Forgiveness, Reconciliation & the Enabling Power of Jesus Christ (Feat. Roger Connors) - EP 126

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Walking With the Savior, the John Kirkman interviews author and leadership consultant Roger Connors about his book Healing the Wounded Heart: Forgiving One Another Through the Enabling Power of Jesus Christ. Connors explains a key misconception: divine forgiveness is conditional on repentance, while brotherly forgiveness is unconditional, and confusing the two leads people to wait for apologies or restitution.He discusses why the our savior commands forgiving all, how trusting Christ as the perfect judge helps release the burden of resentment, and why forgiveness is a process that can come in a decisive moment through the Savior’s power.The conversation explores reconciliation as the ultimate goal, the mental and physical costs of unforgiveness, developing a forgiving nature, forgiving oneself, and becoming a peacemaker.Roger Connors book is available for preorder now with the book releasing July 1 on Amazon.Link to order below:https://a.co/d/0j8i5WX0Learn more about Cedar Fort Publishing:https://www.cedarfort.com/Visit Our Website: https://walkingwiththesavior.com/episodes/Listen to us on your favorite platform:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2414656Donations gladly accepted:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/WalkingwiththeSavior?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USEmail John: [email protected]:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:57 Roger Connors Background02:05 Why Write This Book03:46 Two Types of Forgiveness05:26 Why Forgiveness Matters07:37 How to Actually Forgive08:37 Trusting Christs Atonement12:44 Reconciliation and Healing15:52 Stories of Forgiveness Moments21:41 Rest and the Pickleball Reset24:51 Forgiveness Research and Empathy27:27 Mental Health Models28:54 Bitterness Hurts Health30:12 The 25 Pound Metaphor32:04 Marriage Forgiveness Exercise35:17 Pickleball Grudge Lesson37:01 Building A Forgiving Nature39:51 Revenge Versus Vengeance41:07 Choosing Not To Offend45:07 Decision To Forgive47:02 Forgiveness Is A Process48:39 Forgiving Yourself Too50:20 Peacemakers In Families53:32 Proof You Truly Forgave55:23 Book Release And Farewell#WalkingWithTheSavior #JohnKirkman #RogerConnors #HealingTheWoundedHeart #Forgiveness #JesusChrist #ChristianPodcast #FaithInChrist #ChristianLiving #HealingTheHeart #ForgiveOneAnother #EnablingPowerOfJesusChrist #Reconciliation #Peacemaker #OvercomingResentment #ChristianAuthor #SpiritualGrowth #SelfForgiveness #ChristianLeadership #GospelPrinciplesSupport the show
