Week 5: Restoration

October 31, 2021

In this video for Forgiving Challenge: A 40-Day Journey Leading to Freedom, and Author Zach Zehnder visits the historic fort in St. Augustine, FL to teach us an important truth about God’s restorative work. Not only has Jesus paid the price for our sin by dying on the cross, but He also is not angry towards us. He wants the best for us. He seeks to fully restore us. As Zach opens up #Chapter89, we see that Jesus is hyper-focused on not only pointing Peter towards the future, but restoring the original call He placed on his life.

Week 6: Sanctification

November 7, 2021

In this video for Forgiving Challenge: A 40-Day Journey Leading to Freedom, and Author Zach Zehnder visits a historic church in St. Augustine, FL. God’s forgiveness has paid the penalty we should have paid and He has fully restored us to live a life of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. Sadly, though, many never step into the new life that Jesus has offered. True freedom is experienced through sanctification, when we step up into the calling that Jesus has given to us. Zach tells us how Peter’s story ends. In Peter, we see a man who truly lived the free life.

Week 4: Absolution

October 24, 2021

In this video for Forgiving Challenge: A 40-Day Journey Leading to Freedom, and Author Zach Zehnder visits his favorite BBQ restaurant to teach us about the grace of Jesus. Zach reminds us that the death of Jesus on the cross canceled the debt of all sin, of all-time, of all humankind. Amazingly, charcoal only comes up twice in all of the Bible. Both have to deal with Peter. In #Chapter89, Jesus cooks a meal over a charcoal fire for Peter. After this meal, Jesus reminds Peter that He is unafraid to enter into his worst moments with him, and that His grace is big enough to cover the worst of us.

Week 3: Confession

October 17, 2021

In this video for Forgiving Challenge: A 40-Day Journey Leading to Freedom, and Author Zach Zehnder opens #Chapter89. After the disciple Peter sinned, he went back to fishing. But on that day, Jesus visited Peter, and Peter came to Jesus. Zach teaches us a powerful truth about confession. The most important aspect of this practice is not the words in which we say, but simply the fact that Jesus postures Himself to hear our confession. Bring your sin, your sorrow, your guilt, and your shame to Jesus. He will take it all from you.
