and one act of gratitude each day. This could be as simple as acknowledging your own humanity when you make a mistake and consciously listing one thing you are thankful for.

Practice the flow of letting go. Spiritually, letting go allows us to trust in a greater plan or the natural unfolding of events. Modern psychological studies show that practicing acceptance and releasing the need to control others and situations significantly reduces stress and anxiety.

We should love people unconditionally because it allows us to see their worth beyond their flaws, mistakes, or differences.Unconditional love builds trust, promotes healing, and encourages growth—both for the person receiving it and the one giving it. When you love without conditions:You create a safe space for honesty and vulnerability.You strengthen relationships because love isn't dependent on performance.You reflect the kind of compassion you would hope to receive in your own low moments.You help break cycles of judgment, fear, and insecurity.It doesn't mean ignoring wrong behavior or tolerating harm it means caring for the person while still addressing issues with truth and kindness.Unconditional love is powerful because it connects to who someone is, not just what they do.Cash app: $sbfavorVenmo : @sbfavorPaypal: sblove47@gmal.com
Continuing our work with the Third Chakra, today's insight is about channeling your life force, or zest, into positive action. Unaddressed anger can be a powerful but destructive energy. When you feel anger, it's often a sign of a boundary crossed or an unmet need. Spiritually, this is an opportunity to assert your will in a healthy way. Psychologically, studies show that channeling intense emotion into productive, goal-oriented activities (like creative work or exercise) can lead to a state of flow, reducing rumination and increasing feelings of accomplishment.

Self-love shouldn't come with conditions, yet so many of us hold ourselves hostage to impossible standards. I'm tackling this concept of "transactional self-love" in this throwback episode. Transactional self-love are the unconscious bargains we make with ourselves, promising kindness and acceptance only after certain benchmarks are met. We've all said it: "I'll love myself when I lose weight," "I'll be kind to myself once my divorce is finalized," or "I'll accept myself when I find someone new." These conditional statements reveal how deeply we've internalized the message that we must earn our own affection. I explore this phenomenon through multiple lenses; our biological negativity bias, childhood experiences of conditional love, and the societal conditioning that teaches women their value depends on external factors. The relationship you have with yourself forms the foundation for every other relationship in your life. When you withhold compassion from yourself, you're likely applying the same transactional approach to others. Breaking free from this pattern starts with awareness – identifying your personal conditions for self-acceptance and consciously choosing more compassionate alternatives. Through practical steps and thoughtful guidance, I demonstrate how to build an unshakable foundation of self-love that doesn't fluctuate based on achievements or circumstances. This isn't about achieving perfect self-love but creating a baseline of acceptance that supports you through life's inevitable challenges. You'll learn how to recognize your conditional thinking and practice new neural pathways of self-compassion through consistent, intentional thought work.To download your FREE GUIDE: "What to Expect When Divorcing: The Ultimate Guide to Dealing with the Emotional Rollercoaster of Divorce" click here.

Today, we focus on the Third Chakra (Manipura), located in the solar plexus, which governs your personal power, purpose, and self-worth. Anger often arises when we feel powerless or our core values are threatened. From a spiritual perspective, this anger can be a signal that we need to reconnect with our authentic purpose and sense of inner strength. Research in psychoneuroimmunology shows a strong link between our sense of purpose and overall well-being, suggesting that a strong inner core helps us regulate our emotional responses.
