5AM with Dr. Randy Turpin

When You Make Mistakes | Ep. 44


Listen Later

What if your biggest mistake isn't the one you made—but the risk you never took?

In this episode, Dr. Randy Turpin tackles a truth many of us need to hear: people who never make mistakes are people who never accomplish anything. Drawing from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, Randy challenges the "bury it and play it safe" mentality that can keep us from stepping into God's purposes.

Whether you've made judgment calls you regret, taken risks that didn't pan out, or you're facing a decision that feels uncertain, this message offers both biblical encouragement and practical wisdom. Randy reminds us that God's compassions are new every morning, that the righteous fall seven times but rise again, and that even our missteps can be redeemed for His glory.

Featuring reflections on Peter, Moses, David, and Abraham—all flawed risk-takers whom God used powerfully—this episode will help you embrace faith-filled obedience over fear-based safety.

Perfect for anyone who needs permission to get back up, keep moving forward, and trust that God's mercy is always enough.
