Because messing up is a part of the human condition, forgiveness is an ongoing concern in our lives and in the lives of the people we serve. Forgiving, along with not forgiving, has a very powerful impact, and even takes on added importance as we age. When we begin to realize that we don’t have as much time left, we often feel an inherent urge to put our lives in order. There is a growing desire to release our burdens in our preparation to meet God with peace in our hearts. Forgiveness can be deeply rewarding as it heals emotional and spiritual distress and alleviates physical symptoms. This course is offered through a partnership with Sage-ing International.
Objectives of the course are:
-
- To discuss how scripture calls us to forgive
- To identify what forgiveness is and what it is not
- To understand what role the brain plays
- To look at the scientific and spiritual benefits of forgiveness
- To explore what the steps are in the holy process of forgiveness
- To learn how forgiveness can be a way of life and not a onetime response to a crisis
