Show Notes

Prominent theologian Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing joins us to discuss her new book, Forgiveness: Reclaiming its Power in a Culture of Outrage and Fear. We discuss the true, Biblical meaning of forgiveness and its relationship to justice. Is forgiveness conditional on repentance? Does forgiveness look different for those in a covenantal relationship such as marriage? How do we deal with a culture that often places the burden for forgiveness on the victim, and how do we forgive without excusing harm? We openly discuss sins plaguing the church and the impact of trauma on physical and mental health. Join us for a theological and practical discussion of a topic very relevant to our broken and pride-ridden world.
