In a culture where taking responsibility for your actions is often seen as a weakness, learning to forgive others can seem counterintuitive. Micah E. Davis is the pastor of teaching and vision at The Sanctuary, and he knows a great deal about forgiveness personally. After surviving a turbulent period in his childhood where he was failed by multiple father figures, he learned the meaning of true forgiveness - forgiveness that comes from a Christ-centered heart. Why isn’t forgiveness easy? Why doesn’t it feel natural? Because it’s costly, Micah says. It costs the offender and the offended something, to both give and receive it. Yet, most of us fail to realize that in withholding forgiveness, we miss out on receiving the relief that we need so badly from the Lord.TAKEAWAYSNot forgiving others is a voluntary form of suffering and refusing to forgive, over time, does damage to our soulsWe can choose to hold onto an offense, or we can choose to forgiveThere are four components to forgiveness: forgiving others, asking for forgiveness, forgiving ourselves, forgiving a false idea of who God isWe were created by a God who is in pursuit of His creation🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/4n6c5lNThree Strikes, You’re Forgiven book: https://amzn.to/3WDyE5oThe Forgiveness Way book: https://amzn.to/3J6cZQm🔗 CONNECT WITH MICAH DAVISWebsite: https://www.micahedavis.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/micahedavisYouTube: https://bit.ly/4nst95iPodcast: https://bit.ly/46wIx9F📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/WAVwatch (get $100 off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tinaArtza (get 20% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3H0uUGG🔗 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 #micahdavis #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.oneplace.com/donate/1654/29
