Beyond Your Failures

The World Evangelism Podcast: Love Without Borders

Do you ever feel like your past owns you? Like your mistakes follow you everywhere and define who you are? This message will change that. When God the Father looks at you, He doesn’t see your failures. He sees His child, fully forgiven and deeply loved.

Take Rahab, for example—the woman called a harlot in the Old Testament. Yet later, she’s in Jesus’ family line without mentioning her past. That shows us something amazing: God completely separates who we are from what we’ve done. Through Jesus, our past doesn’t stick to us anymore.

But God’s fatherhood goes deeper than forgiveness. Jesus said, “I call you friends because I have told you all things that I heard of my Father” (John 15:15). God wants more than just respect or obedience—He wants friendship with us. That changes how we relate to Him and to each other, especially as fathers. This message gives practical advice for dads—how to listen without rushing to fix, how to be real and vulnerable with your kids, how to make memories that matter, and how to cover their mistakes with grace, just like our Father does.

We also face the lie that God is harsh or distant. Romans 5:20 reminds us, “Where sin did abound, grace did much more abound.” No matter how far we’ve strayed, God’s love is bigger. He doesn’t give up on us. He walks beside us, gently bringing us home.

If you’re struggling with shame, wondering if you’re enough, or wanting to live out God’s love better in your family, this message is for you. It’s about finding freedom in how the Father really sees you.
