In this episode of Walking With the Savior, the John Kirkman interviews author and leadership consultant Roger Connors about his book Healing the Wounded Heart: Forgiving One Another Through the Enabling Power of Jesus Christ. Connors explains a key misconception: divine forgiveness is conditional on repentance, while brotherly forgiveness is unconditional, and confusing the two leads people to wait for apologies or restitution.
He discusses why the our savior commands forgiving all, how trusting Christ as the perfect judge helps release the burden of resentment, and why forgiveness is a process that can come in a decisive moment through the Savior’s power.
The conversation explores reconciliation as the ultimate goal, the mental and physical costs of unforgiveness, developing a forgiving nature, forgiving oneself, and becoming a peacemaker.
Roger Connors book is available for preorder now with the book releasing July 1 on Amazon.
