Episode 220 - When Mercy Redefines Your Past

Tethered Thoughts with Bosede Santos

In this gripping and grace-filled episode I explore 1 Timothy 1:12–13 and how the Apostle Paul’s painful past became the platform for his divine purpose. Once a blasphemer, persecutor, and violent man, Paul didn’t just receive forgiveness—he was entrusted with ministry. His life stands as a living testimony that no one is too far gone for God to redeem, repurpose, and release into Kingdom impact.

Through spiritual depth, rich cultural context, and the compelling real-life story of Nate Larkin—a former pastor who found healing after addiction and failure—we uncover the profound truth that mercy doesn’t just clean up your mess; it commissions you for mission. You’ll be encouraged to view your story through the lens of redemption, not regret.

Whether you're battling shame, wrestling with regret, or simply wondering if God can use someone like you, this episode will equip you to see failure not as a finish line but as a doorway to destiny. Tune in and discover the liberating truth that in God’s Kingdom, your scars can become your sermons, and your lowest moment can birth your highest calling. Come and be reminded: You are fully forgiven, deeply loved, and powerfully purposed.

Thank you for support and message :)
