The Power of Forgiveness with Dwayne Staten

Have you ever had problems forgiving everyone but yourself? I know I have, and it is a struggle I deal with a lot. In the second episode of this multi-part series I will discuss accepting, talking and walking in God's forgiveness and forgiving ourselves. Please enjoy the second part of this series!

Show Notes:

“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1  New Living Translation (NLT)

"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead," Philippians 3:13 NLT

“'Come now, and let us reason together,' Says the LORD, 'Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.'" Isaiah 1:18 New King James Version (NKJV)

"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins." Isaiah 43:25 NKJV

When I said "the negative perspective is more contagious than the positive perspective", I got this from a University of Pennsylvania Study by Paul Rozin and Edward Royzman (https://coachfederation.org/blog/are-we-hardwired-to-be-negative-or-positive)

Paul Sozin is an expert in cultural psychology, Dr. Rozin is interested in such diverse topics as the way memories for pleasant events represent the actual experiences of these events, the reasons why the French have a healthier and happier relation to food than Americans do and the greater potency of joys (as opposed to comforts) in contributing to a feeling that one's life is productive, happy and worthwhile.

Ed also teaches in the Department of Psychology and the College of Liberal and Professional Studies at Penn. His research focuses on the role of cost-benefit calculations and affective influence on moral judgement, the nature of moral values, and research methodology. He received a PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. (https://www.sas.upenn.edu/lps/graduate/mbds/faculty/edward-royzman)
