E. 45 Detours in Repentance, Ch. 13.2 DGF

Jesus Christ IS the change agent! Today, Ryan and Gary discuss part 2 of Chapter 13 in The Divine Gift of Forgiveness book by Elder Neil L. Andersen. They discuss 2 common detours (myths) that we take in our journey of repentance; Detour #1 Repentance is the punishment of sin and Detour #2 Repentance alone saves us. Anytime we do anything that minimizes the role of Jesus Christ, we are on a detour. We hope you enjoy this episode and share it with others. Jesus Christ is THE WAY!

E. 44 Repentance starts with finding your deep love of God, Ch. 14 DGF

What is the hardest part of repentance? There are many answers but perhaps one answer is that the hardest part of repentance is not asking God to forgive us but accepting that He has already done so. Today we are joined by Jordan Oldham as we discuss repentance and how repentance is another term for love. In this episode we focus on Chapter 14 from The Divine Gift of Forgiveness book by Elder Neil Andersen of the Quorum of the 12. Repentance starts with finding your deep love of God and we invite you to listen to this episode, share it with others, and start with your deep love of your Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ.

E. 43 Repentance is not a checklist, it is a surrender DGF Ch. 13

How do we avoid treating repentance like a checklist? Is repentance just stopping the wrong behavior? Today on The Divine Gift, Ryan and Gary are joined by Cloe Anderson, a student at Utah Valley University as they discuss Chapter 13 in The Divine Gift of Forgiveness. Cloe shares, "where you turn for comfort in crisis becomes your Christ." We hope this Christ centered, relationship based repentance focus can help you draw closer to our Savior, Jesus the Christ.

E. 42 Overcoming the bully of Pride DGF 12.2

Ryan and Gary are joined by Leah Little, as they discuss pride and how it acts as a bully in our lives. Elder Andersen in Chapter 12 of The Divine Gift of Forgiveness teaches that pride describes a swollen sense of self and a diminished view of God. Pride moves us away from the two great commandments. "Pride is your greatest enemy. Humility is your greatest friend." We hope this episode will help you in turning to Jesus Christ to overcome the bully of pride that we so often wrestle with.

E. 41 Overcoming the bully of Fear DGF 12.1

Our guest, Brinley Arnold, shares her perspective as a young adult and how the Savior has helped her overcome fear. Fear can be a major barrier in our relationship with God, Jesus Christ and in our repentance. We hope this episode provides tools and help in hushing your fears and casting out fear with love. 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear."
