Father and Joe
12/03/24 • 21 min
In this episode of Father and Joe, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks dive deep into the promises of Christ and their transformative power in our lives. Reflecting on the profound truth that "heaven is being in perfect relationship with everyone," this discussion highlights the essence of God’s love, forgiveness, and constant presence in our lives.
Father Boniface eloquently reminds us:
"Jesus promises really always to forgive and to have mercy. He promises always to be with us. I will be with you always to the end of the age."The conversation centers on how Christ’s promises are eternal truths designed to guide us, console us, and draw us closer to Him. Yet, as Joe notes, it’s often our own trust issues or subconscious fears that block us from fully receiving God’s grace:
"It’s not God letting us down; it’s our own hesitations and resistance that keep us from trusting in His promises."Through heartfelt reflections and relatable examples, this episode delves into:
- The universal need for relationships and how they mirror our connection with God.
- Overcoming subconscious fears of being unworthy of love or mercy.
- Healing wounds of trust to build a deeper relationship with Christ.
- The significance of seeing ourselves as gifts to God and others.
- Practical steps to grow in trust, openness, and relationship with God.
Father Boniface beautifully explains that:
"Jesus really does love us. He wants to lead us to green pastures, rescue us, stand up for us, and bring good things into our lives."Joe emphasizes the importance of conscious effort in growing trust and relationships, stating:
"We naturally create big moments in our minds, but every one of these is an opportunity to grow in trust and love with God and others."This episode offers powerful insights into how trusting in God’s promises can improve not only our faith life but also our relationships with others. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or simply seeking a deeper connection with God, this conversation will inspire you to open your heart to His grace and promises.
