SEEKING FORGIVENESS FROM OTHERS
Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney
In this episode of The Exchanged Life Podcast, Dr. Phinney addresses a vital yet often neglected command in Scripture: the believer’s responsibility to seek forgiveness from those they have insulted or harmed. Drawing from passages such as Matthew 5:23–24 and James 5:16, he reveals that reconciliation is not merely a relational courtesy—it is a spiritual mandate. When we wrong others through our speech or actions, the indwelling life of Yeshua compels us to humble ourselves, confess, and pursue restoration. This episode will explore how seeking forgiveness is a reflection of Christ’s righteousness within us and a necessary step in releasing His life through our conduct.
This teaching is both practical and prophetic, calling the Church to model the Gospel not only in proclamation but in restoration. When believers take initiative to make things right, they demonstrate the power of the indwelling Christ to heal relationships and restore trust. This episode invites listeners to move beyond passive regret and into active reconciliation—where righteousness is not just declared, but displayed.
