#251 - Joby Martin // Why Forgiveness Sets You Free At Christmas

We press into a Christmas tip that actually changes hearts: forgive because Christ forgave us. We read Matthew 18, sort out the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and walk through a practical debt-ledger exercise to cancel what we can never collect. • the sword of the Spirit as our weapon • Christmas as Jesus’ rescue mission • forgiveness as a command, not a feeling • Matthew 18 and the mercy of the king • forgiveness versus reconciliation explained • the debt-ledger exercise to name and cancel • escaping bitterness and resentment • choosing freedom when feelings return Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review Support the show Want to connect?
