Real Talk About Forgiving Others

October 22, 2024 • Jody Gras & Shawna Beyer

In this episode of Real Sisters Real Talk Jody & Shawna talk about the importance of extending forgiveness to others. They discuss how God commands us to forgive as He has forgiven us, and how choosing not to forgive impacts our relationship with God as well as the offender. The sisters emphasize that forgiveness does not mean giving the person who hurt us access to do it again, but rather choosing to relinquish any right we have to retaliate and entrusting them into God's hands. They share personal stories and practical advice on how to extend forgiveness, even when it's difficult. This episode will help you understand the power of forgiveness and how it can transform your life and relationships.
