Season Topic: The Many Facets of Forgiveness
I cannot offer an easy fix or solution to this issue of needing to forgive God.
The best thing I can do isn’t to try and convince you why forgiving God is the right thing to do (or why you should stop being angry at Him), but to tell you what I have learned about God in my journey here on this earth, why I still trust Him, love Him and follow Him, why I can say He is faithful and how it has gotten me where I am today.
In this episode we discuss several misconceptions, how our perspective can change our thoughts about God, and start tackling the question of “Why?”
Since this topic is more than what we can tackle in one discussion, we will finish it next week.

I can not thank you enough for this, it helped me a lot to understand why my son took his life. I know with all my being that my son is waiting for me in heaven. What a great lesson. Thank you and God bless. D Ames
Donna, I am so glad this gave you a different perspective on Josh. Love you, my friend!
My daughter Cherie just passed away June 17/19. I am a Christian and just have been wrestling with the lord about the death of my daughter. I just want to thank you so much for you’re time. You have our so many things into perspective for me.. thank you
Marleen, I am so sorry for the earthly loss of Cherie. My heart goes out to you, and it just happened so it is so VERY fresh. It is okay to wrestle with the Lord about these things… there is so much we just don’t understand. Now we see dimly, but someday we will see clearly. I hope you stay connected to us so that we can walk with you on this journey. Feel free to email me any time at laura@gpshope.org.
