    Dear JP, Kathy, and Nate, I thoroughly enjoy y’all’s podcasts. Can y’all please talk about how to let your husband be the spiritual leader in your marriage even when you’ve been saved longer / been a Christian longer and have just experienced more in the Christian world? Love y’all!! 🤍

    Hello JP, Kathy, & Nate, This was a very relatable resource for me and I truly believe this was my answer for my prayer. A huge thank you for giving me the words and sound biblical clarity on what is not feasible (forgetting the sin of others) and establishing boundaries with those that continue to hurt me & others in my life.

    Younger I would do you a friend what she did to me to make her feel what I felt when she did what she did. As soon as she was hurt, I forgive her immediately. Some people would not acknowledge the hurt until it is done to them. I have had no regret and released and forgiven her. Most friendships usually ended there. Now, today I am working on forgiving abuse from my childhood which is more difficult.

    My Testimony: Many years ago I was in loved with this church girl but I didn't have a job so a friend got me this job working in a French Restaurant in lower mahantan in New York City. I had no experience so I was one of those newbies that are sometimes portrayed in movies as the one that takes the plate before the customer is finished so yeah I did that so one of the workers gave complain to the management and my first day became my last day. I was sooo upset that I took the crayons they have for kids to draw and I drew a rat with the apron we wore and wrote the guys name. I was like 15 or 16 years old with a temper issue. All I saw was this guy take away my way to impress this girl I liked and nothing more. I had this immature anger in me that I actually desired the guy death that's how bad the devil was feeding me thoughts. The following day I went to church and desired to give complain to God about the guy and as I was praying I had a live vision and I saw Jesus Christ hugging this guy and as I walked closer the guy was the guy that got me fired! it may sound hilarious but I cried because Jesus was hugging the man I hated the most in the world. Yet it taught me a lesson that God died for those we call enemies and he suffered for all of us and he forgave us and yet we ask God to forgive our trespasses and yet its difficult to forgive those that trespass against us. It's funny that I hated this guy and the Lord was hugging him so you would say you betrayed me Jesus for hugging him, you suppose to be in my side not his! hahahahaha That's an immature mentality but a person that has the Holy Spirit would see the message Christ was showing me when he hugged him. In regards to forgiving and forgetting well the Bible is full of God's word on the issue when he says I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. in Isaiah 43:25 and in Hebrews 10:17 Then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more. My opinion is simple, don't say I forgive if I can't forget! Period! I prefer to say I'm moving on but I won't hold a grudge against you but even with that mentality I am going against the scriptures of forgiving those that trespass against me. I would be a hypocrite to say God for me my trespasses when I con't forgive my neighbors trespasses against me. It's not easy if you live a life of the flesh where your carnal desires is always above the desires of the spirit. Period! Now in Matthew 18:15 it says “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. The truth is we really need to take the scripture literally and go against our flesh and live a spiritual life because than we will see forgiveness as easy as saying I love you. We all says ohhhh if my wife has an affair I will kill her or get a divorce and throw her out to the curb or vice versa but how many stories we have heard where one spouse forgives the other spouses sins or how many people have forgiven those that have brought pain and suffering to them or families. It can be done! Only if you live a life where love conquers pains. It's never easy because we live in the mentality of we are humans and not perfect but awe contradict Jesus when he declared in Matthew 5:48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Its never a easy thing to do but it was never easy to walk when you were a baby but you took the first step.

    Question: God forgives and forgets, shouldn't we? He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:19 and “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25 Also, we shouldn't live in the past, we should remember the past no longer. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead" Philippians 3:13 and “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old Isaiah 43:18
