Helping you to practice forgiveness on a daily basis...
Helping Christians to Forgive Easily and Forgive Frequently
WHY IS IT SOMETIMES HARD FOR YOU TO PRACTICE FORGIVENESS....EVERY NOW AND THEN...MONTHLY...DAILY AS A GODLY HABIT?
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ -
You may have heard sermons on forgiveness and read Bible verses on the need to forgive. Jesus told Peter that you have to forgive seventy times seven (Matthew 18.22). Yet, you are finding it hard to forgive.
Let's go on a journey together to understand why it may be hard for you to forgive and then look at how you could start the process of forgiving someone.
Matthew 13.18
Is the soil of your heart the right type of soil to receive the message of forgiveness...are you ready to understand its wider Kingdom implication for your life and the lives of your families ...and put it to practice regularly in your life?
As a Christian for over 30 years, even with the right soil in my heart, I was struggling with the ability to forgive. I went through a deeper journey of understanding with Christ to uncover the spiritual truth behind my struggle to forgive...
For a long time, as a Christian, I was confused about my "forgiven" identity in Christ. I did not fully understand and deeply appreciate that Christ had paid a very high price to forgive me of my sins...past...present...and future.
So, how do we FLIP THE SWITCH and deeply understand and appreciate that we were first FORGIVEN by Jesus and therefore need to FORGIVE others?
Power of Storytelling to describe your identity powerfully , convincingly, and memorably
When you describe your identity through a story (words) and combine that with a picture/pictures, it is 22 times more effective in terms of helping you to remember the story in rich detail and for a long period of time
(Paul J Zak, Harvard Business Review, Oct’2014 /Dr.J Aaker, Stanford Business School, Nov'2023).
The master storyteller, Jesus Christ, uses the power of stories (Parables - e.g. Parable of the Sower, The Prodigal Son) to illustrate Kingdom truths and to hide several layers of meaning within His parables.
The storytelling (words + pictures) framework is incredibly powerful in connecting your HEART and MIND.
Cultures around the world pass on important lessons through storytelling...
Power of Christ + Framework of Storytelling = Your Identity in Christ that deeply touches your
heart and mind!
Power of Christ + Framework of Storytelling = Your Identity in Christ that deeply touches your
heart and mind!
CLARITY OVER YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST AS IT PERTAINS TO FORGIVENESS...
Imagine a wall in your heart and mind that is labelled “Forgiveness”...
In this wall, there are several stories captured as picture frames. The story (words) and the picture in the frame represents instances in your life when you forgave others (family, friends, colleagues, other people)...
CONFUSION OVER YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST AS IT PERTAINS TO UN-FORGIVENESS
Imagine a wall in your heart and mind that is labelled “Unforgiveness”...
In this wall, there are several stories captured as picture frames. The story (words) and the picture in the frame represents instances in your life when you did not easily forgive/ are unable to forgive others (family, friends, colleagues, other people).
DEEP CLARITY REGARDING YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST - FROM UNFORGIVENESS TO FORGIVENESS
Power of Christ + Framework of Storytelling = Your Identity in Christ that deeply touches your
heart and mind = Starts to help you to forgive...forgive more frequently...forgive more easily

ABOUT YOUR STORY HEALING COACH
GEORGE EAPEN
Hi! George Eapen here.
I have been a Christian for over 30 years. Over the last 10 years, I have been walking even more closely with Christ as I have come to a deeper understanding of my insufficiency and my need for Christ on a daily basis.
I have worked for global companies and startups as a storyteller, marketer, and communication coach for over 20+ years. You can read more about my storytelling coaching company (Next Dimension Story) here. From a professional point of view, I have seen the power of storytelling to touch hearts and minds and convince customers to purchase a product or service. Brand association is closely tied to storytelling and if you think about a certain brand of product that you use, there is a story about that product that is unique to you.
Having gone through multiple challenges across every dimension (family, finances, career, business, children's health, marriage etc.) of my life, I have learnt to lean on Christ more and more and extensively catalogue my victory moments in Christ through my own Story Healing experiences.
I have taken the time to journal and mentally store my victory moments in Christ. I then use these victory moment stories to craft my personal testimonials of God's goodness and grace across every aspect of my life, thereby actively sharing the Good News to everyone I interact with. I have also started to use my personal victory moment stories within the sermons I preach at my local church. Check out one of my sermons here. Just search for my name and I hope and pray that you are encouraged by the Word of God.
I am passionate about sharing the Story Healing framework with you to equip you to add this powerful framework to your spiritual armour as you run the race that is set before you (Hebrews12.1 - And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us).
