Rob and Vinnie continue their series on Church Health…and sometimes the lackthereof. In this episode, they finish discussing the proper application of Matthew 18 when peers within the church need to resolve conflict. Then they spend exploring the biblical concept of Forgiveness: what it is, what it is NOT, and how it relates to justice and reconciliation.
This is part of a multi-episode conversation where we talk about cultivating a healthy church environment and how to understand church hurt and church abuse.
