About The Podcast
It’s the season of gift-giving, and in this week’s podcast Ricky Smith, lead pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia, talks with Nate Dewberry about the most important gift any of us have ever received: God’s love, expressed through His son Jesus. Many times we might not consider ourselves worthy of that gift; other times we might not think about it at all. But God sending His son to die for us is a clear indicator both of how much He loves us, and of how much He’s willing to forgive.

So how do we break down that resistance and embrace obedience to God? And how can we build in ourselves a desire to heed God’s word, rather than just doing so out of grudging obligation?
Forgiveness Is Messy…but It’s Worth It
Micah Davis has more experience with forgiveness than he probably ever wanted to have. The hurtful words spoken over him as a child that stuck with him throughout adolescence, the betrayals by both his father and his godfather, the family secrets that only came to light years later—all of them forced Micah to confront emotional pain at a relatively early age and weigh the cost of reconciliation.
From ESPN to a Leap of Faith
For 17 years Jason Romano had what many American men would consider a dream job: working at ESPN producing shows ranging from College Gameday to Monday Night Football broadcasts. So why did he leave it behind to make less money at a startup podcast? For Jason, it was simple: he realized he was drawing too much of his identity from work and not enough from Christ.
