God’s mercy isn’t weakness—and it isn’t permission.It’s power.
In this Night Watch episode, we confront one of the most common spiritual traps: shrinking God’s mercy until it can’t actually heal us. Shame, despair, and lingering guilt after forgiven sin aren’t signs of humility—they’re often the enemy’s favorite tactic.
Drawing from Scripture and Ignatian spiritual insight, this episode clarifies what mercy really is, where justice fits, and why the Cross is the center of both. God doesn’t lower the truth to save us. He restores us without rewriting it—and He asks us to accept that mercy, not resist it.
A slower, reflective Night Watch for anyone struggling to believe that forgiveness truly takes effect.
