Forgiveness is a tough conversation, because there are so many layers and levels to this action. Our guest, Donna Nicholson Stief, is familiar with this topic in some of the deepest ways. So as you listen to her wisdom on forgiving what you can’t forget, you can be comforted that she shares from a place of knowing and understanding. She answers the question, “How do we let someone off the hook when the rest of our lives are devastated or we are deeply wounded?” and helps us understand the difference between looking in a mirror and peering through a window. You’ll hear how Donna went from knowing what forgiveness meant by definition, to living it out every day.
Ready to hear how forgiveness is freedom for the forgiver? Let’s go!
