143 | What Is Mercy, and How Do I Show It?
from Belay Church Podcast
In this powerful message, Pastor Paul Durbin unpacks one of the most underrated gifts we can give in relationships: mercy. Using a birthday-ticket story that turned into an unexpected encounter with grace, Paul guides Belay’ers through a biblical lens of undeserved kindness. Mercy isn't earned or deserved—and yet it's what God extends toward every single one of us through Jesus. This teaching looks at how we can reflect that same mercy in our closest relationships, even when it's hard. Through Scripture, real-life honesty, and a quadrant model, we learn to avoid manipulation, punishment, and bribery—and instead become people defined by compassion. Mercy changes everything.
