About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of addressing difficult conversations and seeking forgiveness as taught in Matthew 18:15–35.

Some problems do not go away because we ignore them. They stay buried under the surface: conversations we avoid, wounds we refuse to name, gossip we excuse, bitterness we rehearse, and forgiveness we say with our mouths but do not release from our hearts. In Matthew 18:15–35, Jesus shows His people how to deal with sin, hurt, truth, forgiveness, and restoration. He does not call us to fake peace. He does not call us to avoid hard conversations. He does not call us to weaponize truth. He calls us to go to the person, seek restoration, trust His presence, and let the mercy we have received keep moving through us. If there is something blocking the flow of Christ in your heart, your relationships, or your church, this message is for you.
