This Is Love - Part 3 - Never Leave You, Nor Forsake You - Pieter Weenink(Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast

"The nuns taught us that there are two ways through life—the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you will follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself, accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked; accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to Lord it over them, to have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it, when love is smiling through all things. They taught us the no one who loves the way of grace ever comes to a bad end. I will be true to you whatever comes."- The Tree of Life

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” — 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-7 (NIV) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…” — Galatians 5 : 22 (NIV)Recorded live here in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope.Show NotesWelcome to the Daily Christian Prayer Podcast with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope.Prayer for Love, Prayer for Compassion, Prayer for Forgiveness, Prayer for Marriage, Prayer for Relationships, Prayer for God's Love in My Heart — these are some of the most searched prayers around the world. And the Word of God says: “Love never fails.”Love is the first fruit of the Spirit because it carries all the others. Love melts fear. Love breaks hate. Love heals what division destroyed. When love leads, peace follows.You might be finding it hard to love in this season — but the Holy Spirit empowers what the flesh cannot do. Love isn't just emotion; it's obedience to God's nature. When you love your enemy, you look like Jesus. When you forgive, heaven opens.Wherever you are today, let divine love overflow in your speech, your attitude, and your actions. Love is not weak — it's the strongest force in the universe.

This Is Love - Part 2 - Neither Do I Condemn You - Pieter Weenink (Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast

Job was a blameless man caught in a contest between the divine and diabolical that he knew nothing about. He lost his wealth, his health, and all ten of his children. His friends Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar come to comfort him but end up accusing him. Job defends his integrity in a series of poetic debates that lasts for 27 chapters. Then Elihu enters the story...

Let this truth fill your soul today. You are loved by God. No matter who you are, where you have been, or what you have done, God loves you. And his love is as high as the heavens.Main Points:1. Have you ever questioned the love of God? Have you ever thought, “How could God love someone like me?” May you wonder if there was a limit to God's love.2. When we understand the depth of his love for us, it creates security. We will believe His promise that He will never leave us or forsake us. We are confident in his grace and mercy. We will trust that His Word is true and that He can be counted on.3. In this life, love can sometimes be conditional. If expectations are not met, if trust is violated, if mistakes are made, sometimes people will withdraw their love. But God's love for us is unconditional. Even though we have failed God many times, his love for us remains. Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 103:11 - “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him.”Ephesians 3:17-19 - “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”1 John 3:1 - “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God, and that is what we are!”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

What if the church was never meant to be a show, a programme, or an event but a living, breathing gathering of people filled with God's very presence? In this powerful and practical message, Shayne Holesgrove shares how the Church is sacred, supernatural, and built for more than entertainment. It's a place where every believer comes ready; ready to worship, to be equipped, and to overflow in the Spirit to meet every need. Discover the truth that you are the temple of God, the dwelling place of His Spirit and power. The same glory that filled Solomon's temple now fills you. Shayne unpacks how the gifts and abilities of the Spirit are not reserved for a few but are God's power working through every believer “as the occasion demands.” You'll hear real stories of miracles, prophetic insight, and supernatural wisdom, and be stirred to realize that the Spirit within you is not dormant. If you've ever longed to experience a more authentic, Spirit-filled life, where church is alive, not artificial, and where believers truly minister one to another, this message will awaken you. Get ready to see yourself as God sees you: His temple, His vessel, His demonstration of glory.

Job is a poetic book probably written in the fourth or fifth century BC, possibly written in Persia. The authors (there appears to be more than one) were almost certainly Israelites—but the story itself occurs outside of Israel and doesn't appear to have Jewish characters. The book is a poetic exploration of the problem of suffering and our response to it.

