Title: Fixing Our Mistakes
Speaker: Pastor Chris Jose
Date: 23rd November 2025
Location: Melbourne, Australia

Summary:

"I don't think I should have been in there. I think I should have known better." That thought, borrowed from a tough work meeting years ago, sits at the centre of this episode about mistakes big and small.

It starts with a home repair gone wrong: a simple job replacing garage door rollers that ends with a snapped cable and a scramble to fix the damage. From there the episode builds out four ways we relate to mistakes in life: avoiding them, making them, fixing them, and learning from them, plus a fifth option (ignoring them) that never actually works.

Drawing on Deuteronomy, Matthew, Colossians, the Psalms and 1 John, the episode looks at why self-awareness and clear goals help us avoid unnecessary failure, and why the mistakes that matter most (the ones scripture calls sin) need honest acknowledgement rather than denial. It closes with a reminder that forgiveness is real and available, without ever being an excuse to stop trying.

Key Points:
Mistakes generally fall into four categories: avoiding, making, fixing and learning from them, and ignoring a mistake is never a good fifth option.
Having a clear goal and a dose of self-awareness (Psalm 131 and Psalm 39) helps prevent unnecessary failure before it happens.
Confessing a mistake honestly, rather than denying it, opens the door to genuine forgiveness (1 John 1:8-2:2).
Jesus is described as an advocate and atonement for sin, meaning forgiveness is available, but it is never a licence to sin on purpose.

Reference Scriptures:
Deuteronomy 30:15-20
Matthew 7:7-14
Colossians 3:12-17
Psalm 131:1-2
Psalm 39:4
1 John 1:8-2:2
1 John 2:15
