In the final week of The Forgiveness Project, Pastor Brandon walks us through the powerful message of forgiveness through the lens of the parable of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15.

In Week 4 of the Forgiveness Project, Pastor Brandon explains the importance of cultivating a lifestyle of forgiveness. One that moves beyond conventional wisdom, and embraces a culture that reflects God's grace.

In week 3 of The Forgiveness Project, Pastor Brandon reminds us that we can't truly forgive ourselves—only God can offer the kind of forgiveness our hearts long for. Healing starts when we stop carrying the weight alone and surrender it to Him.

In week 2 of The Forgiveness Project, Pastor Brandon walks us through Matthew 18 and Jesus' direction in how we should effectively handle the conflict we have with those in our lives.

This week, Pastor Brandon Thomas kicks off a powerful new series, The Forgiveness Project! He dives into the heavy burden of unforgiveness that so many of us carry — and how it can weigh us down, holding back our personal growth and relationships. Pastor Brandon reminds us that forgiveness isn't an elective — it's a core requirement for spiritual maturity and the full life God has for us.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Lorenn Walker, J.D., M.P.H., to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Lorenn speaks with us about her public health approaches to working with the criminal legal system. Through diversion, Lorenn's work addresses criminal issues that are better dealt with using proactive approaches instead of punitive ones. She addresses how to increase resiliency and cope with pain and anxiety using healing-based approaches by willingly taking responsibility for one's actions. People with the option to be active participants in their rehabilitation build resiliency. This is strikingly different from traditional court-system processes that are often passive and punitive. Lorenn is a Hawai'i-based social scientist who studies how people learn, increase resiliency, and cope with trauma and social problems. Her background in education, law, public health, restorative justice, solution-focused brief therapy, and her firsthand experiences inform her approaches to issues commonly addressed by criminal legal systems. She works to serve individuals and organizations by sharing research outcomes aimed at assisting to find healthy and positive mindsets no matter the circumstances. She has a special interest in helping disenfranchised people, including but not limited to foster youth, people facing housing and financial difficulties, crime victims, incarcerated people, and those with substance disorders. Much of Lorenn's research and work is conducted as director of Hawai'i Friends of Restorative Justice, which she has worked with for over 20 years. For over two decades, she has been a University of Hawai'i system lecturer and has served in numerous roles as an attorney, a public speaker, and a restorative justice ambassador. She also developed an individual reentry planning process for incarcerated people and began The Forgiveness Project after her own experience with a violent crime. Since 1996, Lauren has been using a public health approach in working with the criminal legal system and assisting people facing hardships to find peace and healing. Tune in to learn more about Lorenn's work and perspective on responsibility, shame, and finding the courage to be optimistic while navigating hardships.

Using logic for healing betrayal can be a common approach for many individuals who have experienced betrayal. Logic is often seen as a tool that can help us make sense of situations, find solutions, and understand the reasons behind certain actions. However, when it comes to healing from betrayal, using logic may not be the most effective tool.   In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of healing from betrayal and why using logic may be keeping you stuck. Dr. Debi explores how healing fully and moving through the five stages from betrayal to breakthrough requires a different approach, one that goes beyond logic.   Just like trying to do a home improvement project with only a hammer, healing from betrayal requires a variety of tools. Logic alone won't help you fully heal. To truly heal, we need to bypass the logical, rational mind and tap into what's underneath. It's about accessing our emotions and deeper inner wisdom.   Moreover, to break free from the chains of resentment and pain, we need to ask ourselves important questions about our current situation and the potential for change. By telling ourselves the truth, we can begin the journey towards transformation.   If you've been feeling stuck and logical reasoning hasn't been helping, this episode is for you! Discover the power of bypassing the rational mind and uncover what's truly underneath to aid in your healing process. Don't miss out on this empowering episode that will guide you towards a breakthrough.     Key Takeaways: [00:00:39] Using the wrong tool for healing.  [00:01:30] Using logic is not helpful in healing from betrayal. [00:04:29] Numbing, avoiding, and distracting.  [00:05:07] Ask yourself honest questions. [00:06:59] Healing and happiness.     Memorable Quotes "Being logical will keep you stuck when it comes to healing from betrayal. It is the wrong tool for the job. Healing from betrayal has very little to do with logic because think about it, you're trying to make sense of the senseless, right?” – Dr. Debi Silber   "You owe it to yourself to do something really good with something really painful." - Dr. Debi Silber     Links Mentioned In This Episode Website: https://thepbtinstitute.com/forgiveness/   Join us for The Forgiveness Project!