Every marriage experiences conflict, tragedies, and adversity. The question is: will you and your spouse allow those hardships to be deal-breakers or heart-makers in your relationship? In this program, Chip dispels the illusion that marriage is a care-free journey, without bumps in the road. He reveals that–contrary to popular belief–challenges and suffering are not signs of trouble in your marriage, but an opportunity to deepen your intimacy with your mate.Introduction:Marriage is an UNCONDITIONAL commitment to an IMPERFECT person.Review:Foundational Truth #1:You can't live this life without the supernatural power of God, so following Jesus personally is the number one priority.Foundational Truth #2:You must choose to love your mate whether you feel like it or not. Foundational Marriage TruthsFoundational Truth #3:We will have ongoing challenges with communication, sex, finances, parenting, and extended family. These issues are not “DEAL BREAKERS,” they are “HEART MAKERS” as we learn to listen, understand, and follow God's path.Key verse:James 1:2-5Foundational Truth #6:I will not consider a divorce as an OPTION and I will never threaten my spouse with divorce.

The prophets and psalmists of lament show us how to find faith and hold on to hope in the time of tears.

Host Dana Skaggs sits down with Abagail McKiernan, founder of the nonprofit HelpLink, to uncover the deeply personal story that inspired her mission. What began as a moment of isolation became a movement rooted in unconditional generosity. Together, they explore how giving without expectation can restore dignity, forge authentic community, and remind us that the kindness we extend often finds its way back when we need it most.

September 28, 2025 Unconditional discipleship to King Jesus is the only faithful and pleasing response to the Gospel. Humble surrender, loyalty and allegiance to the King above any circumstance, person or thing. We have faith in the faithfulness of our King trusting that he gives life and life to the full!

When tackling an important project, it is natural to want to divide all the tasks fairly, so everyone shares the responsibilities and weight of the job. However, in this program, Chip Ingram cautions that while that strategy may be successful in the workplace, it often causes stress, burnout, and resentment at home. Hear what God's Word says about an all-in partnership with your spouse, that is deeply rewarding and life-giving.Fighting lies with truthLie #6:Marriage is a 50-50 proposition. As long as everyone does their part everything will be okay.The truth:Marriage is a 100%-100% proposition. It is an UNCONDITIONAL commitment to an imperfect person. It's giving the other person what they need the MOST, when they DESERVE it the least, at great PERSONAL COST.Key verse:John 13:34-35Lie #7:Marriage shouldn't be this difficult. No matter how hard I work it seems like we always have issues to work through. I really wonder if it's worth it.The truth:Everything of great value requires COMMITMENT, SACRIFICE, and PERSEVERANCE. As my spouse and I face challenges and overcome them, our intimacy and joy will far outweigh our present problems.Key verse:Galatians 6:9Lie #8:I've tried hard to make this marriage work, but it's too far gone. God wants me to be happy and I know He'll understand if I get a divorce.The truth:God HATES divorce. No marriage is beyond repair. If Jesus can raise the dead, He can certainly RESURRECT my marriage.Key verse:Malachi 2:16Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsMarriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

“Parenting is a spiritual path of growth and evolution.”  Have you ever noticed how children have a way of teaching us the deepest truths about life without ever saying a word? In their laughter, their play, their curiosity, and even their tantrums, they mirror back to us who we really are. In this episode of Soul Talk, I share the most important lessons my 2-year-old son has taught me, lessons about love, ego, happiness, and presence. Parenting, I've discovered, isn't just about raising a child. It's a profound spiritual path, one that stretches you, humbles you, and calls you to live with greater integrity and selflessness. From learning that happiness is our true nature, not something we chase, to remembering the sacredness of ordinary moments, I'll take you through the ways fatherhood has transformed me. You'll hear how children act as mirrors for our unhealed wounds, why they copy everything we do, and how their playfulness and curiosity invite us back to a simpler, freer way of living. If you've ever felt weighed down by life's seriousness, struggled to stay present with loved ones, or wondered how to break cycles of generational pain, this conversation will open your heart. Because at its core, parenting and life itself aren't about perfection. It's about choosing love, healing what we've carried, and leaving a legacy of wholeness for the next generation. Real joy isn't in the milestones or the accomplishments. Real joy is in the everyday moments, moments we often overlook until they're gone. And sometimes, it takes the eyes of a child to remind us of that truth. Timestamps: (00:04:23) -  Parenting as another world.  (00:05:39) -  Parenting = spiritual path/ego purification. (00:08:02) -  Selflessness, generational thinking & responsibility. (00:11:14) -  Child as mirror; fruit of inner work.   (00:13:23) - “They copy everything” — integrity & who-you-are matters.   (00:19:16) - Curiosity / non-judgement / in-the-moment emotional release.  (00:21:10) -  Happiness is our nature/stop seeking. (00:24:09) -  Savor ordinary moments; “he will never be this small again.”  (00:26:48) -  Unconditional love / “I'm lovable just the way I am.”  Some questions I ask: What conditions do I put on my happiness? What is parenting really like, beyond what we imagine? How does being a parent purify the ego? Can a man truly become a man without being responsible for another life? How do children reflect the parts of us we haven't healed? How much are kids absorbing from everything we do and say? Am I appreciating the ordinary moments that will never come again? In this episode, you will learn about: Why parenting is one of the most profound spiritual paths. How children mirror our subconscious patterns and unresolved wounds. The importance of integrity, why kids learn more from what we do than what we say. Lessons on play, presence, and embracing life's ordinary moments. How to reconnect with happiness as your natural state of being. The power of healing your own consciousness to gift your children freedom from generational pain.   Get in Touch: Email me at kuteblackson@kuteblackson.com Visit my website: www.kuteblackson.com Resources with Kute Blackson: Kute's Life-changing Path to Abundance & Miracles: https://www.8levelsofgratitude.com Free masterclass: Learn The Manifestation secret to Remove Mental Blocks & Invisible Barriers to Attract The Life of Abundance You Desire.

