It’s been said that “to err is human; to forgive is divine.” While there’s no doubt the Bible presents God as the gold-standard of what it means to forgive, it likewise calls human beings, in all their error, to pursue and extend the same.
Today on the podcast, Josiah discusses the always-important, often-difficult, and peace-promising topic of forgiveness with Dr. Jim. Together they chat about the peace with God, the peace of God, and the peace with others that a biblical understanding and practice of forgiveness can bring to the lives of even the most offended and hurt individuals.

Jim Rennie is an elder at Oakridge Bible Chapel and an occasional speaker. He is a medical doctor with Christian counselling practice. Shortly after graduation from medical school he and his wife, Kathy, spent 14 years in Zambia as medical missionaries.
Josiah has served the Oakridge Bible Chapel family as one of its elders and one of its pastoral staff members since September 2018, before which he ministered as an associate pastor to a local congregation in the Canadian prairies. Josiah's desire is to be used by God to help equip the church for ministry, both while gathered (edification) and while scattered (evangelization). He is married to Patricia, and together they have five children—Jonah, Henry, Nathaniel, Josephine, and Benjamin.
