ASK A QUESTION - TELL A STORY - CONNECT WITH US

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Josh Hensley is joined by Steve Buttram, Michael Shearon, and special guest Keion Brown to unpack Paxton Redd’s sermon on forgiveness. The conversation opens with a fun segment called “The Scoreboard,” where the hosts confess the petty and often humorous ways people keep score in everyday life—at home, in relationships, and even in ministry. That playful start leads into a deeper reflection on one of the sermon’s central truths: forgiveness means choosing not to keep a record of wrongs. The group talks about how easily people track who did more, who apologized first, or who carried the heavier load—and how grace calls believers to lay down those invisible scorecards.

The discussion then moves into the deeper work of forgiveness, especially the important distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation. The hosts talk honestly about setting healthy boundaries, how unresolved wounds can shape our relationships, and why forgiving ourselves can sometimes be the hardest step of all. They remind listeners that forgiveness flows from receiving God’s grace first—and that lingering shame often keeps people stuck long after God has already offered freedom. It’s a thoughtful conversation about grace, healing, and learning to live in the freedom Christ provides.
