In today’s Chesterton Radio Morning Prayer Deep Dive, we explore one of the most surprising ideas in Christianity:
Repentance is not humiliation.
It is liberation.
Why do the Psalms begin with confession?
Why does the Church start the day with repentance and praise at the same time?
And why did G.K. Chesterton believe the ability to say “I was wrong” might be the most hopeful idea in the world?
Broadcast from Chesterton Radio — a small listener-supported station in Atchison, Kansas, this discussion explores:
• the meaning of today’s Morning Prayer (Lauds)
• the emotional power of the Psalms
• the call to conversion in Ezekiel
• the hope found in the Benedictus
• and the strange Christian paradox that confession leads to joy
Because the man who admits he is wrong may be the first man who finally becomes right.
If you enjoy thoughtful discussions like this, please consider supporting Chesterton Radio, where we try to keep the lamp of wonder lit.
One story.
One prayer.
One paradox at a time.
