174- Correcting Our Thinking on Forgiveness- with Dr. Bruce Hebel

Comments? Questions? Send us a message! Welcome to Podcast 174. Today I’m with Dr. Bruce Hebel, author of the incredible, life altering book Forgiving Forward: Experience the Freedom of the Gospel through the Power of Forgiveness. All close followers of Jesus Christ know that we should forgive others, but there are things about forgiveness that are about as clear as mud to us.  In this episode of SFTP, we talked with Bruce about the common misconceptions that are out there about what forgiveness really means, and how to actually do it. Among the misconceptions are the following ones: -forgiveness is not a process (it’s a decision) -to forgive someone, there’s no need to go to that person and tell him/her.  -Forgiveness is transacted with the Father. See Mark 11:25-26 -forgiveness is not the same thing as reconciliation -forgiveness is not salvific; but, forgiveness of the wounds of others determines how the Father acts toward us in this life (Matthew 6:12, 14-15) And more...
