Although I have been in full time ministry for over thirty years, I am just beginning to recognize the stronghold unforgiveness has on one’s life. Acknowledging deep rooted heart wounds and walking through the protocols of forgiveness, I was able to forgive those, whom in my mind, I justified and categorized  as “unforgivable”.  Already God has allowed me the privilege of helping numerous others walk through the protocols of forgiveness. Forgiving Forward is crossing over cultural differences, generational differences, social differences and pointing us back to the heart of the love of God.

Through this course, we have witnessed those that have been deeply hurt and wounded by others, have found true freedom, healing, and restoration through Forgiving Forward.  Because it is a lifestyle, it sets us free from the turmoil of unforgiveness and teaches us how to lean on the Holy Spirit to do His work through us.

Nearly three decades of living in the torment of unforgiveness left me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually tired and depleted.  I sought out a Forgiving Forward small group at my church to help me deal with my unforgiveness.  What I learned in Forgiving Forward was priceless!  When I forgave, it was as if something dislodged inside and all those years of pain left me.  Now that I know what the Bible says about forgiveness and I have learned how to forgive through the Forgiving Forward curriculum, I am confident that I can live a life of forgiveness first.

My first experience with Forgiving Forward was through the Forgiving Forward Video Series that our life group did in our Sunday night studies. WOW, what an impact it made on each and every one of us to realize how much unforgiveness was ruling our lives. In the last 6 years I have used it in small groups with couples, ladies, and for weekend retreats. God gives us a never-ending opportunity to expose others to the freedom He provides through forgiveness.

I personally have seen in more than one hundred women, the miraculous impact of God’s Word through the Forgiving Forward Home Edition Course! These Believers all said they were unable to forgive and it was dramatically affecting their mental and physical health. Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, divinely inspired in this teaching, they were able to forgive from their heart and receive amazing freedom!

I was introduced to this series during a season in my life when I was paralyzed with depression, anger, bitterness and hopelessness.  I didn’t realize this was all self-inflicted bondage.  Pastor Hebel’s powerful message and guidance through biblical truths opened my eyes and my heart to the ever present power of the cross. Thank you Pastor Hebel and Toni for your ministry.  Thank you Jesus!

Forgiving Forward is life changing. It gives you the practical tools to recognize unforgiveness and experience forgiveness. These are tools the enemy wants you to be unaware of, even though you may have been in church all of your life. Torment is real in the life of believers. Be done with it. We only have one life on this earth. Don’t miss out on the joy of it!

I have been through the Forgiving Forward Course and the Coaching Intensive. It is an amazing resource which teaches you how to forgive those who have hurt you and also how to coach others through forgiveness. It is a great tool you do not want to be without!

That weekend spent with the Forgiving Forward teaching was a significant part of my journey—the journey of finding Christ in me and leaving behind my selfish and prideful ways. I remain eternally grateful!

Incredible! Unbelievable! Beautiful! My wife’s text at 10:15 pm said, “Wow, wow, wow. I have truly been kissed by Jesus!” Praise God for you both. Thank you so much!

I recently met with a young woman who had been raped at the age of 10. She couldn’t forgive what happened, nor get past the pain and torment of the event. Through the Forgiving Forward DVD course, she was able to forgive the boy that raped her! She is now walking in freedom!
