Forgiving What We Can't Forget Part 2: The What of Forgiveness

We live in a cultural moment that hungers for justice and struggles with forgiveness. In recent years, voices from the #MeToo movement and other abuse survivors have raised poignant questions: Does forgiveness only perpetuate harm? Is it just a way to silence victims? Does it minimize justice? These are real concerns—and show how forgiveness is often misunderstood, misapplied, and even weaponized. Yet, in the parable of the unforgiving servant, we see that forgiveness does not abandon justice or enable abuse. Join us this Sunday as we look at the nuts and bolts of forgiveness and understand how forgiveness is a friend of justice.
