Why is it so hard to forgive? Here's a double whammy for you: not only is forgiving hard; it is offensive. It feels so offensive to let it go when someone sins against you and they deserve payback—but instead you're supposed to love and not seek revenge. So . . . how do you forgive?

Pastor Mike and Dr. Bruce Becker from the Time of Grace team give you a sneak peek at this month's TV message series, "Forgiveness Is Offensive." They also discuss the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation (spoiler: You CAN forgive without reconciliation), why Pastor Mike thinks we struggle so much with forgiving others, and how it is incredibly arrogant to say, "I can't forgive myself."

Bonus! The guys also give you a quick glimpse at what to expect for this year's Easter message, which is unlike any other Easter message from Time of Grace!

They also discuss Dr. Becker's podcast, "Bible Threads." Just search "Bible Threads" on your favorite podcast app. "Bible Threads" will be back with a new episode on March 11!

Pastor Mike and Dr. Becker also talk about the interactive forgiveness journal, "The Impossible Made Possible," which accompanies the TV message series. Starting this coming Sunday, March 7, you can get your copy of this journal, along with a keepsake Forgiveness Stone, by visiting timeofgracestore.org.
