About this episode
Chip Ingram discusses the process of forgiveness and restoring peace in relationships.
Do you find yourself living in a marriage full of unspoken tension? You’re polite and all, but there’s no honest sharing or compassion? In this final program of the series, Chip shares a tool that walks you step-by-step, through a communication process that’ll free you from the past, free you from the guilt, and free you from the history that’s holding your relationship hostage. Three major reasons we have shame: A theological reason – we ALL have shame. Shame from things DONE to us. Shame of things that we DO. Three natural responses: To HIDE. To NUMB the pain. To COMPENSATE. John 21:1-19 Principles: Jesus MEETS us where we are. Jesus gently DEMANDS that we face the truth about ourselves. Jesus AFFIRMS our value and our worthiness by commissioning us to service. Practical implications: You can’t forgive your mate until you have RECEIVED both forgiveness and restoration. -Ephesians 4:32 EXPERIENCE God’s forgiveness and restoration. Freely GIVE what you have received. Tools for transformation: D – DEFINE the issue clearly. E – ENTER the pain and hurt. F – Ask for FORGIVENESS. U – UNDERSTAND the process. Phase 1: Forgive Phase 2: Forgiving Phase 3: Forgiven S – SET things right…
