The Ministry of Forgiveness with Kelly Kelly

Welcome to Episode 8 of the True Images Podcast!TRIGGER WARNING: This episode details sexual abuse and navigating a Christian response to forgiveness.This week, we are joined by guest Kelly Kelly for a courageous and timely conversation on one of the most painful realities within the Church: navigating the fallout after abuse happens in the Body of Christ. As we continue our mission to expose exploitation and uphold human dignity, we must also address the wounds caused by those in positions of trust. Kelly joins Carlie to discuss the heavy road of ministry and how a community moves forward after a leader disqualifies themselves from service.First, join John, Ivan, and Carlie for the weekly Group Chat. It's Thanksgiving in May! In the spirit of the season (when we recorded many moons ago), the hosts talk all things Thanksgiving and food, sharing their favorite must-have dishes.Then, settle in for a vulnerable and restorative interview. Rather than shying away from the complexity of betrayal and loss of trust, Kelly and Carlie tackle the hard questions head-on. They explore the biblical mandate for forgiveness alongside the necessity of accountability, offering hope and a roadmap for healing when the very people meant to lead us cause harm. The goal is to uphold the dignity of survivors: not to belittle abuse or allow it to happen, but instead make sure abusers are stopped from harming others again, led towards genuine repentance in Jesus.Timestamps:0:00 – Show Begins: Group Chat 10:05 – Interview with Kelly Kelly: Ministry, Betrayal, and the Path to Forgiveness 1:24:52 – Discussion: Healing Together: Forgiving, Protecting Survivors, and Facilitating Genuine RepentanceMeet This Week's Guest:Kelly Kelly https://www.instagram.com/thegracefulwarriorproject/https://thegracefulwarriorproject.com/the-graceful-warrior-project-team/The Deep Dive Guide:Find this week's guide with scripture, discussion questions, and our recommended reads here: ⁠⁠⁠Deep Dive Guide⁠⁠⁠Our Website:⁠⁠⁠www.therealtruthministries.com⁠The True Images Podcast is produced by The Real Truth Ministries.
