E23 Have You Forgiven If You Don't Forget?

Season #1

We all know the adage: Forgive and forget. So the question is, have you truly forgiven if you don’t forget? And furthermore, is this what the Bible tells us to do? (Hint: it isn't!)

In this week’s (long!) podcast episode, we first listen to Nick Pollard (@thepeopledispleaser) as he shares that “Forgiveness is one of the most misused words in the English language.”  Then we unpack his concepts and talk about: 

  • The importance of understanding why you are confessing
  • Inviting Jesus into the wounded places through confession
  • The idea that sometimes the most loving thing to do is to confront sin in someone else
  • Paying attention to emotions without allowing them to dictate our actions
  • Confession and forgiveness being a process that you must do in relationship if you want to maintain the relationship
  • And much more!

If that sounds like a lot, it is! But it’s a good listen with loads of helpful nuggets. 

1 John 1:9…If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