“I believe” is a powerful statement. When we express our faith in Jesus we are not saying one thing, but four things. The shape of faith is made up of four sides: belief (what we do with our minds), confidence (what we do with our hearts, trust (what we do with our bodies), and allegiance (what we do with our will). Growing as people of faith requires growing in all four areas.

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows***Support: https://campsite.com/marieshadowshttps://patreon.com/marieshadowshttps://open.spotify.com/show/5nGoROIAggUjr04rAQkKfR?si=7a6958d00f2940f4***This episode isn't gossip. It's a case study in how love, anger, and performance collide until nobody knows where the act ends and the damage begins. Using the Masha Slamovich–Akira situation as a lens, we break down the patterns that trap people in toxic cycles—both in relationships and in industries that profit from chaos.Big Idea 1: The Cycle of Toxic LoveRelationships don't start toxic—they start with care, attention, and the promise that someone sees you. But when affection escalates into humiliation, apology, and repetition, love itself becomes a weapon.Affection That Feels Safe at First: “Because I care about you.” What should be comfort becomes a plea: please don't hurt me again.Words as Weapons: “Now you can love the memory of me.” Poetry as a tether, keeping a victim tied to pain.Devotion Turned Against You: “Once again, my love doesn't come with an asterisk.” Unconditional love can become leverage.Identity Attacks: “You're femme as f* and I'm not gay.” Humiliation disguised as honesty cuts deeper than fists.Big Idea 2: Abuse Isn't Always PhysicalNot all damage leaves a bruise. Emotional abuse can linger for years and is often invisible.Invisible Scars: Words like “you'll never be enough” echo long after a busted lip heals.Silence Feeds the Cycle: Unsounded protests allow the pattern to repeat.Love as a Trap: Staying out of hope that love will “win” can keep someone trapped.Abuse Has No Gender: Men can be victims. Women can be abusers. No stereotype protects anyone.Big Idea 3: Wrestling Culture Makes It WorseThis is bigger than two people. Wrestling rewards chaos and blurs lines between performance and personal boundaries.Brutal Schedules and Frayed Tempers: Exhaustion makes patience harder, and abuse more likely.“Work the Gimmick” = Blur the Line: Selling intimacy as a job makes it easy to forget where the act ends.Public Pain as Content: Online outrage consumes real suffering for clicks.The Pop Isn't Worth Your Soul: No angle, booking, or cheer is worth living in fear.Big Idea 4: Lessons We Have to CarryThis story is a mirror for every relationship and community that confuses passion with pain.Anger Is Not Love: Hitting, throwing, or humiliating is control, not passion.Communication Saves Lives: Speak up. Step away. Break the cycle with conversation.Love Yourself Enough to Leave: Walking away isn't weakness—it's survival.Truth Over Gossip: Talk about hard things without turning pain into entertainment.Three Smaller but Crucial IdeasPerformance Isn't Consent: A crowd pop doesn't erase personal boundaries.Algorithms Thrive on Suffering: Outrage and pain get clicks; popularity doesn't equal truth.Healing Requires Accountability: No one is a cartoon villain. Acknowledging harm is step one.Final ThoughtThe Masha–Akira story isn't about picking sides. It's about recognizing patterns before they trap us, refusing to mistake chaos for love, and remembering that no pop, storyline, or relationship is worth your soul.Time Stamp00:00 – Intro, context, and my personal disclaimers.03:00 – My brief interactions with Masha & Akira in the wrestling scene.08:00 – The first text message exchange—what it reveals about anger and control.17:00 – Overstimulation, bad matches, and misplaced frustration.28:00 – Physical abuse and the pictures of injuries.35:00 – Weaponizing sex and status in a toxic relationship.41:00 – Why communication matters more than winning an argument.47:00 – The breakup texts and what they teach us about self-awareness.50:00 – My call for accountability and healthier outlets for anger.

