S1E19 How to forgive others and yourself
03/12/21 • 43 min
Is it easier for some people to forgive than others? In theory we all understand the commandment that we are to forgive everyone, whether or not we experience our idea of justice or even an apology. Most of us understand this idea on an experimental level, but sooner or later on a practical level some of us may start scrambling for the loop-hole, confident that the commandment surely didn’t really mean everyone.
What if it is just too hard? What if we just don’t know how to forgive?
I discuss what forgiveness is, and what it is NOT. For instance, it is giving up those negative emotions of anger, resentment, hate, revenge, bitterness, and grudges. But forgiveness is not condoning or excusing the action that caused harm, nor is it necessarily tied to reconciliation.
There are four reasons why forgiveness is so difficult for most people, but that there is hope for anyone and everyone.
In this episode I discuss the REACH step by step process of how to forgive others, and that includes yourself, often the hardest person to forgive.
While I mostly speak about concepts and topics that are within the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, forgiveness is for all Christians and religions, allowing individuals to experience peace and relief from a misguided commitment to anger and resentment.

S1E20 Two Trees and Two Stewardships in the Garden of Eden
One of the biggest differences between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other denominations is that we believe that Eve’s choice in the Fall was a holy and righteous one; a necessary, vital step for all of mankind to take on the path to becoming more like our Heavenly Parents.
Have you ever wondered why Eve was created after Adam in the Garden of Eden? It has to do with the two trees in that garden: the Tree of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life and Eve and Adam as their specifically assigned stewards.
Each tree is considered a doorway, either from or to heaven. Eve and her daughters are stewards over one tree, while Adam and his sons are stewards over the other.
Listen in as I talk about how knowing the correct understand of the the Fall in the Garden of Eden will help Eve's daughters understand their divine mission and stewardship.
Also, listen as I discuss how Eve was recognized as a Life Giver before she ever had a child or carried a single soul in her womb, and what this means for your divine mission as a woman!!
While I mostly speak about concepts and topics that are within the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, divine womanhood is necessary for all Christians and religions to understand.
