Have you ever dealt with resentment?

They define resentment as a mix of anger, bitterness, and disappointment often resulting from being wronged. The hosts emphasize the need to understand the root causes of resentment, often involving situations of betrayal or hurt, and highlight the importance of forgiveness as a means to overcome it. They suggest that releasing resentment not only involves spiritual practices and alignment with faith but also letting go of a self-centered mindset in favor of a Christ-centered one. They argue that resentment can be a tool of the enemy, keeping people trapped in victimization.

God
Out

The discussion also touches on societal perceptions of success and fulfillment, contrasting them with spiritual teachings and the transformative power of accepting Jesus.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. ~ Carl Jung

It's time to operate from a place of Love. Wouldn't you want to live in a place where you are speaking and acting FROM love instead of always NEEDING love?

Justin and Don explore the importance of the heart as the center of thoughts, actions, and emotions, and its role in spiritual and physical well-being. The conversation touches on the significance of love, and the transformational power of Jesus Christ. The parallel is made between God being a God of love and Him wanting to create us in his own image: to be Love. They emphasize the necessity of a heart transplant, not just physically but spiritually, to fully embrace love and God’s mercy and grace. The hosts also talk about overcoming past traumas and barriers to genuinely express and act from Love.
