Lisa Fields sits down with author and Bible teacher Yana Conner to unpack the real work behind her new book Living Beyond Offense: Doing the Hard Work of Forgiveness God’s Way. Together they explore what biblical forgiveness actually looks like, how to confront conflict with courage, and why “protecting your peace” isn’t the whole story.
They discuss:
-
Why forgiveness is not forgetting—and the powerful concept of "faithfully casting" the debt to God.
-
The true meaning of "turn the other cheek" and how it calls for humble confrontation, not passive acceptance.
-
How to counter cultural mantras like "protect your peace" with the biblical call to be a shalom-maker.
-
The difference between biblical forgiveness (releasing the debt) and reconciliation (restoring the relationship).
