Podcasts about Unconditional

What happens when we receive God's mercy but struggle to extend that same mercy to others? The story of Jonah shows how easily disappointment and bitterness can keep us stuck in our own perspective. But the mercy of God meets us in the belly of the whale and invites us to lay down our bitterness and become the embodiment of the mercy of God to others.

Unconditional love and a reciprocal relationship are not the same thing. Importantly, participation in a relationship is each individual's choice.In this conversation, Dr. Janet and Brianna sit with why that difference matters so much in estrangement. We can love someone unconditionally as an individual. We are not able to build a healthy relationship with them on our own. Both people must choose to participate because a reciprocal relationship asks both people to show up, to define boundaries together, and to keep choosing each other as adults. Janet and Brianna trace the clunky shift from parent and child into an adult to adult relationship, the space that first led to their estrangement, and then made their own repair possible. Learn the simple set of questions that can bring a strained or estranged relationship back into balance. IN THIS EPISODE Why unconditional love and a reciprocal relationship are two separate things, and why blending them keeps us stuck The clunky, awkward shift from parent as decider into a relationship between two adults, and why naming it helps How constant contact and social media reshape the way our children grow into their own lives Why space, and sometimes no contact, can be the most powerful move toward repair The four questions that help both people find their way back to balance How boundaries, demands, and expectations differ, and how they are meant to change over time Why disagreement is not rejection, for parents or for adult children CORE MESSAGE"I can love you unconditionally by myself. I cannot create a healthy relationship with you by myself." Dr. Janet Steinkamp VOICES FROM THIS EPISODE "Unconditional love and reciprocal relationships do not go hand in hand. They are two different things." Brianna "I had to step away from being the unilateral decision maker, and I cannot tell you how much better life feels not carrying that anymore." Dr. Janet "Respecting the space we ask for is the most powerful thing a parent can do for the relationship." Brianna "Our kids do not stop loving us, even when they are setting boundaries. It is the relationship that needs the focus."

Loving those who hurt us seems impossible, but unconditional love is God's divine standard. By admitting our pain, remembering Christ's sacrifice for us while we were yet sinners, and depending on the Holy Spirit, we can choose forgiveness and reflect His heart today!

Family Matters - Part 5 - Not Afraid - Pieter Weenink (Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast

No Man Is an Island No man is an island,Entire of itself;Every man is a piece of the continent,A part of the main.Any man's death diminishes me,Because I am involved in mankind.And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;It tolls for thee.–John Donne (1571–1631), English poet and priest

Die Vrug Van Genade - Deel 4 - Lewe Vanuit Jou Ware Identiteit - Tjaart Olivier (Piketberg) by GraceLife Podcast

What does it really mean to have the Spirit of God living within you? In Part 3 of No More Distance: Living From Union With Christ, we discover how the indwelling Spirit makes Christ known, assures us of our sonship, and teaches us to live in conscious fellowship with the Father. This is not about trying to get God closer, but learning to pray, worship, make decisions, love people and live everyday life from the reality that the Spirit of Christ already lives in you.

What if there is more happening in the opening chapters of Genesis than we have realised? Beyond the familiar stories are themes and truths that run through the entire Bible and profoundly shape how we understand God, ourselves and the Gospel. In this teaching, we go back to the beginning, follow the Scriptures carefully, and discover why Genesis matters far more to our everyday Christian life than we might think.

Family Matters - Part 4 - The Answer for a Guilty Conscience - Pieter Weenink (Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast

