In light of Erika Kirk’s public decision to forgive her husband's killer, we’re revisiting this foundational conversation on biblical forgiveness. Jason and Susan unpack what forgiveness is (a willful choice to release the debt) and what it isn’t(not forgetting, not a feeling, not pretending it didn’t matter). Starting with God’s heart (Ex. 34; Ps. 51; Ps. 103; Mic. 7; 1 Jn. 1:9), they explore why forgiveness is the “currency of the Kingdom,” why it’s hard, and why it’s necessary for real healing—plus a preview of Part 2 on practical steps and the difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, and restored relationship.
