Many preachers today are saying that God has unconditional love for sinners. Today, R.C. Sproul explains that while this message may be proclaimed with good intentions, it can have perilous effects on the unbelievers who hear it.

Blake begins a three-episode overview of biblical covenants by deep-diving into the first two covenants found in Scripture: the Noahic Covenant and the Abrahamic Covenant. In this series, we seek to answer questions like these: What is the nature of a covenant? What do covenants entail? Can covenants be broken? That You May Know Him, Episode 260.

Have you ever felt like your faith journey was something you had to walk alone? Think again. In this powerful message, “The Church – God's Plan for Every Believer,” Jacques Bruwer unpacks the radical truth that salvation is not just about your personal relationship with Jesus—it's about being part of His Body. You weren't just saved from sin; you were saved into family, purpose, and mission. Discover why being planted in a local church is not optional, but essential to your identity, growth, and calling. This teaching will challenge the cultural norm of isolated Christianity and reveal God's original design for shared life, deep connection, and Kingdom impact. Your place matters. Your part is needed. This is more than community—it's communion. Listen now and rediscover why the Church isn't just a good idea—it's God's idea.

Are you tired of riding the rollercoaster of emotions in your walk with God? Join Shayne Holesgrove as he tackles one of the most real struggles believers face - doubt. Whether you feel dry, distant, or unsure of God's presence, this message will anchor your soul in unchanging truth. You'll discover how even giants like John the Baptist battled with doubt, and how Jesus responded - not with condemnation, but by pointing him back to Scripture. This isn't about hyping you up - it's about grounding you. With powerful insights, rich Scripture, and practical steps, you'll learn how to walk by faith, not by feeling. If you've ever asked, “Where is God when I don't feel Him?”—this teaching is for you. Let truth recalibrate your heart, and step into unwavering confidence in what Christ has done.

Winning the war: Praying as a warrior - Identity In Christ - Part 15 - Avdulla Kariqi (Durrës) by GraceLife Podcast

Michael Kelley preaches from Philippians 4. As Paul brings his letter to the Philippians to a close, he provides instruction without exceptions. The Christian life should be marked by unconditional rejoicing, unconditional gentleness, unconditional prayer, and unconditional peace. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

The present tends to seem more distressing to us than the past, for the simple reason that we are not obliged to live in the past. Nevertheless the distress of our present age is real and therein lies the temptation to despair. We see senseless wars and war crimes; we see Machiavellian politics and political corruption; we see growing inequality and flagrant injustice; in the words of the psalmist, the arrogant prosper and the wicked have no pain. And so we are tempted to despair. But we do not have to despair.

Are the land promises made to Israel in the Old Testament still standing? Are they unfulfilled? Are Jewish people automatically saved because they're Jewish? Should Christians support Israel unequivocally? Blake reacts to a conversation between apologists Alisa Childers and Dr. Jeff Myers. That You May Know Him, Episode 259 

In this episode of Notable Leaders' Radio, I sit down with Andy Crocker, author of The Unconditionals, to explore how five core values, unconditional love, gratitude, integrity, accountability, and endeavor, can transform how we face challenges and build resilience. Andy shares powerful insights and real-life stories that reveal how grounding yourself in these values can help you recover from failure faster, pivot with purpose, and live a life defined by meaning, not perfection. In this episode, you'll learn how to: See failure as a launchpad, not a dead end. When you stop viewing setbacks as defeat, you recover faster and grow wiser, equipped to seize new opportunities with greater clarity and courage. Define success on your own terms. Ditch the societal checklist. Pursuing fulfillment, not perfection, leads to greater joy, authenticity, and personal achievement. Pivot with purpose when life shifts. Unexpected turns are inevitable. A values-based mindset empowers you to adjust course with intention and rediscover meaning, even in the midst of change. Embrace imperfection as a path to progress. Mastery isn't about getting it right the first time—it's about learning, evolving, and moving forward without fear of failure.

In this episode of Redeemed Through His Blood, Scott and Deb explore one of the most hope-filled doctrines of the gospel—the unconditional effects of Jesus Christ's Atonement. These are the blessings given freely: the sustaining strength, healing grace, and divine compensation extended even when we're unaware, undeserving, or unready. With clarity and compassion, they unpack how Christ's love reaches into every soul, not because of who we are—but because of who He is.This conversation lifts burdens and quiets doubts, especially for those who feel like they haven't “earned” Christ's help. Scott and Deb testify that Jesus's Atonement isn't just reserved for the repentant—it's at work in the trauma we didn't cause, in the wounds we didn't choose, and in the aching places we don't yet know how to surrender. If you've ever wondered whether He's helping you—even when you're not doing “all the things”—this episode will answer with a resounding yes.

