Forgiveness stands as one of Christianity's greatest challenges, yet it remains non-negotiable for believers seeking spiritual maturity and peace. Unforgiveness pollutes our spirit and damages relationships, while forgiveness sets us free from the prison of resentment.
When someone hurts us, our natural response is to protect ourselves, seek justice, or even harbor resentment. These emotional reactions create barriers to the healing power of forgiveness. In this vulnerable conversation, Mike shares his painful experience with childhood bullying and the decades of anger that followed, while Luisa discusses a five-year estrangement from her sister that resulted from unforgiveness.
Together, they explore seven common obstacles that make forgiveness difficult, but the heart of this episode offers a practical seven-step process for biblical forgiveness. This framework acknowledges that forgiveness is a process rather than a one-time decision.
Remember—when Jesus taught us to pray, He included this sobering condition: "If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Are you ready to begin your journey toward freedom through forgiveness?
