Forgiveness is often misunderstood. It does not mean saying what happened was okay. It does not require reconciliation. And it does not erase the scars. In this week’s Dulin Weekly Podcast, Pastor James reflects further on his recent sermon about forgiveness, clarifying what forgiveness is — and what it is not. Drawing on the Japanese art of kintsugi and the image of the risen Christ bearing scars, he explores how forgiveness allows us to move forward without letting past wounds define us. Letting go is not excusing harm; it is refusing to let it shape our future.
