CHRISTIANITY WITH AN EDGE-WITH SCOTT E. ROKELY

God wants Mercy to be in constant circulation. He constantly showers mercy on us and to keep it going, all we have to do is give just a little Mercy away to someone else, who may or may not deserve it. I discuss how to become more merciful.

Mercy is foundationaI to Christianity. I discuss the first 2 of 14 ways to give Mercy to other people. Mercy is NOT getting what you deserve. Mercy is getting what you DO NOT deserve.

American pop culture absolutely rejects this whole idea of repentance. The American Christian Church rarely talks about it. Jesus says Heaven is at hand, but nobody can get there unless they repent. Exactly what is repentance? It's not what you might think it is.

For years doctors told my wife Patty, "there is nothing wrong with you, you need to see a counselor." But they were all wrong. We hung in there as a couple and a wonderful healing occurred!

Just before he was dragged away and murdered, Jesus, God's Christ, uttered some words that the Christian Church still doesn't want to hear. Listen as I talk about how to see the way God sees.

In this season of Peace, I discuss how Patty, my wife, and I resolved a long standing conflict to a win-win resolution. We applied basic principles of conflict resolution that anyone can use to reduce conflict in their life. These principles will work for you!

This is the season of the birth of the "Prince of Peace" Jesus the Christ. I talk about Alfred Nobel who became a peacemaker after a lifetime dedicated to making implements of death and destruction. In his lifetime Nobel was called "The Merchant of Death." But in his death he is known as the founder of the annual Nobel Prizes, including the Nobel Peace Prize. Listen as I discuss his fascinating story, and how to be a peacemaker in this world of conflict.

What in the world did Jesus mean when he said, "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God?" I give the answer in a parable I wrote for this podcast. Be blessed!

This episode is about my lifelong battle with depression and how I finally beat it with the help of God. What helped me will probably help you too. I explain how Narcissism and Depression have a lot in common.

Why is the world so messed up? Because it is largely run by the human ego. It is easy to see the well known egotistical personalities in American pop culture. But it's not so easy to see how entrenched the ego is in all of us. I shine light on the pervasive ego and offer a way out of the insanity.