Most of us love the idea of unconditional support. We're told it's the gold standard because it feels warm, safe, cozy and ideal.I thought so too… until I realized it was quietly keeping me stuck.In this week's episode: “The Downside to Unconditional Support”. I share a story from my early 30s. My therapist was kind, supportive, and warm. My sessions with her felt like “back in the womb.”Awesome, right? Isn't that the goal?Yes, but here's the catch: my nervous system got too relaxed.

What is your heart reaction when trials come in your lives? Okay, now that you know how you should answer, ask how you genuinely react when trials come your way, and then tune in to hear how Paul and Silas responded. If we're only thankful when things go our way, we're missing the point of unconditional gratitude.

Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God primarily in parables. These parables are not folksy illustrations to help us better understand the point—quite the opposite in fact. The parables of Jesus are often deliberately disorienting. Jesus wants to throw us off balance so that we might stumble into a previously unknown world—the world of God's grace where many of our most common assumptions are subverted.

The question of Israel's chosenness isn't abstract - it's foundational.  If God's covenant with Abraham is conditional, then Israel's future and even our own assurance in Christ are uncertain. But if it's unconditional, then God's faithfulness to Abraham secures hope for us all. In this episode, Ron and Matt Davis trace the Abrahamic covenant from Genesis 12, 15, and 17. They unpack the ancient covenant-cutting ceremony, the unconditional nature of God's promise, and how the Mosaic covenant fits alongside it.  They also show how the New Testament reaffirms - not erases - God's oath to Abraham, and why that matters for both Jews and Gentiles today. With analogies of trust funds and house rules, they bring clarity to common misunderstandings. God's covenant stands not because of human performance but because of His promise. And that means His faithfulness to Israel is the same faithfulness we depend on in Jesus. Key Takeaways God initiated and ratified the Abrahamic covenant alone - it's unconditional. Genesis 12–17 reveals a promise of people, place, and purpose. The land boundaries are literal, not symbolic. Circumcision is the covenant sign, not its source. The Mosaic covenant governs life in the land but does not annul Abraham's promise. The New Testament celebrates - not cancels - the Abrahamic covenant. God's gifts and calling are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). Chapter Markers 00:00 – Welcome and framing the question 05:10 – Genesis 12: God's call to Abram 13:20 – Genesis 15: Cutting the covenant 28:15 – Genesis 17: Everlasting covenant and circumcision 41:00 – Mosaic covenant vs. Abrahamic covenant 55:30 – Genesis 22: Binding of Isaac and covenant confirmed 1:05:10 – New Testament voices: Galatians, Romans, Hebrews 1:18:00 – Analogies: trust funds, house rules, and irrevocable promises 1:28:00 – Final reflections and what's next God's covenant with Abraham is unconditional, everlasting, and still active. It anchors Israel's destiny and secures the hope of all who trust in the Messiah.

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 housed in your body, in your love, in your God—or are you squatting in the ruins of your own heart, evicted nightly by fear? You can hold deeds to mansions, stocks, and coins, yet still be spiritually homeless. You can wear the finest shoes, yet carry the brokest heart. 

Unconditional love? Are Religions intrinsically violent? Is the Old Covenant still valid? This and more on Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.
