Episode 96: a conversation with Bible teacher, pray-er, wife, and mother Kristin Peterson in conversation with our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. Kristin has been involved in ministry and church leadership for over 25 years.

In this episode, Kristin and Mykelti discuss everything around forgiveness. Kristin shares her own journey with it, why it’s so hard to forgive, and what the Bible has to say about forgiveness. They also discuss how offense and humility both play a part in forgiveness. You’ll hear personal stories including miracles, redemption, and what happens to our faith when we forgive.
