About this episode
John Mark and Bethany Allen discuss the essential steps of reconciliation following forgiveness.
How do we move forward after forgiveness? John Mark and Bethany Allen walk through the four essential steps of reconciliation—confession, repentance, restitution, and restoration—and show us why forgiveness isn't complete until we've done the hard work of making things right. They challenge us to move beyond our culture's victimization mindset and take personal responsibility for the relationships we've damaged.
