Forgiveness is one of the most important aspect of our relationship with Jesus. It is based off us repenting from our sins, accepting Jesus into our hearts, and accepting his forgiveness for our sins. But, what does accepting this forgiveness look like? What does it look like in our interpersonal relationships? And, what does it look like to to apply self-forgiveness? For those who have experienced shame, forgiveness may be a difficult concept to grasp, be it in their interpersonal relationships their relationship with God, and it often leads Christians to believe that they are not deserving of forgiveness. This is not true.  On this episode, Dr. Kim shares with us the different facets of forgiveness as well as the importance of it for healing from hurts:   - Defining forgiveness and reconciliation, - The need to have a sense of right and wrong in order to forgive,  - Discussing divine forgiveness, self-forgiveness, and interpersonal forgiveness, and - How shame impacts the way we view forgiveness.
