Real quick, in 10 seconds, tell me one person that you have a difficult relationship with?

Who pushes the buttons for you? Are you easily offended? Can you recall past relational pain that has severed your ability to maintain healthy relationships?

In Romans 12:2, we are encouraged to embrace the sacrificial life that Christ has ahead of us, but only by first taking ahold of your thinking and establishing healthy habits centered around mind renewal processes. 

On this episode let's discuss empowerment in becoming our "new self" (Colossians 3), through renewing our mind and tearing down old habits that are not beneficial for this transformation. This week we are talking all things forgiveness. Can you identify any challenges involved when there are remnants of unforgiveness? I cannot imagine the pain that is very real in your story, and I do not believe that the process of forgiving and moving ahead is easy. Forgiveness is difficult, and even though it is NOT easy to abandon the need to build up emotional walls and withhold displaying love to others, Jesus adds a "but" on the playing field, which invites us to an emotional unleveling to be undertaken. 

I appreciate your listening and being here!
