In this heartfelt teaching, host Nici Mathis closes out a week of studying forgiveness by turning to John 17—Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Known as “My Big Brother’s Prayer,” this passage reveals that Jesus was praying not only for His disciples but for every believer who would one day follow Him.
Nici unpacks the depth of this prayer: Jesus asked the Father to keep us safe from the evil one, to sanctify us in truth, to grant us unity, to fill us with His glory, and to let us know the same love that the Father has for Him. Through scripture, reflection, and prayer, Nici reminds listeners that forgiveness is not just a command but a supernatural work empowered by the Holy Spirit—and that Jesus’ intercession for us is the foundation for walking it out.
This episode is both an encouragement and a challenge: to see ourselves in the prayer of Christ, to embrace His love, and to forgive others as we’ve been forgiven.
