A couple of listener questions around forgiveness serve as the focus of this episode. I’m joined once again by Jon D. Burgess, filling in while Terey continues to grieve the loss of her husband.

The Lord’s Prayer: Matthew 6

Our Father in heaven,    may your name be revered as holy.10     May your kingdom come.    May your will be done        on earth as it is in heaven.11     Give us today our daily bread.12     And forgive us our debts,        as we also have forgiven our debtors.13     And do not bring us to the time of trial,        but rescue us from the evil one. (NRSV)

Forgive and Forget: Healing the Hurts We Don’t Deserve. Lewis B. Smedes

Stages of forgiveness:

We hurt

We hate (as in our hurt turns to anger)

We heal

We come together