  Chris Boick had the LinkedIn profile. The agency. The truck paid off. The house. The whole damn thing looked like a masterclass in the American Dream. Katie Boick had the condo, the career, the youth group background, and a vision of a white picket fence that felt like a promise. They found each other in their twenties, two people who thought they had the script memorized. Then 2020 hit. The world caught fire. Katie lost her job in March. Chris lost his in October. The wedding they'd planned for New Year's Eve became another weight on a foundation already cracking. And Chris — the guy who only knew how to be the provider, the fixer, the knight in the shining armor he'd read about in storybooks — didn't just bend. He shattered. The addiction he'd been outrunning since childhood, rooted in trauma nobody saw, came for him hard. Katie did what women like her do. She became the keeper of secrets. The manager of chaos. The one who holds it all together while disappearing inside herself. She moved them into her parents' garage apartment. She applied for unemployment. She networked. She tried to love him back to life while he was busy dying. The gray area isn't a metaphor. It's the hospital room where Chris stopped breathing on dialysis, unconscious, and Katie prayed in the machine noise: *Okay. I'm staying. Even with the trust shattered. Even with the terror. I'm staying.* It's the seventh day of rehab when Chris finally called, expecting *I wish you well*, and got unconditional love instead. He still gets goosebumps talking about it. So does she. The lines they were told to color inside — the perfect recovery narrative (rehab, steps, done), the traditional marriage roles (he provides, she nurtures), the image management that kept everyone fooled — they burned every one of them. What cracked the door open? For Katie, ketamine therapy. Six sessions. Four of them talking to God in a field, plucking petals off forgiveness like they were weeds. For Chris, faith. Not the inherited kind. Not the Easter-and-Christmas-Eve kind. The kind you find when everything else is stripped away and you're left with the undeniable truth of who you are. They wrote a book about it. *Coloring Outside the Lines*. It's not a recovery manual. It's a love story set in the wreckage. And if you've ever loved someone through hell — or been the one dragging them through it — this conversation is the mirror you didn't know you needed. Key Takeaways ·         The 'perfect life' exterior often masks a private war — Chris's successful entrepreneur identity became a cage he couldn't escape when the provider role collapsed. ·         Real recovery doesn't follow a straight line; the Boicks lived in the 'gray area' of relapses, broken trust, and daily recommitment long before anything looked like success. ·         Unconditional love isn't a feeling — it's a decision made in hospital silence, on day seven of rehab, when every reason to leave exists and you stay anyway. ·         Different doors open for different people: Katie found forgiveness through ketamine-assisted conversations with God; Chris found himself again through faith stripped of performance. ·         The 'knight in shining armor' script destroys men — Chris had to learn his wife didn't need saving, she needed a partner willing to walk beside her in the dark. https://www.lovethroughthegray.com/

What if you could read the Bible, know the stories, quote the verses, and still miss the One it was revealing? In the first message of Finding Jesus, we discover how Jesus Himself taught us to read Scripture. From John 5 to the road to Emmaus, we see that the Scriptures ultimately point us to Christ, His saving work and the gospel. This isn't simply about becoming better at Bible study. It's about knowing Jesus more clearly. Because how we read Scripture shapes how we see God, how we relate to Him, and how we live our everyday lives. The goal isn't merely to know more Bible. It's to see Jesus, know Him, and walk with Him.

What if God's dwelling place is no longer a building, but His people? In Part 2 of No More Distance: Living From Union With Christ, we explore what it means to be the temple of God, individually and together as the body of Christ. Discover how the indwelling Spirit transforms the way we see church, worship, prayer, ministry and everyday life, as we learn to live not only from the reality of God in us, but God working through us. This is Part 2.

Party statement | 11 May 2026 The regime is waging a systematic campaign to silence critics and terrorise those who dare to speak against its complicity with imperialism and zionism. Comrade Khalil has been arrested as a direct result of his political activism and online activity, and has not been heard from since his detention. These tactics of enforced disappearance and isolation are standard practice for a regime that rules through fear. This is part of the massive political repression campaign that has been launched in Bahrain as a result of the imperialist/zionist war on Iran. -------------------------------------- Subscribe!

In this interview, a throwdown between Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy of personal growth, with Steve Barton, a Gestalt psychology-trained High-Performance Executive Coach, and he's the author of The Father, the Son, and the Aha Moment--which I read as I'm a new-ish dad. The book, which is really about mindset, has some good insights, but I disagreed with a few of its fundamental suppositions. It's a bit too Platonic for my tastes, but I invited Steve on the podcast for a bit of friendly disagreement...04:20 The Game of Ten: Foundations and Philosophy08:19 Radical Self-Acceptance and Divine Consciousness13:11 Boundaries, Agreements, and Relationship Dynamics19:55 Genetic Predispositions and Self-Awareness24:46 Biohacking and Emotional Resilience Strategies33:52 Case Study: PTSD and Contracting with Self41:13 The Power of Forgiveness and Letting Go50:58 Unconditional Love, Boundaries, and Self-Protection01:00:27 The Role of Brain Training and Biohacking01:10:04 Practical Applications and Client Success Stories01:14:59 Final Message for Future GenerationsFor everything mentioned here, read: Aristotelian vs Platonic Personal Growth

