As Christians we’re called to forgive one another. But does that mean we don’t recognize what others did as wrong? When do we cross a line into enabling others to continue in their sin?

Travis Thompson, drawing from his own personal addiction and recovery, helps us navigate the challenges of addiction to develop sustainable recovery strategies.

Travis is a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of To Those With Faith: Helping the Church Understand and Support Healing for Those in Addiction.

In this episode he also shares what we can learn from the life of David. There were bread crumbs of sin in David’s life that lead right up to his sin with Bathsheba.

Travis believes that the Bible is more than an instruction manual for Christian living – it’s the most applicable document to healing the soul for believers and nonbelievers alike.  

Also, Shawna shares that following Jesus is a lifestyle of one eighties. The Bible calls it “repentance.”

As a kid, before Perry gave his live over to Jesus, he was asked by a young pastor, “Perry are you saved yet?” Perry’s answer then tells us so much about the default mode of the human heart: “I’m working on it!”

Lastly, though it’s painful to have to stop and look at our sin, to name it and own it – being specific with God in confessing our sin can help us to avoid the same sin in the future. In confession we are reminded of God’s faithfulness to forgive us and cleanse us.
