On today's episode, we lay out five practical, gospel-rooted steps to forgive: pray, forgive inwardly, don't avoid them, pursue reconciliation + restitution, and do everything in love.
If you’re tired of struggling to forgive or carrying the weight of unforgiveness listen in. This episode invites you to take the next step toward healing and to practice forgiveness that transforms relationships and restores hope.
In today's episode, we step into a story that refuses to leave you unchanged: a king, an impossible debt, and a servant who learns — the hard way — what it means to be forgiven. Against the backdrop of a world quick to cancel and slow to heal, this episode peels back the layers of anger, justice, and the radical mercy Jesus calls us to.
We trace how the cross meets justice, why true forgiveness costs us something, and how withholdi...
In this episode, we walk into God's courtroom where He as Judge declares a messed up life ‘not guilty’—not because the person became perfect, but because Jesus paid the price. We can be forgiven and declared sinless because of the great Bible truth of forgiveness. It is why God’s forgiveness covers past, present, and future sins.
God's forgiveness moves us from the darkness of guilt to the sunshine of peace! Justification is a com...
In this episode we follow Asaph through a raw, honest moment of spiritual near-failure. He encountered jealousy, confusion, and the temptation to call it quits. As the Psalm unfolds, he compares himself to the prosperous wicked, spirals toward despair, and asks whether faith is even worth it.
But it all turns around when he returns to what he knows is certain, the church, the community of believers, and the immutable character of G...
In today's episode we talk about how to respond to God in prayer by examining the three prayers of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus reveals that prayer becomes a journey to know God better and discern His will.
Satan attacks in many ways but one of his go to attacks is by planting lies in our minds. Satan has the power to steal your mind. He wants to influence your thoughts and thus your actions. He attacks by presenting us with an idea. An idea that is a lie disguised as the truth. He wants you to believe the lies so that your actions will follow. God gives us the tools to recognize and defend against these attacks. You can fight and res...
This episode explores how prayer leads us to know God more deeply, drawing on Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3. It explains that prayer is instinctive, instructive, and a lifelong journey that strengthens the inner person, roots us in love, and opens us to encountering God’s fullness.
We look as some practical tools for prayer such as: plan regular prayer times, experiment with different forms (petition, confession, adoration, meditati...
As we navigate forward on our podcast episodes, I want to central in on this theme of knowing God better. Paul emphasizes that knowing God is the greatest achievement in our Christian life. In this episode we explore Ephesians 1, where Paul prays for spiritual wisdom and revelation to know God better that we may understand our calling, recognize the spiritual riches we have in Christ, and rely on God's power.
We discuss practical s...
On today's episode we explore what it means to be a Christian on mission, using John 4 and Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman as the central example. Jesus teaches us the importance of lifting up our eyes and looking for the opportunities that are all around us. He reveals that we are to overcoming cultural barriers to reach unexpected people like this Samaritan woman. To be a Christian on mission means we must see and seize...
On today's episode, we look at how Jesus prepared his disciples for persecution by promising the Holy Spirit. He describes him as the Comforter, an indwelling presence for believers. This episode explores the Holy Spirit’s role in sealing salvation, guiding into all truth, empowering believers for victorious living, and partnering with us in evangelism.
In this episode we walk through John 15 to explore what it means to be a friend of Jesus, unpacking the themes of sacrifice, obedience, availability, and God’s relational design.
The episode highlights these key points: Jesus proved friendship by laying down his life, friendship requires mutual sacrifice and loyalty, obedience is the proof of friendship, and forgiveness and availability are central to Jesus’ way of relating to us.
In this episode we walk through John 15 and sort out the three different types of branches that Jesus talks about: the fruitful (pruned to produce more), the unfruitful (believers who stop bearing fruit and are set aside), and the withered (those who only look like branches but never truly trusted Him).
Take a moment to pause and check to see which branch your are. Trust Jesus if you never have, and if you’re a believer who’s grown...
In this episode we unpack Jesus’ call to “abide” — explaining how remaining in Christ is a loyal, productive, and joyful way of life. This passage reveals how abiding connects us to the Vine, leads to spiritual fruit, and requires pruning through trials and God’s word.
Listeners will get practical steps for living in daily fellowship with Jesus, experiencing answered prayer, growing in character, and finding lasting purpose and joy...
