Wow. Think of it. After all, you have questions! You’ve been known to have a problem or two. It would be great if you could find the answers you’re looking for. You crack open that Bible a couple of times but just as quickly shut it. You want to love digging into Scripture. Instead, you find it intimidating, judgmental, and maybe even unbelievable. Let’s change that. Hi! I’m Anna Moore Bradfield, an award-winning and bestselling author, Christian speaker, and facilitator of workshops and events. I’ve been where you are. Plenty of times. I’ve questioned if God cared at all about what I was going through. Did he even have a plan for my life? When I got up the guts to tell him to his face, I found that he had very broad shoulders and that he could take anything I dished out. Then he began revealing himself to me. In this podcast, we’ll share: • Stories from the Bible that reveal God’s interactions with His people, confirming His desire for intimate, consistent, and loving relationships. • Stories from everyday life that testify to…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:21:47.747384+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580"},"episode":{"title":"075 | When Redemption Finds You: Can God Forgive the Thing You Can't Forget?","slug":"075-when-redemption-finds-you-can-god-forgive-the-thing-you-can-t-forget","published_at":"2026-02-03T06:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580/075-when-redemption-finds-you-can-god-forgive-the-thing-you-can-t-forget","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580","url":"https://godspowerstories.podbean.com/e/when-forgiveness-finds-the-unforgivable/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/t2sc9zvcixts7f9w/075_When_Redemption_Finds_Youaaa6t-523zby-Optimized.mp3","summary":"What if the thing you keep replaying in your mind—that mistake, that failure, that moment you wish you could undo—is exactly what God wants to redeem? In this emotionally raw episode of the Faith Through Fiction mini-series, I reveal the heart behind Lunacy, book two of The Lambswool Chronicles. This isn't just a story about David and his brother Eliab—it's about the devastating cost of hatred, the sacred weight of confession, and the miraculous truth that God's grace extends even to what feels unforgivable. I share how writing about David's poor choices and Eliab's murderous rage forced me to process my own need for grace, the ways I tried to earn what's already freely given, and pain from years ago that everyone else has forgotten but still haunted me. If you've ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you from God's purposes, whether your mistakes are too big for mercy, or whether you'll ever feel truly clean again—this episode is proof that redemption isn't about finding God, it's about God refusing to give up on you. Key Takeaways 1. It's One Thing to Believe God Can Forgive You—It's Another to Accept It I open with this hard truth: intellectual belief in God's forgiveness and emotional acceptance of it are two different battles. Many believers can quote 1 John 1:9 about God's faithfulness to forgive, but still carry shame like a shadow companion. The episode reveals that the gap between knowing and receiving grace is where most Christians get stuck. Through David and Eliab's stories, listeners see characters who wrestle with the same disconnect—and discover that accepting forgiveness is itself an act of faith that honors God's completed work on the cross. 2.