Empowerment through financial independence is a concept that emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's finances and using money as a tool to create the life one desires. This idea is particularly relevant in the context of divorce, where individuals often find themselves navigating the complexities of financial separation and rebuilding their lives.   If you're going through a betrayal, separation, or divorce, the added factor of finances can make things even more complicated. Today's guest, Mikelann Valterra, a Money Coach, Author, Keynote Speaker and Leader in the field of Financial Psychology, provides practical strategies and emotional intelligence techniques to help you transform your relationship with money, escape financial stress, and find peace and stability.   Mikelann emphasizes the importance of knowing how money affects us on a personal level.

Dwelling on past mistakes can hinder our emotional and physical well-being. Instead, let's focus on moving forward and creating a plan to improve our relationship with money. Mikelann reminds us that we are on a journey with money, and it's time to enhance and improve our relationship with it. By doing so, we can overcome obstacles and create a brighter financial future.   If you're interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the psychology behind our financial decisions, tune in to gain insights on navigating finances during challenging life transitions.     Key Takeaways: [00:01:49] The psychology side of money.

And so, when women are really highly motivated by freedom and they go through a divorce, there's a lot of fear that they're not going to be traveling the way they used to." – Mikelann Valterra   "I love saying that the art of planning your spending is the art of crafting the life you desire. So, if there is nothing more powerful than stepping into crafting the life that you most want and so learning how to plan your spending is really about learning how to architect the life that you want to create.” – Mikelann Valterra

Can everything be forgiven? Forgiving the small and average sufferings experienced throughout life is one thing. But what about bigger transgressions, like infidelity, abuse, or even large-scale offenses such as genocide? Showing that forgiveness is the healing of the heart's wounds as well as the revival of love, Olivier Clerc looks at what prerequisites might be needed to enter into a process of forgiving and what the effects of doing so might be, for oneself as much as, if not more than for the perpetrator. He identifies 15 obstacles to forgiveness—prejudices, confusions, false ideas, misunderstandings—and discusses where these perceptions and obstacles originate from, which keep many of us from taking the path to healing. Exploring how to overcome the obstacles to forgiveness and how to let go and change our thinking, the author details four practical methods for forgiveness, each with a unique approach: the Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono, Colin Tipping's Radical Forgiveness, Fred Luskin's Nine Steps to Forgiveness, and the author's own Gift of Forgiveness, inspired by his work with don Miguel Ruiz. Drawing from his years of forgiveness work as well as from the Forgiveness Project, he shares inspiring testimonies and examples from both victims and perpetrators who have rebuilt their lives after trauma by walking the path of conscious forgiveness. Clerc reveals how choosing to engage in a conscious process of forgiving our perpetrators—while not without struggle—helps stop a spiral of destruction, cleanses the heart, and leads to relief, freedom, and inner peace. Even when faced with the unspeakable, forgiveness is a path we can all take and in doing so we recover our full capacity to love and find happiness.

Please note this episode contains descriptions of treatment of women in prison including sexual threat and abuse that some listeners may find distressing.Edwina speaks to Sandra Barefoot, Raushia Coles, Siobhan Jackson and Ruth Chitty from The Forgiveness Project. The Forgiveness Project works with people who have rebuilt their lives following hurt and trauma to explore what it takes to heal, restore and rehumanise. In this episode they discuss their new research on the importance of understanding the impact of shame. They explore Shame Resilience Theory (SRT) and its potential for understanding how shame affects the behaviours of women with lived experience of imprisonment. They highlight how very little research had been undertaken on the connection between shame, violence and aggression with women, especially in comparison to the wealth of research available on men. The research, funded by the Griffins Society, is based on years delivering the RESTORE programme in prisons, and with women over the last 8 years. They suggest the motivation for this research came from a realisation that shame was the missing piece within the lens of working with anyone who has experienced trauma. You can access a summary of the research here.

World-renowned social scientist, best-selling author of "Forgive for Good," and director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project, Dr. Fred Luskin recognizes why forgiveness is so "unpopular." It takes hard work, intentional practice, and deep vulnerability.  Grudge-holding may feel more justified, but it only makes us sick. In his seminal "Forgive for Good" workshop and class series, which he has presented around the world, Dr. Luskin takes people through his forgiveness training methodology that's been validated through six successful research studies conducted through the Stanford Forgiveness Projects. Workshop participants learn to move from hurt to hope as they learn how to release grudges and free themselves from grievance.  Through his research at Stanford University, over the past 25 years, Dr. Luskin has confirmed that forgiveness has been shown to reduce anger, hurt, depression and stress and lead to greater feelings of optimism, hope, compassion and self confidence. Dr. Luskin holds a Ph.D. in Counseling and Health Psychology from Stanford University. He continues to serve as Director of the Stanford Forgiveness Projects, an ongoing series of workshops and research projects that investigate the effectiveness of his forgiveness methods on a variety of populations. The forgiveness project has successfully explored forgiveness therapy with people who suffered from the violence in Northern Ireland, Sierra Leone as well as the attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11.  In addition his work has been successfully applied and researched in corporate, medical, legal and religious settings. He currently serves as a Senior Consultant in Health Promotion at Stanford University and is a Professor at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Website:  https://learningtoforgive.com/Dr. Luskin's books: https://learningtoforgive.com/tools/

