Can I Be More Gentle With Myself? With Micah E. Davis [Episode 375]

When you’ve been hurt or let down, or when you’ve failed over and over, it’s easy to be way too hard on yourself and others. Maybe you’ve struggled to forgive yourself if you’ve blown it, or you can’t seem to forgive others if they have.

But my friend, there’s hope! The gospel is anchored in grace, which means you can forgive others and be gentle with yourself.

Today on the 4:13, author and pastor Micah E. Davis will reframe your understanding of forgiveness, distinguishing the practice of forgiveness from the difficult process it requires. He’ll unpack why forgiveness isn’t easy, how to move forward when it feels too difficult to let go, and steps you can take to live in the freedom Christ offers.

Forgiveness may feel out of reach, whether it’s because you don’t think you deserve it—or because you don’t think they do—but take heart! This conversation will give you clarity and confidence to take the next step toward peace, healing, and grace.
