  • What if God is the Defendant in Your Trial? (pt 2)

    What if God is the Defendant in Your Trial? (pt 2)
    Jul 3 2022
    Today, Dr Bill looks at the very common experience among Christians, and certainly Biblical characters where it appears that God is not only the judge, but the Defendant as well. Is this legit? Are you going to hell for even thinking about it? Or is this a common experience among believers and a privilege that Jesus purchased.

    Also note that the Forgiving Path Podcast is going to take a hiatus for a time. We are encouraging all of you to switch over to the Gospel Rant. Dr. Bill is taking the audience through a provocative and biblical journey through the Sermon on the Mount. You won't regret it. Dr. Bill often picks up the theme of forgiveness in the Gospel Rant.

    Why the hiatus? Dr. Bill is launching a new podcast for Christian parents called "Good Enough Parent." It is scheduled to launch at the end of July. We are also launching a new on-line gospel immersion experience called Good Enough Parent targeting parents of teens and tweens. Participants will get interesting and helpful videos (10-15 minutes long) for 15 days. All at no charge. We just want to help.

    Testimony of Apartheid (Pt 2)
    Jun 7 2022
    We just went through three podcasts on the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). For the next two podcasts Dr. Senyard will interview Tshepo Mutloatse--a black man who was there. He lived in Soweto Township and can remember as a teenager seeing dead bodies in his front yard. Tshepo will be sharing his memories on what it was like in South Africa before and after the TRC. Fascinating. Don't miss it.

  • The Sermon on the Mount Versus Apartheid (pt. 4)

    The Sermon on the Mount Versus Apartheid (pt. 4)
    May 24 2022
    Welcome to the Forgiving Path Podcast. Dr Bill Senyard created the on-line gospel journey The Forgiving Path (www.forgivingpath.com) in 2009. Since that time over 1000 Christians have brought their hurts, wounds, betrayals, disempowerments and abuses to the Path to get some relief. The results are surprising.
    21.0% Decrease in my desire to avoid the person who hurt me
    38.2% Increase in my empathy and benevolence toward the person
    who hurt me
    20.1% Decrease in my desire for revenge
    77.8% Increase in my experience of justice

    These are remarkable results. The Gospel applied to our real lives can make a noticeable difference. Through dialogue, interviews and testimonies, the FP podcast highlights more and more what Biblical forgiveness can be. Enjoy.

    In this four part series we look at the almost 30 year old effort of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Has it accomplished what it had hoped? What can we Christians do now? How does the Sermon on the Mount strategically inform our next steps?
