Forgiveness is a central concept of the Gospel. Knowing whether or not you’ve been forgiven by God is one of the most important questions that must be answered in your entire life! So what does it mean that we are forgiven by God? And how do we forgive others as we have been forgiven (Eph 4:32)?
Unfortunately, many of us have been taught an unbiblical therapeutic model of forgiveness. Where did the idea that forgiveness is mainly something you do for your own benefit come from? We can assure you that it did not come from Scripture, and it does not model in any way God’s amazing, beautiful, life-changing forgiveness for His children! It’s paramount that we get forgiveness right, so let’s look at what Scripture has to say to us about it.

I enjoy listening to you ladies. In each episode I learn something new. If I could make one suggestion it would be to skip right to the topic. For this episode, for example…it should start at the 12 minute mark.
This has come up before and they said they are unapologetically not changing it because they are there for the fans that love it and don’t care what others think
I love this episode! This is my second time listening. I’ve never learned properly about biblical forgiveness, and this is so freeing! I ordered the book mentioned as well.
What song is playing at the end?
What! I love their long intro. I love listening to these best friends and sisters in Christ laugh and giggle and share their lives.
NEVER CHANGE.
Please don’t skip to the topic! I so much love getting to know who you are; Joy and Summer you are such lovely women and thank you for sharing yourselves with the world.
Great commentary but I can’t agree on their differentiation between biblical forgiveness and therapeutic forgiveness. It is good for our souls to walk with an attitude of forgiveness whether the offender has apologised or not. Christ’s teachings are a recipe for happiness so even unbelievers can apply them, in this case the commandment to forgive, and feel its benefits.
Who is the artist for the out-tro song? I know he was mentioned by name within the last couple of podcasts, but I can’t find it.
Wondering the same thing! I want to look up that song.
What is the name of the book that she recommends???? The one on forgiveness…..I’ve listened to this podcast 3 times and every time when it gets to that part, I’m unable to write down! Plz help me out!
I would like to know too. Thank you 😊
Brian Sauvé, Psalm 100
God forgave us before we were repentant, before we knew our sin was sin. Jesus asks us to humbly do the same.
