Hope for Right Now: A Walking with Purpose Podcast

Episode 42: JoAnn Crouse, Part 2


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Lisa and Laura sit down to continue their conversation with their dear friend, JoAnn Crouse. (If you haven’t heard JoAnn’s incredible story, be sure to go back and listen to episode 30.) JoAnn dives deeper into her story and talks about the stuff so many of us struggle with but are too ashamed to bring to the light: things like what happens to your identity when you find yourself suddenly single and what true forgiveness requires. Time spent listening to JoAnn is never wasted time. Her open heart and vulnerability are gifts. So go on and grab a cup of coffee and settle in; you will be grateful you did.

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.

Ephesians 1:4–5: In love, (God) destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ.

Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.

Is there a person in your life you need to forgive? What measuring stick are you holding? How are you loving others well?

Four Phases of Forgiveness (for complete descriptions, see Lesson 5 in Living in the Father’s Love):

Uncovering: You face the reality that you’ve been hurt and are angry.

Decision: Will you do this your way or God’s way?
Work: Just as its name implies, this phase often requires a lot of effort. This is where we put God’s way into action.
Deepening: In this phase, we choose mercy.
