6. Understanding Spiritual Amnesia

from Dr. Jim Richards · host Dr. Jim Richards

There are moments in life when fear, pressure, or uncertainty hits, and suddenly it feels like everything you know about God disappears. This is what I call spiritual amnesia. This is what happens when your emotions take over, and you forget what you know about God and what Jesus has already done for you. In those first few moments, your response can shape the outcome of what you’re facing. But here’s the good news: even if you don’t respond right away, the moment you come back to truth, everything can begin to change. In this episode we will talk about one of the biggest struggles people face is misunderstanding God’s role in their problems. As long as you believe God is behind your struggle, you won’t trust Him as your deliverer. But when you settle that in your heart, everything shifts. We’ll also talk about the difference between knowing truth and living it. The truth you hear won’t change your life; the truth you apply will. God didn’t design you to just collect information. He created you to live from your heart, where His Word becomes real and active in your life. When that happens, you stop freezing in difficult moments and start responding with confidence and authority. You were created to represent God in this world, to reflect His nature and walk in what Jesus has already provided. Take time to listen again and, more importantly, put this into practice. When you do, what once overwhelmed you will begin to lose its power. Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
