What does it really mean to forgive “seventy times seven”? It's a command that sounds both beautiful and impossible—until we begin to understand what forgiveness actually is.    Forgiveness isn't a moment—it's a movement of the heart over time. Forgiveness often feels like giving something to the person who hurt us—but what if it's actually something we do to set ourselves free? In this episode, we unpack the liberating nature of forgiveness: how it can release us from the cycle of resentment, even when the offender hasn't apologized or changed. With insights from Scripture, therapy, and neuroscience, we'll explore the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, the myths of “just getting over it,” and the internal shifts that make healing possible. Forgiveness isn't about pretending the hurt didn't happen—it's about choosing to live untangled from its power. Through a story of personal forgiveness and repair, we'll see how letting go can be the beginning of becoming whole again.   Episode Links and References Everett Worthington - REACH Forgiveness Everett Worthington - Forgiving and Reconciling: Bridges to Wholeness and Hope  . . . . .

The concept of seventy time seven is repeated throughout the Bible, connoting something on going in perpetuity. The book of Daniel prophesies the perpetual punishment for the children of Israel for seventy weeks of years for their disobedience.  The final week of years will come at the end of the time of the Gentiles.  The Jewish people that are still wearing blinders to the truth will remain under this punishment until the return of Christ.  When that happens, they will finally recognize Him and He will be King.  VF-2440 Daniel 9 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

This week, we're so glad to be sharing a conversation with our friend Chad Ford.Chad is a conflict mediator, peace educator, and associate professor of religious studies at Utah State University. He's spent decades working in some of the most entrenched conflict zones in the world—from the Middle East to South Africa to Northern Ireland. He's also the author of a new book called Seventy Times Seven: Jesus's Path to Conflict Transformation, published by Deseret Book. The book explores a question that feels more urgent than ever: how do we follow Jesus as peacemakers in a world so often shaped by fear, division, and violence?Our conversation with Chad moved from the personal to the global—from tensions in families and faith communities to the devastating conflicts we see on the world stage. And through all of it, Chad points back to Jesus as a radical model for how to live, engage, and help transform the world around us.Chad reminds us that Jesus's path is anything but passive. It doesn't mean disengaging or avoiding hard conversations. It means choosing to engage with both courage and compassion. It means refusing to meet harm with more harm, and instead walking a path that invites healing, reconciliation, and transformation.That kind of peace doesn't come quickly—or easily—but it's the kind of peace that can change lives and communities. Chad offers a vision of Christianity rooted in Jesus' ministry of reconciliation—not in dominance or defensiveness, but in the slow, often difficult work of restoring wholeness.He helped us see that the peace Jesus offers isn't always the peace we want—but it's the peace we need. And when the way forward feels impossible, he reminds us that part of discipleship is learning to make a way out of no way.And with that, here's our conversation with ChadSeventy Time Seven

God wants me to forgive others from my heart. “Forgive your brother or sister from your heart” (Matthew 18:35).

God wants me to forgive others from my heart. “Forgive your brother or sister from your heart” (Matthew 18:35).

Sparked by a question from one of his disciples, Jesus explained in Matthew 18 that forgiveness is not to have a limit, but that just as God has forgiven us, we must be willing to forgive others. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

EPISODE 501 - Doralyn Moore - From Social Services to Writer, Finding Faith in Stories and BeliefReading is a pleasure for me and there is seldom a time that I do not carry a book in my hand. I have even been known to take one to a major league baseball game, which put a big frown on my husband's face.One day as I was reading a book, I thought to myself, “I can do this. I can write a book.” Little did I know then how challenging it is to write a novel. But the thought put a seed in my mind and soon after that, I began writing. However, life got in the way and I put the writing aside for many years. When I retired in 2019, I pulled out the old manuscripts and began revising them.In March 2021, I self-published “Seventy Times Seven” with Friesen Press. In 2022, “Hope Doesn't Disappoint”, the first book of the 3-book Victory Series was published traditionally by Elk Lake Publishing, Inc., a small Christian company in Plymouth, MA. The second book in the series, “Abundance of Grace” came out in June 2023. The third, “Caused to Triumph”, is to be published sometime in 2024.During the over thirty years I worked in the social services field, I met people of diverse cultures, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, and beliefs. Their personalities and stories have become a melting pot in my brain and from that concoction come the characters and plots for my books. They do not come from one specific person but from a melding of many.https://www.doralynmoore.ca/___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Join Julia Jeffress Sadler as she takes us on an incredible adventure in Episode 170. Jesus told Peter to forgive others not just seven times, but seventy times seven, illustrating this with a story about a king and his servants. A servant who owed the king a huge amount was forgiven his debt when he begged for mercy. However, this servant then refused to forgive a small debt owed to him by another servant, which angered the king when he found out, leading him to punish the unforgiving servant. Jesus explained this shows how important it is to forgive others, just as God forgives us.

If you've been following the Covid inquiry, you may have noticed a lot of strong and swearing language. So why do we swear, and are women judged differently for swearing than men? In her new book For F*ck's Sake: Why Swearing is Shocking, Rude, and Fun, Dr Rebecca Roache explores double standards, the misogynistic roots of certain swear words and the challenges in reclaiming them. Anita Rani is also joined by the scientist Dr Emma Byrne who discusses why she swears, swearing in front of children and her own relationship with certain swear words. In 1985 in Gary, Indiana, four girls aged between 14 and 16 years old entered the house of an elderly woman and brutally murdered her. They took her car and a small amount of cash. The girls were black and the woman was white. Ruth Pelke was a Bible school teacher, a widow, well-known in her community. Those facts are not disputed. A new book called Seventy Times Seven by Alex Mar is a forensic study of what happened before and after that day and her focus is on Paula Cooper - a 15-year-old girl sentenced to death for her crime. So far, so grim, but this is also a story of forgiveness and radical empathy. Alex Mar joins Anita. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Can we think of forgiveness in terms that are not legalistic or transactional? Jesus invites us to be empathetic and see others as God sees them.

In today's first reading, Joseph's brothers ask for his forgiveness for their cruel acts. Joseph forgives them, telling them that God used those cruel actions as an opportunity to do good and save many lives. Jesus' challenge that we forgive seventy-seven times reveals God's boundless mercy. When we hear the words of forgiveness in worship and sign ourselves with the cross, we are renewed in baptism to be signs of reconciliation in the world.Scripture Readings: Genesis 50:15-21; Psalm 103:8-13; Matthew 18:21-35

“Seventy Times Seven” is a devotional that explores personal forgiveness and prayer from a Christ-centered standpoint.

Jesus was a learned rabbi who knew Scripture. His tender charisma and miracles attracted large crowds. The crucifixion gave his life meaning, but it's his teaching that endures. The short messages that Christ preached centuries ago are still relevant today, printed in red ink in the Bible for us to explore.