In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Laura welcomes Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino and Dr. Katie Eastman, co-authors of The Peace Guidebook, to explore what it means to cultivate inner peace during uncertain and divisive times. Elizabeth, cofounder of Best Ever You Network and leader in personal development, and Dr. Katie, a grief and change expert and licensed therapist, drew on their experience when the simple but profound question, “What does the world need right now?” led them to create a practical guide for fostering peace from the inside out. Together, they and Dr. Laura explore why peace begins within each of us, how it ripples through our relationships and communities, and why connection, compassion, and understanding are more important than ever.  Dr. Laura examines the challenges of navigating conflict, judgment, grief, workplace tension, and the growing sense of disconnection many of us feel today. Elizabeth and Dr. Katie share practical insights from The Peace Guidebook, including the importance of showing up with love, pausing before reacting, and remembering that every person is carrying struggles we may not see. The conversation offers a hopeful perspective on humanity's future and practical ways to choose peace, even in difficult moments, while reminding us that meaningful change begins one person at a time.  "I believe that we will get better at inclusivity, diversity, connection, compassion, acceptance, and love.

I'm back with another concept that the manifestation / spiritual world glosses over but fails to explain at the depths required to manifest the career, relationships, and success we all desire. Unconditional love sounds nice, but it's so much more than just saying "yeah, I love them unconditionally." When you get the right formula to install this into your creator field, it's pure magic for creating anything you want in life.Embodying unconditional love will help you avoid so many crashouts, handle triggering people in your life in a matter of minutes, and keep your emotions balanced so you can avoid unnecessary reflections.Tune in to start seeing the world how Source sees it, and learn why this is a non-negotiable inside your manifesting toolkit.The Intuitive Advantage Waitlist (Intuition Training)Free webinar replay libraryInstagram: @melissaburkhart_Website: www.melissaburkhart.com

ThrasherNeil YoungThey were hiding behind hay balesThey were planting in the full moonThey had given all they had for something newBut the light of day was on themThey could see the thrashers comingAnd the water shone like diamonds in the dewAnd I was just getting up, hit the road before it's lightTrying to catch an hour on the sunWhen I saw those thrashers rolling byLooking more than two lanes wideI was feelin' like my day had just begunWhere the eagle glides, descendingThere's an ancient river bendingThrough the timeless gorge of changesWhere sleeplessness awaitsI searched out my companionsWho were lost in crystal canyonsWhen the aimless blade of scienceSlashed the pearly gatesIt was then that I knew I'd had enoughBurned my credit card for fuelHeaded out to where the pavement turns to sandWith a one way ticket to the land of truthAnd my suitcase in my handHow I lost my friends, I still don't understandThey had the best selectionThey were poisoned with protectionThere was nothing that they neededNothing left to findThey were lost in rock formationsOr became park bench mutationsOn the sidewalks and in the stationsThey were waiting, waitingSo I got bored and left them thereThey were just dead weight to meBetter down the road without that loadBrings back the time when I was eight or nineI was watchin' my mama's TVIt was that great Grand Canyon rescue episodeWhere the vulture glides, descendingOn an asphalt highway bendingThrough libraries and museums, galaxies and starsDown the windy halls of friendshipTo the rose clipped by the bullwhipThe motel of lost companionsWaits with heated pool and barBut me I'm not stopping thereGot my own row left to hoeJust another line in the field of timeWhen the thrasher comes, I'll be stuck in the sunLike the dinosaurs in shrinesBut I'll know the time has comeTo give what's mine

My eight-month-old puppy Tilly recently chewed through my jump rope. She has also excavated my gym bag, destroyed a hip roller, and shown zero remorse for any of it. And I love her completely. Not one bit less. In this episode I use that gap, between what she does and how I feel about her, to explore the concept of unconditional love. Most of the love in our lives is conditional. We have unwritten manuals that govern who gets our warmth and when. Unconditional love is something different entirely. And asking yourself the question "what would love do here?" is one of the most powerful self-leadership practices I know. I also bring this home to the relationship that matters most: the one you have with yourself. Want to keep going?

I'm A SongStephen Wilson Jr.I'm the showman in San AntonioMiddle of the rodeoDaddy's hand that you used to holdWhen you'd walk back to the carI'm the sound of the county fairFerris wheel kisses high up in the airA sip of brandy when your soul is bareAnd you need to share your heartI'm the words that'll hit youThat'll get you where you're goingSo you never go there aloneI'm the melody glued to the memoryThat you can't shake when it comes onI'm the part of you that you listen toRiding in the radio all night longI'm a songI'm a songI was there the day you learned to driveThe first time that you got highI even helped you realize that she wasn't right for youYou fall down, I pick you up againI helped a boy become a manWhen your best friend diedI helped you cry and finally turn him looseI'm the words that'll hit youThat'll get you where you're goingSo you never go there aloneI'm the melody glued to the memoryThat you can't shake when it comes onI'm the part of you that you listen toRiding in the radio all night longI'm a songI'm a songI'm a songI'm the part of you that you listen toRiding in the radio all night longI'm the words that'll hit youThat'll get you where you're goingSo you never go there aloneI'm the melody glued to the memoryThat you can't shake when it comes onI'm the part of you that you listen toRiding in the radio all night longI'm a song...

