Episode 107: a conversation with evangelist, pastor, and co-founder of Mac Ministries and Everyone Everywhere, Micah MacDonald, and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. This recording took place in front of a live studio audience during the 2025 Single Moms Retreat.

Micah and Mykelti discuss forgiveness–what the Bible has to say and the journey of God’s interactions of forgiveness with humanity. Jesus is the epitome of what this looks like.

They discuss misconceptions of forgiveness and why some people struggle with it. Micah and Mykelti share personal experiences of working through situations requiring forgiveness–both toward others and of themselves–and how God brought them freedom and healing in those times. They also discuss what it looks like to live a life of forgiveness, walking in humility and committing to have an unoffendable heart. There is so much Scripture to cover and wisdom to be gained from this episode.