Jesus is the teacher who in the parable of the Good Samaritan calls us to show mercy. Jesus is the Good Samaritan who comes to us and saves us after we're are left for dead. Jesus is the one beaten by robbers who we are to be a neighbor to by showing mercy. Jesus is the innocent one crucified with the robbers, so that he can save them too.

When you're open, life feels beautiful and joyful; when you're closed, everything seems wrong. This leaves you with two choices: find things that open you or find out how not to close. The first leads to a life of struggling with people, places, and things to match your preferences, while the second leads to the spiritual state of unconditional well-being.

We are all familiar with this theological problem: If God is all-loving, all-knowing, all-powerful, why is there is so much evil and suffering in the world? Theodicy is the attempt to reconcile these realities and thus justify God. But is a Christian theodicy possible?

In this thought-provoking solo episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, Amy Wheeler explores the profound topic of safety in human relationships, drawing from recent co-creative discussions with seasoned therapists and yoga practitioners, as well as insights from Polyvagal Theory.Episode Highlights:The Foundation of Healing: Amy emphasizes that safety—both internal and external—is the essential foundation for healing, transformation, and authentic human connection.The Role of Nonjudgment: A central theme of this episode is how nonjudgmental presence, both in therapy and daily life, fosters safety and allows people to open up and be themselves.Artificial Intelligence & Safety: Amy reflects on the surprising role AI therapy bots play in creating a nonjudgmental space, and what this teaches us about human interaction.Key Qualities that Foster Safety:Comfort with silence and emotional presence.Ability to repair ruptures in relationships, not just avoid them.Unconditional positive regard without creating stories about others.Transparency balanced with cultural sensitivity.Openness to new experiences and flexibility in thinking.Clear and honest communication that eliminates guesswork.Self-awareness and the ability to reflect and take responsibility.Consistency, calm regulation, and respect for time and commitments.Attunement to the emotional state of others, with empathetic mirroring.A melodic, regulated voice that supports co-regulation.Genuine listening that seeks to understand, not just respond.Familiar rituals and environments that offer predictable support.Respect for diverse perspectives and willingness to stand up for justice.Key Takeaways:Safety isn't just about avoiding harm; it's about creating conditions where authenticity, trust, and transformation can thrive.Even positive judgments can feel like evaluations, reducing the sense of safety in a relationship.Sacredness in connection—showing up mentally, emotionally, and spiritually prepared—amplifies the healing potential of every interaction.Resources Mentioned:Polyvagal Theory – A framework for understanding how safety and social engagement are wired into our nervous system.Book Recommendation: Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud – Understanding when and how to bring closure to relationships in a healthy way.Connect with Amy Wheeler: For more episodes, resources, and information about Yoga Therapy, visit TheOptimalState.comSupport the Show: If you found value in this episode, please rate, review, and share it with others who may benefit from these insights into creating safer, more authentic relationships.Master of Science in Yoga Therapy https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/master-of-science-in-yoga-therapy/ Explore MUIH's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals.  https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices/ Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at MUIH: https://muih.edu/academics/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification/

When James and John in their hostility suggested a drone strike on a Samaritan village because Elijah did something like that, Jesus rebuked them for their wrong spirit. From this story we learn that you can find things in the Bible that you cannot find in the spirit of Jesus.

We do not meet people. We meet frequencies. What we mislabel “Unconditional love,” as “Attachment/Bonding” “chemistry,” or “connection” and it may not be a conscious choice, but rather the unconscious magnetic pull of vibrational echoes—an energetic reenactment of unresolved psychic material that cloaks itself in the language of romance.

Jesus is creating a new humanity by breathing the breath of life upon the Church, just as God in the beginning breathed the breath of life upon a pile of dirt to create the first humanity. This breath of life is the Holy Spirit. Our part in all this is to develop a posture of openness and receptivity to God the Holy Spirit. We want to be the kind of people who welcome the Holy Spirit on a regular basis. As Christians we remain open to receive the Holy Spirit primarily for two things: transformation and empowerment.
