Proclaim Ministries The Podcast with Mister Brown

We do connection questions in Sunday School and recently we asked kids what their highs and lows were from Thanksgiving break? One kid said, “My high was family got to visit and my low was family got to visit.” How many of you can identify with that? It can be great to be with family, but it can also be tough to deal with at times. Maybe there is something from the past that is still getting to you? Do you have unforgiveness? Forgiveness is important, but what about family forgiveness? In this episode Mister Brown will talk about three main aspects to forgiveness and how that can apply to family, especially during the holidays. 3 Areas of Family Forgiveness   1.

Revisiting last week’s question #3 from the first segment of “Hey, I Got a Question”: “When I sin I feel like I have to punish myself by feeling really bad or hurt myself, even though I know Christ already paid for my sins. What should I do about it?” Or put another way, “I feel like I’m dragging an airplane full of shame.” Remember, you can always contact us through our website proclaimministries.com or by calling or texting the 24-hour Feedback Phone at (530) 535-8121.
