996 | Coffee to Go | Proper 19 | Year A

How many times are we really supposed to forgive someone—seven times, seventy times seven, or until we finally get the point? In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore Jesus’ challenging—and slightly exasperated—response to Peter’s question about forgiveness in Matthew 18. Beyond counting offenses, the conversation invites us to consider how every word, choice, and interaction sends energy into our communities, either contributing to what is life-giving or what is harmful. So this week, check your vibes: What are you sending out into the world, and are you creating more space for forgiveness, connection, and goodness? Listen to more episodes in the Coffee to Go series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.
