V074 | Christianity IS Transactional 12.05.2025 39min

[About The Episode]We constantly hear many Christian believers describe their faith and devotion as a relationship with God devoid of transactions. But I beg to differ.

[About The Episode]Forgiveness is a concept that manifests itself across many aspects of our lives. We're taught it's a virtue of divine origins and that we should always, always forgive. But when the harm is done, the hurt lingers and forgiving is not what comes to mind. Are we wrong?
