Synopsis
We’re bringing back our Ask Us Anything series for a new year, and we kick it off with a big question: How do you find forgiveness, especially for somoene who isn’t interested in seeking it?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- why questions are vital to our faith journey and why asking them puts us in good company with Jesus
- powerful examples of forgiveness and why it's so rare in our world
- why we forgive
- the significance of the Greek word aphiemi and how this impacts our understanding of forgiveness
- why forgiveness doesn't equate to absolution, reconciliation, or healing but is an integral part of those processes
- why Jesus tells Peter to forgive seventy-seven times
- how forgiveness is ultimately an act of faith
- three steps toward forgiveness
