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 the month of June's TV message series, "Freedom in Forgiveness." 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."

Pastor Mike mentions this month's new resources, the "Freedom in Forgiveness" book AND journal, which invite you to take actionable steps toward healing through forgiveness. These resources were created with guided questions, learning prompts, and biblical truth to help you walk intentionally with Jesus through the process of forgiveness. Get these two new resources at timeofgrace.org with your gift to the ministry.
