I must admit – I was skeptical. But, I have met many of the people whose testimonies are on YouTube below. And, it is more than just saying the words “I forgive you.” Nobody wants to let the other guy off the hook, but the Bible says we are REQUIRED to do that. It’s not fair. The other guy gets to go free – and yea, Jesus paid the price for my forgiveness, but who wants to pay the price of forgiving that person in your life who did the unthinkable to you.
It does not seem possible that forgiveness does MORE FOR ME than for the other guy. It does not seem possible that the benefits to me are greater than the cost of letting the other person off the hook. But… below are some real, live testimonies of how FORGIVENESS became the MIRACLE that was needed.
Forgiveness:
- Is required by Jesus – if you want to go to heaven
- Does more for me than the other person – no wonder Jesus requires it
- Starts as a decision
- Ends up being a process, and
- Nobody knows how to do it – it takes others who have learned how to do it to help you learn how to do it – so that’s why it is offered as a workshop – for free!
You do not have to be a church goer – just come as you are, and it is for anyone that:
- Is feeling hurt or offended
- Struggling with a relationship
- Grieving a recent loss

Suffered bad things from many different people which produced insecurities, emotional instability, vulnerability, and began making poor decisions including an abusive relationship that sent her down the dark road of depression and was held captive by lies. The fresh start process of “forgiving” a lot of people allowed a rapid transformation from her lowest point in depression to being free 2months later.

Stacey, 3min 40sec
Explains that someone ripped her heart out and stomped on it. She still has the memory of that awful experience. But, Jesus made the pain of it go away, and the bad experience does not control her any more through the obedience of “forgiveness” and making Jesus the goal.

Explains that his step father belittled Don and never told him that he loved him which produced in Don insecurities, anger, rage, alcoholism and drugs. Don’s hurts and wounds caused him to reject others before others would reject Don. After 30 years of misery, “forgiveness” gave Don a fresh start

It’s never too late for a fresh start
As we go through life – the hurts, wounds, and offenses from others and how they have disappointed us can cause our heart to become INFECTED and before you know it, you are on the path of doing the UNTHINKABLE. How has what others have done and the losses that you suffered affected you? Learning how to process those things back out of your heart gives you a FRESH START of freedom – it’s never too late for a fresh start.
