Episode #22: Forgiveness & Counseling Biblically

In this episode of the Renewed Mind Podcast, Dr. Luther Smith explores the concept of forgiveness from a biblical perspective. After reviewing the previous episode's discussion on the relationship between the material and immaterial aspects of existence, he transitions into a detailed examination of forgiveness. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding forgiveness not just as a concept but as a vital aspect of emotional and spiritual well-being. In this conversation, Dr. Luther Ray Smith Jr. explores the complex nature of forgiveness, particularly distinguishing between the Greek terms charizomai and aphemi. The discussion also addresses the critical distinctions between forgiveness, trust, and justice, providing practical suggestions for counseling individuals grappling with these concepts.