Luke 6:27-38[Jesus said,] “… listen, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you.“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.” I don't know about you, but stuff like “Love your enemies,” “Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you,” and “Turn the other cheek,” have almost become cliché in Christian circles. We read them. We hear them. We turn them into bumper stickers and slogans, so that they seem to have lost their punch. Or maybe it's that they set such a high standard that they go over our heads or in one ear and out the other.I mean, does anyone actually do this anymore – “Love your enemies” – if they ever really did? I'm not even sure who my enemies are at the moment. Maybe I'm lucky that my enemies seem like far away, hypothetical, existential kinds of foes. I don't contend with them daily, face-to-face, man-to-man, if you will, in ways that I'd actually have to make a choice, even, to fight them, let alone love them, as Jesus commands. And those times I have met an enemy face-to-face, it wasn't pretty, or easy, or loving, by any stretch, to be honest.And what does it mean to “bless those who curse you?” I'm no good at that. Can any of us say we blessed the last person who really ticked us off – and meant it? Ignored them, maybe… Walked away from them, perhaps… Cursed them in return or muttered something under our breath, more likely… but blessed them? Please.As for the rest of Jesus' words today … I have driven past the beggar and pretended not to see them. I have asked for or expected my stuff back when I loan it. I have withheld my coat and my shirt and more and, if you must know – my closets are packed and I could use more hangers at the moment.And what about, “praying for those who abuse you?” Are you kidding me? I've never been abused in the ways that come to mind when I hear that word – physical, sexual, domestic kinds of abuse, I mean. Did you hear about the kidnapped 6 year-old they just found, under some stairs after 2 years, somewhere in New York? The sorts of prayers I'd pray this morning, if I were the family who loved her, wouldn't be kind or loving or full mercy and forgiveness, I can almost guarantee you that.And, honestly, I believe all of this is okay, to some extent. And that God understands. God knows this about me, already. And maybe God knows this about some of you, too – how broken and stiff-necked, how selfish and sinful we can be a lot of the time.What I'm saying is, I take these extreme statements – this very high bar that Jesus sets for his followers – about as literally as I do some of the other things he says about plucking out our eyes if they cause us to sin, or chopping off our limbs if they cause us to stumble. That kind of stuff is holiness to the extreme – it seems like crazy talk – it's virtually impossible, for most of us – it's really hard work when the rubber meets the road, to be sure. (Love your enemy … Do unto others … Bless those who curse you … Turn the other cheek …)I still kind of hold a grudge against that terrible ref at the New Pal/Mt. Vernon basketball game on Friday night! (Love your enemy… Do unto others … Bless those who curse you … Turn the other cheek …)But seriously, we need to work at this.Did you know that, in Florida right now, there is a 79 year-old man on trial for shooting and killing a 43 year-old guy named Chad Oulson, in a movie theater, because the 43 year-old wouldn't turn his cell phone off during the previews and may have thrown some popcorn? (Love your enemy… Turn the other cheek… Do unto others…)But, it's not always so cut and dried, is it?I watched coverage of the Kim Potter sentencing on Friday. She was the officer who shot and killed 20 year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop in Minneapolis, a year ago, April. She was sentenced to 2 years, but will only serve 16 months of those behind bars.I think God understands that Daunte Wright's family doesn't have it in them to forgive Kim Potter for killing their son, boyfriend, father, and friend, just yet – and that they want her to do more time for that crime. I think God understands that they can't love their enemy … turn the other cheek … or, do unto Kim Potter at the moment. And I'm not sure I could either.But that doesn't mean we ignore Jesus words altogether – this invitation to forgiveness, to love, to turning, to blessing – it doesn't mean we don't strive to achieve those things – somehow … some way … in some measure of time.I think what Jesus does today is call us toward a better way, as hard as that might be for us. I think Jesus is always inviting us to love, even when it seems impossible; to bless others, even when it's really hard. I think Jesus is always calling us to mercy and forgiveness even when it goes against our first instinct; or our natural, sinful, selfish inclinations; or even when it goes against what the world would have us do under the same circumstances; and even if we never get all the way there.I stumbled across something called The Forgiveness Project last week, which is a movement that provides resources and experiences to help people overcome unresolved grief and grievances. The website shares story after story of forgiveness and reconciliation by survivors of all sorts of trauma – from child abuse to school shootings, from parents of murdered children to victims of terrorist attacks, from war crimes and war criminals to victims of terrible car accidents, even. They talk about Forgiveness as a whole other kind of “F Word,” because, as someone there said, it can be the hardest word to say out loud.And these astonishing feats of faithfulness (parents who can forgive their child's murderer, children who can forgive abusive parents, women who can forgive their rapists) … that kind of supernatural grace … that sort of sacred selflessness ... that holy humility … that kind of Heaven on Earth … all of it makes me wonder if Jesus' words about loving your enemies; blessing those who curse you; turning the other cheek; praying for those who abuse you are more possible than I pretend. It makes me wonder if that high bar of impossible mercy really is possible and worthwhile – rewarding, even – if we take it seriously.I think that's what life in the kingdom is supposed to look like. And I don't think we need to have suffered a major, life-altering, news-worthy trauma to give it a go.We can pray for bullies on the playground, in the classroom, and in the cafeteria. We can forgive that jerk at the office. We can work at loving those people in our lives who make it so hard sometimes. We can be slower to condemn those with whom we disagree. We can be generous, even if we don't think someone deserves it. We can practice humility when we want so badly to prove how right we are. We can offer a blessing and mean it.We can show and receive mercy. We can forgive and receive forgiveness. We can love and be loved, in spite of ourselves.And Jesus models all of this for us, and invites us to it, because he knows we'll be blessed and because the world will be changed when we live this way.Because in the end God is merciful, even when we can't be. God is loving, even when we're not. God's grace is more than we can give and always more than we deserve: a good measure, for sure, pressed down, shaken together, running over – for you, for me, and for the world, until we get it right.Amen

