Hey friends, welcome to the Rhythms for Life podcast where each week we talk about four rhythms that help you reduce stress and anxiety and take charge of your emotional health.

Rest, restore, connect, create.

These ideas come from Rebecca's best-selling book,

Rhythms of Renewal, trading stress and anxiety

for a life of peace and purpose.

So grab your copy, invite your friends,

and let's live in rhythm.

Welcome back, I'm Rebecca.

And I'm Gabe.

We got a big week this week. It's retreat time again. I know our renewal retreat starts this Friday. So many of you are going to be joining us and those of you who can't I know there's plenty of people who would love to do that.

It's one of those things that we are working even now for 2021 to create more opportunities

for people to be a part of these retreats.

We're starting to learn.

I mean, it's just so impactful

when we can get in a room

and start to work through our issues together.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm very excited.

But as we know, Thanksgiving's around the corner, a lot of you are going to be traveling, you're going to be visiting family, which is what makes me so excited about today's topic.

Yeah, we're talking about forgiveness. And I know you hear that term a lot, but have you ever heard it in the frame of how do you forgive when you can't forget?

Because this is what Lisa Turkurst is going to help us with, is the forgiveness that we have to initiate even when somebody hasn't apologized or told you they're sorry.

And I know as we look back at our family history, our family of origin, we look at these old stories that have affected us.
