God brought me this amazing message at a time when I was desperate for help - a timing thing that you immediately know it came from God!! I will be listening to it a lot!!

Every part of this message has helped me but the biggest gift is the freedom from the guilt of believing that forgiving means i have to stay in a relationship with someone that keeps hurting me over & over & over. What a wonderful light feeling to forgive and remove myself from the situation without all the guilt!!

This message has also been a HUGE help in the process of forgiving.

Thank you for your willingness to lay yourself wide open in order to deliver a message that is straight from God and desperately needed by so many. Thank you God for loving us so much, for feeling our pain and sending help. ❤

Pastor Shawn, thank you for being so honest and relatable. God brought me this video just when I needed it.
I finally forgave my mother for all her abuse, something I never thought I could ever do. I'm in my late 40s. I am on the cusp of forgiving my father too, and wrote him a letter yesterday, we have been estranged for 12 years. I am hesitant to mail it, but I will try. He is a hypocritical "Christian".. like many, unfortunately... I doubt he's changed, but that's on him. He will be judged in the end. I'm working on forgiving everyone else, too. I used to never believe in forgiving those that hurt you.

I wish all those who say that they are Christians were willing to be as real, honest, and forthcoming about the issues that so many have gone through.

I wish you were in my neck of the woods. Your sermons are the most relateable and interesting that I've ever heard. Thanks to you, I am becoming more drawn to listening to God's word, it's a daily routine now despite the extreme stress of being homeless.

You are great to listen to (and to watch, as you are very good looking too). 😉

Bless you. 🙏

Profoundly true, so detailed, well spoken and hits home. To all humanity!!!! Betrayal from people close to you hurts sooo bad even at times when it feels liIke God the Father himself has left you!!

[breazyhodges]

Its hurts. Are you talking to me ??? Amen pastor Shawn. I have to admit I cheated on red rocks and went to Flatirons church on Easter Sunday and got baptized. Forgive me? Lol. I love my church family. I have learned so much and yall are my support system. Yall might not know it but you are. I love you church family. Have a blessed week. And yes that wound can but open it up and let it air out and heal.

I’ve been searching for a message like this. I recently found out my husband was unfaithful and though this was the one that stabbed me the worse, he’s lied about so many things for over a decade. I have been angry, bitter, and carried so much hate in my heart. I wasn’t showing him love at all. Tonight, this message is helping me understand how to be set free. Forgiveness is not fellowship. I can forgive my husband. It’s doesn’t right his wrongs but him changing and actually being sorry will restore our marriage. It’s ok to forgive him. It’s ok to forgive the other women. It’s up to both of us to rebuild that fellowship. Thank you!
