The Locker Room Ep. 83 - What's So Hard About Forgiveness? (Genesis 50) ft. Sam Sterk, Rod VanSolkema, Libby VanSolkema, Tryg Veker
We sit down with Sam Sterk (vice-chair of Crossroads Elder Board) as we dive into the often difficult topic of forgiveness, Using the powerful story in Genesis 50 as our backdrop, we look at Joseph's reconciliation with his brothers and how it offers profound insights into the challenges of forgiveness and the healing power it can bring.
But we don’t stop there. We take a step back to explore the larger meta-narrative of Scripture—the overarching story of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and New Creation. From the good world God intended in Genesis 1 to the brokenness brought by sin, and the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross, forgiveness is at the heart of God's plan for restoring all things.
Join us as we wrestle with why forgiveness is so hard, how God models it throughout Scripture, and the transformative power it holds for both individuals and communities.
