45. Why We Do Things We Regret

How does Jesus change the world? Not through force. Not through control. Not by winning arguments.It’s through the cross.In this episode, John looks at a quote from Jesus during one of his most painful moments: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” He draws people in not by power, but by self-giving love.Drawing from John 12, Luke 23, and the story of Jesus’ final hours, John shows how the cross reveals character under pressure:not retaliation, but surrendernot condemnation, but forgivenessnot control, but trustThe truth is, the cross is more than a teaching. It’s a story. Even when life gets disappointing, or people let us down, or we feel hurt beyond measure, we can choose to double down on the cross. Remember: There is now, therefore, no condemnation. 📚 Today's Resources:René Girard and James G.