Dr Christina Straub's interest is centred around qualitative social research in general and prison research in particular. She graduated as a Cultural Scientist (MA) at the European-University-Viadrina, Germany, in 2009 with an ethnographic study about the construction of individual identity in the subculture of Hot Rodding (car culture). Her first post-grad employment as a Research Assistant for the Prisons Research Centre at the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge led her into a high-security prison exploring staff-prisoner-relationships together with Prof Alison Liebling and Helen Arnold. The many stories and layers of the prison environment ever since continued to play a major role in her work. It included, for example, qualitative research for London-based charity The Forgiveness Project or looking into the specific pains and needs of families of people serving an Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection (IPP) together with Dr Harry Annison (Southampton Law School) and in collaboration with the Prison Reform Trust. Currently she works with Dr Kate O´Brien at Durham University on a project evaluating the Early Days in Custody programme delivered by NEPACS. She is passionate about and inspired by multidisciplinary research (using neurosciences, psychology, sociology, and moral philosophy for example) that aims to deliver holistic insights into the micro- and macro-levels of human existence, human resilience, and sustainable ways for humanity to move forward (individually, socially, and institutionally).  Christina's latest book is Love as human virtue and human need and its role in the lives of long-term prisoners https://www.amazon.co.uk/human-virtue-lives-long-term-prisoners/dp/1622739663/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1SPAAB22PM4C3&dchild=1&keywords=christina+straub&qid=1635156221&sprefix=christina+straub%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1 And she recommends All about Love by bell hooks https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-About-Love-Visions-Paperback/dp/0060959479/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18F5SRYGWCS8R&dchild=1&keywords=all+about+love&qid=1635156284&sprefix=all+about+love%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Work-Jairus-McLeary-Gethin-Aldous/dp/B075GV1KG4

Why is it so hard to forgive people who have wronged us yet Hashem makes is seem like an easy task?

Trigger Warning: This episode contains sexual violence. In this episode, Kim Honeycutt interviews Madeleine Black, who was violently assaulted. They discuss the behavior that happens after trauma, how to have fulfilled relationships moving forward, and more about her powerful story of healing.  Madeleine Black's Bio: I have an unusual personal story which I use to inspire and motivate others. I chose to forgive the two men who gang-raped me when I was thirteen years old, and I share my story for many reasons. I want to end the shame, stigma, and silence surrounding sexual violence, enabling others to find their voice, whatever their story is. I want people to know that it's not what happens to us that is important but what we do with it. I will show how changing my mindset tapped into my resilience and transformed my life, making people question their own thinking and encouraging them to see that there are always choices to make, and if we choose to, we can get past anything that happens to us in life both professionally and in our personal life. I want to encourage others to live their lives courageously, too, but ultimately, I want to inspire hope and show people that we are all so much stronger than we think we are. The sharing of my story publicly on https://www.theforgivenessproject.com/madeleine-black (The Forgiveness Project's website) in September 2014 opened many doors for me in ways I never imagined, and the invitations started to pour in. Many women and men got in contact and explained how reading my story gave them strength, hope, and a different perspective of what's possible in their lives. I have taken part in both TV and radio interviews and has been invited to share my story of being gang-raped as a teenager at conferences, book events, schools, etc. I recognize that I was a victim of a crime that left me silent for many years but has now found my voice and intends to use it. Not just for me, but for so many who can't find theirs yet.
