Walking with the Savior - Testimonies of Jesus Christ in Christian Lives

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Walking With the Savior, the John Kirkman interviews author and leadership consultant Roger Connors about his book Healing the Wounded Heart: Forgiving One Another Through the Enabling Power of Jesus Christ. Connors explains a key misconception: divine forgiveness is conditional on repentance, while brotherly forgiveness is unconditional, and confusing the two leads people to wait for apologies or restitution.He discusses why the our savior commands forgiving all, how trusting Christ as the perfect judge helps release the burden of resentment, and why forgiveness is a process that can come in a decisive moment through the Savior’s power.The conversation explores reconciliation as the ultimate goal, the mental and physical costs of unforgiveness, developing a forgiving nature, forgiving oneself, and becoming a peacemaker.Roger Connors book is available for preorder now with the book releasing July 1 on Amazon.Link to order below:https://a.co/d/0j8i5WX0Learn more about Cedar Fort Publishing:https://www.cedarfort.com/Visit Our Website: https://walkingwiththesavior.com/episodes/Listen to us on your favorite platform:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414656Donations gladly accepted:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/WalkingwiththeSavior?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USEmail John: [email protected]:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:57 Roger Connors Background02:05 Why Write This Book03:46 Two Types of Forgiveness05:26 Why Forgiveness Matters07:37 How to Actually Forgive08:37 Trusting Christs Atonement12:44 Reconciliation and Healing15:52 Stories of Forgiveness Moments21:41 Rest and the Pickleball Reset24:51 Forgiveness Research and Empathy27:27 Mental Health Models28:54 Bitterness Hurts Health30:12 The 25 Pound Metaphor32:04 Marriage Forgiveness Exercise35:17 Pickleball Grudge Lesson37:01 Building A Forgiving Nature39:51 Revenge Versus Vengeance41:07 Choosing Not To Offend45:07 Decision To Forgive47:02 Forgiveness Is A Process48:39 Forgiving Yourself Too50:20 Peacemakers In Families53:32 Proof You Truly Forgave55:23 Book Release And Farewell#WalkingWithTheSavior #JohnKirkman #RogerConnors #HealingTheWoundedHeart #Forgiveness #JesusChrist #ChristianPodcast #FaithInChrist #ChristianLiving #HealingTheHeart #ForgiveOneAnother #EnablingPowerOfJesusChrist #Reconciliation #Peacemaker #OvercomingResentment #ChristianAuthor #SpiritualGrowth #SelfForgiveness #ChristianLeadership #GospelPrinciplesSupport the show

In this powerful episode of the Walking with the Savior podcast, host John Merrill Kirkman sits down with Denny Winebaugh, author of Outlaw to Salvation, to discuss a life transformed by the radical grace of Jesus Christ. Denny shares his raw journey from the streets and prison cells to a life of ministry and total surrender.Denny opens up about his childhood, growing up in the shadow of a father involved in one of the largest police scandals in Los Angeles history. Taught from the age of five that violence was the only solution, Denny spent his youth rebelling against authority and cycling through maximum-security juvenile facilities. It was in one of these dark places that he first encountered the light of Christ through a group of college volunteers, but as Denny explains, finding Jesus and truly following Him are two very different things.The heart of this conversation explores the concept of surrender. Denny describes how a terrifying diagnosis of bladder cancer only a year ago became the ultimate turning point in his faith. Through a vulnerable moment of prayer and anger in the shower, he moved into a state of total peace, realizing that his life was finally out of his own hands and safely in God's.

Send us Fan MailAre you going to church or are you going to worship? In this episode of Walking with the Savior, host John Merrill Kirkman sits down with author John Bushman to explore the heart of his powerful new book, King Before Kingdom. Discover how to shift your spiritual focus from the institution of the church to a deep, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. 🌟This conversation dives into the concept of churchianity versus true Christianity. John Bushman explains that while the church and its teachings are essential tools, they are not the end goal. We often focus on being converted to an organization or a set of rules, but the scriptures invite us to be converted to the Lord Himself. 📖We explore the vital difference between simply having a testimony and being a witness who actively praises God’s goodness. John shares insights into the Hebrew concept of yada, which describes an intimate relationship with God rather than just knowing facts about Him. You will also hear about the power of surrender and how daily taking up your cross means letting Christ take the lead in your life. Whether you are feeling burnt out by religious routine or looking to rekindle your fire for the Savior, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to truly walk with Him. 🕊️Follow John Bushman:https://linktr.ee/johnbushmanCheck out his book King Over Kingdom:https://www.amazon.com/King-Before-Kingdom-John-Bushman/dp/1462150942/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2SQN8O13KCC9G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.671-d9BUp81ZvZkPRJZdVg.nDVRGpGcCxj8s8TUQlRym0QyI9Ag4VrJJFf1AprKpCg&dib_tag=se&keywords=king+before+kingdom+book+bushman&qid=1772597137&sprefix=%2Caps%2C219&sr=8-1Visit Our Website: https://walkingwiththesavior.com/episodes/Listen to us on your favorite platform:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414656 Donations gladly accepted:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/WalkingwiththeSavior?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Email John: [email protected]:00 Intro and Welcome2:45 The Origin of King Before Kingdom5:30 Christianity vs Churchianity9:15 Converted to the Lord vs the Church13:00 The Power is in Jesus Christ16:45 Baptism Qualifications and True Conversion21:20 The Meaning of Surrendering to Jesus25:10 Moving Beyond a Basic Testimony29:30 Building a Relationship with God33:15 The Story of Brigham Young and Offense36:40 The Power of Praise in Prayer38:36 Video EndIf this message touched your heart, please subscribe to the channel and share this video with someone who needs to hear it.

He connects Joseph’s story to a recent interview with CS Wilson, who was falsely accused and imprisoned for 17 years, and invites listeners to hear that “modern-day Joseph” episode. The principles include: God’s presence even when life feels unfair, choosing integrity over comfort, delays as preparation, gifts making room for opportunity, betrayal becoming purpose, trials developing leadership before titles, and adversity refining faith rather than ruining it.
