To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
This week I’m joined byMicah E. Davis,pastor, author, and founder ofThe Sanctuaryin Indianapolis – a church devoted to being a haven for broken people, a place where the way of Jesus is lived out in community, and a light that permeates the world.
Micah’s journey has not been without deep pain, and out of that pain has come a powerful message of forgiveness, restoration, and hope. His book,Trailblazers: A Journey to Discover God’s Purpose for Your Life, reflects his passion for guiding others toward healing and transformation.
In our conversation, Micah opens up about the hard but necessary work of forgiveness and how it can radically reshape our lives. We talk about:
Why forgiveness is not easy – and certainly not natural
The four acts that are essential to the forgiveness journey
How to move forward when pain feels impossible to release
Why forgiveness is not a formula, but a crucible of transformation
The importance of community in restoring fellowship with God and others
What it truly means to forgive ourselves and find mercy in Christ
Micah reminds us that forgiveness is at the very heart of the Gospel. It is not weakness, but strength; not forgetting, but releasing; not optional, but essential to living in the fullness of God’s love.
This is a conversation that will encourage, challenge, and inspire you to take steps toward freedom in Christ through the power of forgiveness.

Meet Jamie Walden, of Omega Dynamics. Imbued with matchless passion for all things “adventurous” and “fun”, Jamie’s teen years were filled with significant tumult (injuries, arrests, and choices of near life-long consequence). However, amid the rebellion and ruckus, Jamie continually endeavored to one day earn the title, “U.S. Marine”. After being nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on Defense, Intelligence, and Diplomacy in Washington, D.C., where he subsequently secured a nomination to the US Naval Academy, Jamie made the determination to simply enlist in the Marine Corps Infantry and achieve his childhood dream.
After leaving the Marines Corps, Jamie obtained a double major B.S. in Law Enforcement and History. Pursuing a career in Federal Law Enforcement, Jamie was selected as an Intern for the United States Marshals Service, and subsequent recruitment to a “Three Letter” agency. It was then, when Jamie received “the call”, that the Lord began testing and affirming the genuineness of his faith.
After again returning to Iraq in 2014 to serve the Christians suffering under the savage campaign of ISIS, Jamie and his wife Virginia were compelled to surrender their paradigm and follow the Lord into full-time ministry.
“The Mission of Omega Dynamics is this: to teach, train and equip “Those with ears to hear” to stand anew in their rightful place as more than conquerors in a kingdom that cannot be shaken…this generation is literally, eternally dying for us to”
