Forgiveness isn’t between you and another person - it’s about wisdom versus folly. Brad Hambrick shares thoughtful insight into the freeing power of forgiveness. Brad is the pastor of counseling at The Summit Church, and he explains the difference between true forgiveness and bitterness. He also talks about the occasional need to draw healthy boundaries with those who continue to perpetrate hurt upon our lives. All of us are equally sinful, Brad reminds us, but not all of our sin is equally destructive. Scripture calls us into community with other believers, and sometimes we need their help to step into a place where we can truly forgive. Importantly, Brad points out that true forgiveness promises never to use someone’s transgressions against them in the future.TAKEAWAYSWhen someone tells you they’re sorry, believe themSometimes we use ‘oopsie-grade’ responses to ‘sin-grade’ offensesForgiveness does not mean that we don’t hurt anymore, but it does invite others to join us in a healthier lifestyleForgiveness accepts the responsibility of bringing a real hurt to someone’s attention🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEKerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://rstr.co/kerusso/tinaMaking Sense of Forgiveness book: https://amzn.to/42tf1R5🔗 CONNECT WITH BRAD HAMBRICKWebsite: https://bradhambrick.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brad.hambrick.5Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bradhambrick/X: https://x.com/BradHambrick📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomJase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCMRedemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4ijBXXXRogersHood (use code TINA for 10% off): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #bradhambrick #forgiveness #love #faith #peace #god #healing #jesus #hope #grace #life #believe #spirituality #pray #wisdom #trust #selflove #happiness #meditation #compassion #prayer #forgive #gratitude #bible #truth #spiritual #mercy #motivation #jesuschrist #christian #mentalhealth #religion #thankful #selfcare #calm #inspiration #christ #faithful #kindness #church #family #christianity #strength #gospel #freedom #repent #repentance To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1655/29
