Every Christian knows that forgiveness is central to salvation and restoration to God. But what does forgiveness look like between us and those who have hurt us?

Our guests today are Bruce and Toni Hebel, founders of Forgiving Forward, a ministry that helps people experience the freedom of the gospel through the power of forgiveness. They share their own journey of learning the hard way how vital forgiveness is to personal character and health, as well as effective ministry to others. 

In our conversation, Bruce and Toni define forgiveness, explain why Christ is the only one who can pay the full debt of sin and wounds, expose the roots of unforgiveness, the common obstacles to forgiveness, and ultimately how to forgive in real-life situations of betrayal and pain through 5 key protocols:

1. GRATITUDE for God’s forgiveness of me.
2. REPENT of my sin of unforgiveness.
3.  WHO do I forgive and for WHAT?
4. FORGIVE each offense from my HEART.
5. Ask God to BLESS them and look for ways to bless them when possible.
