Forgiving Someone Who Doesn’t Deserve It | Episode 26

Forgiveness is by definition undeserved. If someone deserved it, releasing them would be justice, not mercy. So the real question was never "do they deserve it." It's whether you're required to absorb the cost of what they did to you. In episode 26 of The Analog Gospel, Pastor Jason Parrish, Pastor Howie Smith, and John Rowa work through what forgiveness actually is and what it absolutely is not. The conditional versus unconditional debate. Why "forgive and forget" is a misnomer that perpetrators love to weaponize. Why forgiveness and reconciliation are two different transactions. And two litmus tests that will tell you in about four seconds whether you've actually forgiven someone. — Text THE WELL to 55498 for more info and the Weekly Growth Guide that includes the latest sermon, podcast episode, daily Bible reading, and more.
