If you know someone who is not changing, do not despair. There is a way to help them. I'm not suggesting they will change even if you did everything perfectly, but there is a process for transformation that every Christian should know. I will break down those dynamics of change for you—the essential elements to lead someone into Christlike transformation. I hope the Lord will use these thoughts as you serve those you love so well.

Ep. 478 What to Do After Two People Forgive Each Other

How Has THAT Been Working For You?

The modeling of Christ and practicing repentance in your home are at the top of the list of what you both should be doing in your family relationships. Suppose you are not imitating Christ or repenting of sins. In that case, your marriage can only limp along, with a Band-Aid approach while accelerating the accumulative frustration that leftover, hungover sinning does until death disrupts your one-flesh union. There is no way to circumvent the hard and humble way of going to your spouse, confessing your sin, asking for forgiveness, and encouraging your spouse to have a similar kind of humility that forgiveness granting exemplifies to the offender.

Day 12 Marriage Devotion: The Most Effective Thing You Can Do

Too many people confuse repentance with just feeling bad or saying sorry. But real repentance goes far deeper—and without action, your words mean nothing. In this must-hear episode, we break down what biblical repentance really is, what it’s not, and why asking for forgiveness is worthless if your life doesn’t change.

We also answer a critical listener question:
👉 If salvation is a free gift, is it still conditional?
👉 Do works cancel out grace? Or are they part of how we live out our faith?

🔥 This is one of the most important messages for every believer today. Don’t just watch—share this with friends and family who need to hear the truth about repentance and salvation. Let’s stop playing church and start living transformed lives.
