325 – Does your life ever feel incomplete?

How often do you feel like there’s something missing in your life?

It could be a relationship, a better job, enough money to pay the bills, better health. It could go deeper than that.

You might feel like your life is incomplete because you don’t know what your higher sense of purpose is, and if you do, you’re not sure how to fulfill it.

Why is it that most of us at some time or another feel like something is missing in our lives? We don’t feel complete or whole. Maybe even if you have all the outward signs of success, on the inside, you may still feel incomplete.

In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about Jesus’s perspective on what it means to be whole and how to catch his vision to experience our wholeness, our completeness as children of God.

If Jesus was here today physically like he was 2,000 years ago, he would see your wholeness and show it to you.

The good news is Christ is here today revealing your spiritual wholeness to you through the Holy Spirit.

324 - What do you do when someone won't forgive you?

Have you ever apologized to someone, but they won’t forgive you?

They're still feeling hurt or betrayed and they just can’t bring themselves to forgive you.

It’s a pretty lousy feeling. And sometimes it seems like you can’t get on with your own life until there’s some reconciliation and you get that relationship healed.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen.

So what do you do when that happens? How do you pray and what do you do someone won’t forgive you?

That’s what we’re talking about this week on Freedom Friday.

323 – You’ve probably heard of the destruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem when the Roman army destroyed it in 70 AD.

But have you ever wondered how that event is relevant to us today?

What can you and I learn from the destruction of Jerusalem, now almost 2,000 years later?

Well, actually there’s a lot we can learn and my guest this week, Ward Sanford, and I are going to dig into some important lessons we need to learn, individually and collectively as the church, that can make all the difference how we function in the world.

Spoiler alert:

What happened during the four years, and especially just the week before the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple should open our eyes to what’s going on today.

322 – It's time to accept God's forgiveness

Have you ever had trouble accepting God’s forgiveness for mistakes you made or sins you committed?

And you still feel a burden of guilt even though you’re not making those same mistakes or committing those sins anymore?

That’s what we’re talking about this week on Freedom Friday. Here are a few key points to help you in this process.

• Forgiveness is a gift from God

• Confess your mistakes and sins to yourself and God
• Be honest and specific

• Thank God for His forgiveness
• Take time for Bible study and prayer
• Nurture and deepen your relationship with God

321 – If Jesus came to your home town, what would he do?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Jesus came to your community?

Who would he talk to? Who would he preach to? Who would he heal?

Who would be receptive to his message?

Who would oppose him and try to stop him or get rid of him?

In this week’s episode, we dig into

• The way Jesus ministered to people in their communities
• How some people were receptive to him
• How others were opposed
• What’s going on in our communities today to see how we can get a better idea of how to be more like Jesus in the way we interact with people

312 FF – Have you ever struggled to forgive yourself?

In this week's Freedom Friday episode, we're going to tackle what is sometimes one of the hardest things to do, forgive yourself.

I share my friend Jim's story where he learned to forgive his father and himself for things that happened years ago.

The thing that helped him the most was an odd little exercise I had him try.

It worked!

And it's helped a lot of folks since then actually forgive themselves.

I'd love to hear how you have been able to forgive yourself.

318 FF – Are you committing the same sin over and over?

You're not alone. A lot of people struggle with this. I sure have.

In this week's Freedom Friday episode, I share just a few ideas that can help you face these temptations to keep committing the same sin.

• Take an honest look at your self and what you think this sin is giving you
• Realizing whatever sin "gives" you is a counterfeit
• Sin never really meets a need
• God is the only one who can meet your needs
• Temptations don't come from you, but from the "enemy"

317 – What do you think of when you hear the word "evangelism"?

Is it a good thing? Or does it make you cringe?

All too often evangelism today has a negative connotation with some folks. The word is often associated with Christians, who may or may not be imbibing the true spirit of Christ.

Others, even many within the Christian church, get evangelism and proselytizing mixed up.

They don’t want to be too pushy in sharing their faith, so they don’t share it at all. They don’t like people who try to forcefully manipulate them to believe in Christ the way a pushy salesman tries to make a sale. And they don’t want to be that person.

There’s a huge need within the Christian church as a whole to return to the original meaning of the word evangelism.

In this week’s episode we’re going to talk about

• What true evangelism today is
• Why it’s so important for you to participate in it
• The example Jesus gives on how to share your faith

I’m putting together a special program called Guilt Free Faith. So many people I talk to are walking around with guilt and shame they don’t need to hold onto. They deserve to let go of this burden of guilt and live their lives in freedom.

It’s going to be a small group program. I’ll be running it over the next few weeks and it's starting soon. If you’d like more information, contact me and I’ll send you all the details.
