How Forgiveness Transforms Our Lives: A Chat With Katy Krippaehne
07/16/24 • 37 min
Forgiveness is truly the most powerful avenue for a life of fullness and goodness - our best, most free and joyful and holy lives for God's glory and our good! Forgiveness is vital and brings a depth of freedom and release and connection that are indescribable. Join Laurine and her friend Katy Krippaehne as they talk about some of the complex layers of forgiveness and the transformative, difficult and ongoing process it can be.
We share heartfelt stories and reflect on scriptures like the Lord's Prayer and Colossians 3, and explore the all too often tug-of-war between the Christian command to forgive and the emotional readiness to do so.
We talk about the importance of compassion not only for others but for ourselves, and the recognition that taking time to receive love and deep forgiveness and a sense of worth isn't selfish but necessary for genuine spiritual growth.

How Judgment and Other Perspectives Shift Over the Years As We Walk with Jesus: A Talk with My Mom, Beverly Mesler
As Christinas, we know to "judge not", but sometimes we get confused about what that means. It's not judgment to have a perspective or opinion that differs from someone - it's what we do with that perspective. Do you know the one and true judge? It's Jesus himself. What a relief. Our Redeemer and Righteousness.
What about shame or judgment of your self? Do you ever feel like you're unworthy of love or like you're falling short and just not enough? Does this impact your ability to enjoy your present life? Today my mother, Beverly Mesler, and I chat about how self-judgement and judgement of others has impacted us. She shares reflections from her lengthy walk as a disciple of Jesus that began at a Billy Graham crusade at the tender age of 13. She highlights some pivotal moments in her life that led to profound spiritual growth and an ongoing reliance on Jesus. We talk about judgment, pride, and the humbling process of recognizing our own weaknesses.
Throughout the episode, we unpack the transformative power of humility and the often painful but necessary journey of selflessness. We share struggles with self-importance and the battle with self-condemnation, and talk about the essence of servant leadership and the need for love, authenticity, and surrender in our spiritual lives.
Join us as we invite you to acknowledge your need for God at every stage of your faith journey, and embrace the joy and peace that come with it.

We CAN indeed walk in more and more realization of the freedom we have. This episode is packed with scripture to encourage you to persevere and grasp hold of what is yours. The Word is alive and active, so join me in this exhortation.
