You're listening to the Jeff Kaven show episode 246 America's got 10,000 talents

Hey, I'm Jeff Kavens. How do you simplify your life? How do you study the Bible all the way from motorcycle trips to raising kids?

We're gonna talk about the faith and life in general. It's the Jeff Kaven show

Thanks for joining me today. Listen if you have been hurt wounded or emotionally bruised by someone that

that you love or an acquaintance, someone at work, or even even a stranger. You don't know what to do with it. You don't know how to get over it.

This is your show. This is your show. America's got 10,000 talents. That'll make complete sense. And by the time we get done with the show here today,

hey, if you do want show notes and today I've got some good scriptures for you, all you got to do is text my name, Jeff Kavens, one word, and

text it to the number three three seven seven seven. That's three three seven seven seven. Every week we're here, and

I should say I'm here every week and trying to

provide some things that will make your life easier as a disciple. Give you some suggestions on

how to walk and boy, I'll tell you the times they are a changing as Dylan says and a lot of people are looking for that better future and

someone to trust. And we've been talking about that for a number of weeks now. Hey, I got a lot of feedback from you about my

other show over on hello with Jonathan Rumi. It's a daily devotion I have over there. And if you're interested in that, all you got to do is go to

www.hallow.org forward slash Jeff Kavens and you get three months free. Kind of nice. And Bible in a year is really going well. And we've got some real special things coming up

related to Bible in a year. We got a big conference coming up in February. And you can find out about that at ascensionpress.com. We might even put that in the show. No, it's for you here.

So that you can get that. I'll leave that up to our wonderful, wonderful producers. Well, all of us have had some experience in being hurt,

wounded, bruised in some way. And I am part of that as well. I can look back at my life and I can see several times where, wow, I was really hurt. I was really wounded.

But for a while, I didn't even know how to deal with it. But then, you know, the word of the Lord was starting to become very clear. And I found that answer. And that answer is in forgiveness.

We're going to look at forgiveness here today. And how do you do it? And do you have to feel like you forgive in order to forgive? We'll look at that.

Jesus said in John 1633, he said, I have told you these things so that in me, you may have peace in this world. You will have trouble. But take heart. I have overcome the world. I love that. John 1633. I've always, you know, read that thinking to myself, well, he's being honest, you know, Jesus is being honest. He's he's saying in this world, you're going to have some trouble.

And he says, take courage. I have overcome the world. That idea of experiencing trouble really has to do with kind of a tearing apart in the inside. And we've all been there.

We've all run into into stumbling blocks, if you will, in our life. And it's really interesting because this word for a stumbling block is the word scandal on in Greek scandal on. And that will be in the show notes for you.