This month on Unfiltered Coffee, I share more about the machinery behind both the podcast and the investing practice — the 200-some episodes, the 2 decades of client relationships, the daily habits, and the things that simply take time and can't be rebuilt in a day, even if you wanted to. I share the idea of decision and choice fatigue: how templating the small stuff (the shoes, the shirt, the quarterly letter format) frees up mental capacity for the decisions that actually matter, and how consistency is the quiet, unglamorous compounding force behind almost everything worth building. I also talk about cultivating an ownership mindset with clients — wanting them to see their portfolio not as a list of tickers, but as part ownership in a handful of businesses worth understanding and holding.I also revisit a few books with fresh eyes: Scott Stillman's I Don't Want to Grow Up on the nonlinear relationship between money and lifestyle, David Schwartz's Thinking Big on belief as the foundation of getting help from the world, and John Kay's Obliquity on why profit, happiness, and most worthwhile goals are only ever reached indirectly. A paper from Steve Shaw and Gideon Nave on AI and "cognitive surrender" gets me thinking about the difference between reciting knowledge and actually understanding it — a distinction I trace back to a classmate from high school who could quote a textbook verbatim but didn't understand it. On the market side, I push back gently on the all-time-high headlines — you'll see why.I close with a personal story about an early client, and a round-up of recent conversations worth revisiting: Paul Johnson on Roger Murray and fundamental investing, Marion Fogli on the triple taboo of money, Robert Miles on 25 years of Berkshire CEO character studies, and a rebroadcast recommendation of the Jay Hughes episode on courage over knowledge. I end on an open question I'm still sitting with: can a gift ever really be unconditional?

"Every one of us is shadowed by an illusory person: a false self. This is the man that I want myself to be but who cannot exist, because God does not know anything about him. And to be unknown of God is altogether too much privacy. My false self is the one who wants to exist outside the reach of God's will and God's love—outside of reality and outside of life. And such a self cannot help but be an illusion."–Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

COULD A RELATIONSHIP BE YOUR TICKET OUT OF HELL… OUT OF HERE? What if the relationship you keep trying to save exists to strip bare and destroy the performative version of yourself that keeps calling superficial captivity love? Human beings built temples and spiritual systems in pursuit of liberation. Then we entered intimate relationships and treated the spiritual practice available as a comfort machine. Earth is the campus. Relationship is the curriculum. Relating is the practice. Your partner reaches places no sermon can reach. Their freedom exposes your attachment. Their difference threatens the identity built around being needed, chosen, desired, or reassured. The argument you keep trying to win may be the lesson your consciousness keeps refusing to learn. Intimate hell becomes the preferred model because it feels familiar. Clinicians may call it reenactment. Hawkins may call it an attractor field. The language changes. The return continues. The psyche keeps choosing the emotional climate it already knows how to survive. Rejection feels like chemistry. Distance feels like mystery. Control feels like care. Anxiety feels like passion. Performance feels like love. The partner becomes supply. You provide my peace. You regulate my worth. You quiet my fear. You prove that I matter. I call you perfect while you continue feeding the wound whose appetite never ends. That appetite remains endless because the wound has been starved from within. Its missing nourishment is direct, nonjudgmental observation: seeing fear, shame, grief, rage, need, and jealousy without condemnation, verdict, or exile. Integration asks us to offer inwardly what we keep demanding outwardly. We avoid that work. So intimacy becomes a supply chain. Giving stays conditional upon receiving. The pedestal holds whoever keeps the wound fed. When the supply weakens, the “perfect partner” becomes cold, selfish, or changed. Unconditional love breaks the loop. It allows truth without punishment, closeness without ownership, care without self-erasure, difference without exile, and freedom without abandonment. It can set boundaries, remove access, or end the relationship without stripping either person of human worth. The deepest question reaches beyond staying together: Can two human beings stop employing each other to manage their wounds long enough to discover whether love remains? Your partner cannot carry you out of hell. Relationship may reveal why you keep choosing it.

Our pilgrim journey through life need not be one of constant sorrow, but from time to time our earthly sojourn will pass through a vale of tears. And that's when Jesus weeps with us.
