• 472 // Forgiveness in Faith: What Jesus Taught About Letting Go (Bible Study and Devotional)

  Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today's episode is a powerful reminder that God's forgiveness isn't meant to be counted or limited—it's meant to be freely given just as we've freely received it. We're diving into Matthew 18:21-35 where Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who wrongs him. This isn't about keeping score; it's about our heart posture! Plus, we're continuing with day two of Rick Warren's devotional "Love Forgives," where we're reminded that while forgiveness isn't fair, neither is the grace God has shown us! We examine how holding onto unforgiveness only creates bitterness that affects our spiritual and physical health, while letting go brings the peace Jesus promised in John 14:27.  Whether you're dealing with past hurts or current struggles with forgiveness, this episode will challenge you to release resentment and embrace the freedom that comes from forgiving as Christ forgave us. Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛 🙏 Need clarity in your faith journey?

• 471 //  What Forgiveness Is NOT: The 5 Myths of Forgiveness (Bible Study and Devotional)

  Hey Sis! 🎙️  Today's episode is all about the transformative power of forgiveness, as we begin our study of Matthew 18:21-35 where Jesus teaches us to forgive "not seven times, but seventy-seven times." We're diving into Peter's question about forgiveness limits and Jesus' powerful parable of the unforgiving servant.  Plus, we're starting a brand new devotional from Rick Warren titled "Love Forgives," where we'll unpack five common misconceptions about forgiveness—like the idea that forgiveness is conditional or means forgetting what happened. If you've been struggling with complicated relationships or holding onto resentment, this episode will challenge you to embrace God's model of unconditional forgiveness.  Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛 🙏 Need clarity in your faith journey?

• 470 //  Release the Prison of Offense & Praying For Your Enemies (Bible Study and Devotional)

  Hey Sis! 🎙️  Today's episode reminds us that perspective changes everything—especially when we're feeling overwhelmed by life's demands. We're wrapping up our scripture study from James 3:13-18, exploring the profound difference between earthly wisdom and heavenly wisdom. Our week concludes with a powerful devotional from "Love Your Enemies" by Vance K.  Jackson that takes us through Job's remarkable example of forgiveness and restoration. If you've been struggling with offense or feeling betrayed by those closest to you, this episode offers biblical encouragement to release others from the prison of unforgiveness. We also dive into how heavenly wisdom is revealed not just in our words but in our actions—it's pure, peaceful, considerate, merciful, and sincere.  The conversation reminds us that when we pray for those who have wronged us (just as Job did), God can turn our captivity into blessing.  Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛 🙏 Need clarity in your faith journey?

• 469 //  Blessing Your Enemies: A Bible Study on James 3 & Kingdom Wisdom (Bible Study and Devotional)

  Hey Sis! 🎙️  Today's episode is all about shifting our focus from offense to God's wisdom and challenging ourselves to bless those who curse us. We're diving into James 3:13-18, exploring what heavenly wisdom truly looks like—pure, peace-loving, considerate, and full of mercy. If you've been feeling stuck in hurt or resentment, this episode will help you release what's blocking your heart!  We're continuing our devotional, "Love Your Enemies" by Vance K. Jackson, that perfectly complements our journey through dealing with complicated people. The devotional reminds us that when we focus more on our enemies than on God, we actually begin to worship the offense rather than the One who can heal us.  Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛 🙏 Need clarity in your faith journey?

• 468 // Is Jesus' Command to Love Your Enemies Actually Possible?  (Bible Study and Devotional)

  Hey Sis! 🎙️  Today's episode, we are distinguishing between true heavenly wisdom and the false wisdom that comes from selfish ambition and envy. We're continuing our study of James 3:13-18, diving deep into verses 14-16 where James challenges us to examine the source of our wisdom. Are we operating with wisdom from above or letting "earthly, unspiritual, and demonic" forces guide our behavior? If you've ever caught yourself comparing, competing, or trying to look better than others, this heart check is for you! Plus, we're starting a powerful new devotional called "Love Your Enemies" by Vance K. Jackson that's perfectly timed as we finish our discussion on complicated relationships. Day 1 introduces us to the radical commandment of Jesus to love our enemies—not just tolerate them, but to welcome them with agape love.  We explore how this kind of love is actually a weapon that protects our hearts from becoming hardened by bitterness and hate. If you're carrying the weight of past offenses or struggling with difficult workplace relationships, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to "attack with love" instead of mirroring negativity. Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛 🙏 Need clarity in your faith journey?
