Ep. 198: Is Reconciliation Always the Right Choice?

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 198, “Is Reconciliation Always the Right Choice?” Kim discusses the importance of understanding the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. King David chose to reconcile with his estranged son Absalom, but it is not healthy for all relationships to be reconciled. Still, others are not reconcilable because at least one party is not willing.

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 14:25-33 with verse 33 as the focal verse:

 

33 So Joab told the king what Absalom had said. Then at last David summoned Absalom, who came and bowed low before the king, and the king kissed him.
