More Mercy on healing division.

In this episode of MoreMercy, a bonus episode of the MercyCast, I share a story that’s stuck with me—a visit to a centuries-old castle in Scotland, where I met a man named Sir Jack, a former member of Parliament. What started as a simple conversation turned into something deeper. As we talked, we found ourselves exploring themes of human vulnerability, social division, and the growing polarization that’s so evident in politics and life today.

But here's the thing—I believe mercy has something powerful to say in the face of all this division.

Throughout our conversation, I kept thinking about how mercy isn’t just a nice idea. It’s a radical, counter-cultural force that pushes back against judgment and hostility. Drawing from Scripture—Micah, Matthew, James, Romans, and Colossians—I reflect on how God calls us to compassion, to forgiveness, and to the kind of love that doesn’t keep score.

This episode is about more than politics or polite conversation. It’s about what happens when we allow mercy to shape how we see others—and ourselves. I truly believe that embracing mercy can transform individual lives and even begin to heal some of the fractures in our society.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
