Forgivin' Livin' Daily Podcast
Our podcasts are 5-8 minutes in length. We create these messages using one or two brief verses from the Bible that come from a devotional book. Our purpose is to help you hear the grace of Jesus in these verses so that your life may find its grounding in Christ alone. It is this grounding in grace that makes forgivin’ livin’ your way of freedom.

00Living All In With Jesus (Eccl 9:10; Colossians 3:17) (Discipleship)
Today’s verses describe the zeal of an English King who had to overcome huge obstacles to defeat the Vikings as they raided England. His life was shaped by prayer. Every day in his desolation he called on the Lord reciting Psalms to give him the might for battle which no leader in England could muster against this powerful enemy attacking its shores and creating terrible devastation. “From the fury of the Norsemen, dear Lord deliver us” became part of the daily prayer life of the English. But Alfred has success where it seemed impossible. He broke down their defenses and laid siege to their strongholds. Finally the Viking leader Guthrum surrendered. And instead of killing him, Alfred led him to faith in Christ and was his sponsor for his baptism. Alfred is the only English king to be identified as GREAT. And what made him great was the great God who kept helping and directing. We also have this great God ready to help us in any battle we must fight. Just remember that whatever you do, do it in the name of of the Lord Jesus your Savior.

00(Prayer League) The Mystery Of Christ In Us (Daniel 2:28; Colossians 1:27) (Justification)
If Popeye (pictured above) had been a Jew living in Colossae at the time St Paul was preaching this message, he would have wanted to fight. It was unthinkable that God would want to dwell in a person. But if that were possible, then certainly not a person who was imperfect. Gentiles are imperfect people. Unless they became Jews they could never be good enough for God. God would have to be crazy to dwell in them. But that is the mystery that today’s texts reveal. The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, chooses with whom He will dwell. And this God has chosen you. This God has chosen me. And that is the mystery of being saved that God chooses imperfect people as His dwelling place. This is the good news. We don’t have to clean up our act for God to be in us. When God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit choose us for their home, they make us clean. We do nothing. God does everything. So you and I should stop fighting God’s will. Just trust His decision to dwell in you. One day, God will tell you more. But until then rest in God. He is God after all. It is His glory that He chose to live in you.

00(Carmelcast) Commanded To Love As We Are Loved (Numbers 23:12; John 13:34) (Love)
The “Forgivin Livin” podcast pictured above will give you more insights into how to understand the connection between love and absolution. When Jesus absolves us, it is because He loves us. When we absolve someone, it is because we have been absolved by our Lord. In Luke 8:47, Jesus connects forgiveness and love. It is the story of the woman in this passage. All of us who know ourselves to be absolved much by Jesus will absolve others. Our cup will overflow (Psalm 23:5). Mount Carmel also is overflowing with love for all of you who have not been there in the past five years. You get to experience this space of grace for free. The website for more information is www.MountCarmelMinistries.com. For the podcast in the photo, here is the link. https://groundupgrace.com/blog/posts/7 It is on the “Forgivin Livin” page of the Ground Up Grace website.

00(Irishcast) Delivered From The Pit To Life (Jonah 2v6; Acts 9v34) (Salvation)
Corrie Ten Boom survived the Nazi concentration camps in WW 2 and spent the next 33 years of her life telling this message to millions. Her sister Bessie died in the camp and encouraged Corrie to bring her witness of how God works in our dark times. Jonah knew the same reality as Corrie. Anyone who has experienced the desolation of being in a pit so deep you cannot save yourself knows the power of being rescued and you can’t help but bring this message of hope to the world around you. Don’t be afraid of the pits that will come into your life because you follow Jesus. He is your Risen Savior who works all your pits for good.

00(Sundaycast) A Living Faith (Psalm 22:10; 2 Timothy 1:5) (Faith)
Martin Luther knows that faith is a living reality in us. He wrote these words in this picture in his “Preface to the Book of Romans.” St Paul calls Timothy’s faith a living faith and says that the faith of his mother and grandmother was alive in them also. Is faith a living reality for you? 250 years ago many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were men who had a living faith. When we are called by God, as we know Isaiah was in Saturday’s podcast, as well as Timothy and other followers of Jesus, a living faith is the WAY! As you listen today, you will learn the story of another man whose life is being played out in the World Cup matches. He knows the path to a living faith began with his grandmother and was born in him through many challenges along his life journey. You will unlikely ever be a goal scorer in a World Cup game, but you are someone in whom the Holy Spirit can create a living faith that will make the gifts God has created in you serve God’s purpose through you while you follow Jesus wherever He leads you.
