For Christianity and many other religions, forgiveness is at the core of the spiritual life. We are taught that if we do not forgive, we will not be forgiven. We are reminded that the measure we use to measure others will be used to measure us. Despite the importance of forgiveness to the spiritual life, the scriptures are curiously devoid of practical guidance on how to forgive and how to overcome psychological and spiritual obstacles to forgiveness. In a multidisciplinary context, Jesus the Heart Whisperer provides an integrated approach to the practice of forgiveness.
In the following realms, Jesus the Heart Whisperer will help you:
Theological
Come to an understanding of the relationship between forgiveness and resurrection. Explore the connection between God-Image and forgiveness.
Psychological
Understand forgiveness in the context of psychological development, including attachment, psychosocial development, and schema-formation.View forgiveness as it unfolds in the context of neurobiology.
Spiritual
Experience the connection between living the beatitudes and forgiving. Develop a structured, scripturally-based approach to prayer that will guide and assist in the forgiveness process.
​
Literature/Movies
Witness the process of forgiveness as embodied in great literary works. Deepen your understanding of forgiveness through an encounter with contemporary movies such as The Horse Whisperer, Star Wars, and Les Miserables.
Psycho-Spiritual Integration/Therapeutics
Experience the power of Jesus’ resurrection by encountering God in the weak spots of our personal hurts. Grow in spiritual and psychological maturity by learning a “heart whisperer” approach to forgiveness.
