“I never wanted this story told because I never wanted this to be my story.” - Lysa TerKeurstRegardless of whether we’re in a pandemic or not, the holidays bring families together - and with these gatherings, painful memories oftentimes surface and difficult conversations happen - or are avoided… At the center of these conflicts are the need for forgiveness and healing. Come to think of it, it’s not just during the holidays - issues related to forgiveness are everywhere. If this resonates with you - stay with us as Michael welcomes back popular author and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lysa TerKeurst. Lysa’s personal life has been on display the past few years - and her journey of forgiveness has been one that has inspired many to pursue wholeness and reconciliation.On this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael and Lysa discuss her latest book, Forgiving What You Can't Forget. The subtitle of the book really provides the essence of their conversation, “Discover How to Move On, Make Peace with Painful Memories, and Create a Life That’s Beautiful Again.” As you will discover, Lysa has spent over 1000 hours studying the biblical foundation for forgiveness and wants nothing more than for you and her readers to walk in freedom and healing. It’s our prayer that you discover what forgiveness is, what it isn’t, and that forgiveness is not about forgetting. It’s about listening to the way you now share your story. And the way you share the story of what happened will determine where you are in the healing process.In this podcast, we hope you will discover:What are the barriers to forgiveness?Reconciliation does not always hold hands with forgiveness.Grieving is dreaming in reverse.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
