Light In Your Corner
Join Lauren and Monica as they discuss how to live in and bless our surrounding culture while carrying the LIGHT that cannot be overcome.
We are two women joining Jesus in our neighborhood while navigating family, friendships, work, creativity, and chronic health issues. We don't always do things right the first time, and we have a borderline-unhealthy relationship with British mystery novels, but with God we can find the humor and the heart behind most things. Light in Your Corner is our first podcast.
Light In Your Corner
(36) Forgiven & Forgiving
Forgiveness isn’t a new topic, and honestly, it is pretty cut and dry. However, that doesn’t make it easy, and “cut and dry” can look messy and frayed.
Especially when we are trying to take it seriously.
So what do we do when someone keeps on sinning against us? Or when we don’t want to forgive? Or when we don’t know where to start? Or when it forces us to confront the part we played in the conflict?
Jesus didn’t answer every question about forgiveness but He was very clear on the fact that we should forgive. Like in Luke 17.
So today we tackle some of the hardest verses in the Bible. Sound like fun? We promise there is some light for all of us in this episode!
