#95: Forgiving what you can't forget (with Lysa TerKeurst)
“Forgiveness is both a decision and a process. We must fully acknowledge the facts, the pain, and make the decision to forgive. Then we have to walk through the process of dealing with the emotional impact, the cost of what was done to us.”
Popular author Lysa TerKeurst returns to the show this week to catch us up on the reconciliation of her marriage and how to forgive things that can’t be forgotten. We discussed dealing honestly with grief and acknowledging pain instead of spiritual bypassing. We talked at length about forgiveness, why it’s important for our healing, and how to give forgiveness to someone who really doesn’t deserve it… and why maybe the matter of their deserving-ness is the wrong question. I highly recommend you check this out along with her new book, Forgiving What You Can’t Forget. I was moved, y’all.
