Become New with John Ortberg
31. Becoming a Person of Blessing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The opposite of condemnation isn’t just restraint...it’s blessing.
In this episode, John Ortberg explores how Jesus calls us to become people who actively bless others — even those who curse us. Drawing from Scripture and insights from The Blessing by Gary Smalley and John Trent, John walks through five powerful ways to bless others: meaningful words, honoring value, appropriate touch, envisioning a future, and showing up with presence.
Blessing doesn’t just change others — it changes us.
Because when we bless, we live the life Jesus envisioned.
There is now… therefore… no condemnation.
