Forgiveness: Healing From the Top Down (Bonus Episode)
This listener-requested bonus episode dives deep into one of the most essential Kingdom principles Jesus gives us: the three-part, top-down order of forgiveness. Allen and Stacy Jo unpack why forgiveness begins with receiving God’s forgiveness, moves into forgiving ourselves, and finally empowers us to forgive others authentically and freely.

Through transparent conversation, biblical teaching, and Allen’s powerful testimony of reconciling with his father, this episode reveals how guilt, shame, and resentment keep us stuck — and how the Holy Spirit leads us into emotional healing, spiritual freedom, and restored relationships.

In this Episode You’ll Learn:
• The biblical mandate for forgiveness
• Why self-forgiveness is often the missing step
• How resentment “short circuits” spiritual growth
• How to identify and release emotional debt
• How to partner with Jesus for inner healing
• What authentic forgiveness looks like
• Why forgiveness leads to peace, freedom, and healthy connection

The 3-Part Forgiveness Framework:

1. Receive God’s forgiveness
2. Forgive yourself
3. Forgive others

Self-Forgiveness Questions to Reflect On:
• What is the debt I believe I can’t repay?
• What emotions surface when I face that debt?
• What does Jesus have to say about it?

Key Scriptures:
Matthew 6:12, Matthew 18, Romans 8:1, Psalm 32, Colossians 3:12–17, Isaiah 53, 1 John 1:9, John 14:6, Luke 10:19

When our hearts align with God’s heart, heaven moves on earth. In this episode, Allen and Stacy Jo unpack what biblical agreement really is (not compromise), how pride fractures unity, and why humility, truth, and love create breakthrough in marriage, leadership, and mission.

In this conversation you’ll hear:

• What “agreement” is in the Kingdom and what it is not
• Why fear and faith cannot coexist and how our words direct outcomes
• How to clarify vision so you are truly talking about the same thing
• Why offense secretly divides and how to release it quickly
• The 5-part Agreement Framework you can start using today

Key Scriptures
John 13:34–35; Isaiah 54:17; 1 Peter 5:8–10; Proverbs 18:21; James 1:8; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ecclesiastes 4:9–12; Matthew 6:9–13

5 Action Steps (Agreement Framework)

1. Pray together consistently
2. Speak the same language of faith
3. Clarify the vision in writing
4. Deal with offense quickly
5. Surround yourself with aligned people

Challenge of the Week
Pick one area of disunity (marriage, business, team, or thought life). Write it down. Ask the Holy Spirit where you are out of alignment and how to realign. Create one Speak Life declaration from Scripture and say it daily. If you are married or leading with a partner, book a short prayer-and-planning session and get on the same page.

Marriage isn’t meant to be a 50/50 survival plan—it’s a Kingdom partnership. In this episode, Allen & Stacy Jo Thorne invite you into a real and relatable conversation about what it looks like to move from coexisting to co-laboring—from living under one roof to living under one mission.

With humor, honesty, and heartfelt scripture, they unpack how to keep Christ at the center of marriage, why intentionality matters more than compatibility, and how prayer, communication, and laughter can pull you closer when life tries to pull you apart.

💬 Whether you’re newly married, decades in, or praying for that future spouse, this episode will help you:

✅ Shift from autopilot to intentional unity—because “just surviving” isn’t the goal.
✅ Recognize how small drifts lead to big distance, and how to stop it before it starts.
✅ Reignite prayer in your marriage without pressure or perfection.
✅ Balance two callings without comparison or competition.
✅ Learn to listen to understand, not just to reply (yes, even when you disagree).
✅ Bring humor back into the daily chaos—because laughter lightens the load.

📖 Scripture References

• Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 — A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
• Matthew 6:9–13 — The Lord’s Prayer as our model for unity and simplicity.
• Romans 8:6 — Life and peace come from walking in the Spirit, not the flesh.
• 1 Chronicles 4:10 — The Prayer of Jabez: “Bless me indeed and enlarge my territory.”

✨ Key Takeaways

• Unity is a daily decision, not a one-time vow.
• A strong marriage has three cords—husband, wife, and Christ.
• Prayer doesn’t have to be long to be powerful—short, simple, and sincere counts.
• Real partnership isn’t about equal visibility, but equal faithfulness.
• Humor and humility are holy tools that heal more than we realize.
