What if our misunderstanding of forgiveness is actually causing more harm than good?
In this profound episode of the Innovative Church Leaders podcast, host Dr. Eric Bryant welcomes back world-renowned apologist and advocate Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing. Together, they tackle one of the most weaponized and misunderstood topics in the modern church: Forgiveness.
Dr. Orr-Ewing shares insights from her new book, Forgiveness: Reclaiming Its Power in a Culture of Outrage and Fear. She addresses the “identity politics” of grievance, the rise of “cancel culture,” and—most importantly—how the church has often used the teaching of forgiveness to silence victims of abuse. This isn’t just a theological discussion; it’s a vital framework for leaders who want to lead with both uncompromising grace and unwavering justice.
It’s time to stop minimizing harm and start discovering the cosmic power of the Cross to satisfy our deep hunger for justice.
