Forgiveness Misconceptions: The Truth About Biblical Forgiveness

The Remnant Radio

What if true forgiveness isn’t about waiting for an apology, but a radical choice that frees your heart—even amid deep pain? Michael Rowntree tackles common misconceptions about forgiveness, inspired by MikeWinger 's episode discussing Erika Kirk’s powerful act of forgiving her husband’s killer. 

Discover how Christian theology calls us to forgive infinitely, just as we’ve been forgiven by God, and learn the difference between unconditional forgiveness and conditional forgiveness for public reconciliation.
