    Forgiving Family Abuse & Escaping Religious Hypocrisy: Stephen McWhirter’s Story | Ep. 85
    2026/03/04
    Today we’re talking about forgiving family members who hurt you and how to hold on to Jesus after religious hypocrisy and abuse. Worship leader and songwriter Stephen McWhirter (known for “Come Jesus Come” and his book Radically Restored) shares his story: growing up with a preacher father, witnessing abuse, spiraling into addiction, and encountering Jesus in a life-changing moment. We also unpack what forgiveness actually is (and isn’t): why forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation, how boundaries can still be biblical, and what it looks like to forgive even when someone never apologizes. If you’ve ever wrestled with church hurt, anger, grief, or the question “Can God restore what was destroyed?” this episode is for you. 00:00:14 - Guest Introduction: Steven McWhirter 00:00:24 - Steven's Early Life and Struggles 00:00:35 - Steven's Journey to Forgiveness 00:00:56 - The Power of Forgiveness 00:10:14 - Steven's Introduction to Music 00:10:21 - Steven's Conversion and Newfound Faith 00:13:12 - Steven's Changed View of God 00:15:46 - Steven's Act of Forgiveness Towards His Father 00:19:08 - Steven's Father's Role in His Life Post-Forgiveness 00:19:40 - Steven's Father's Death and the Power of Forgiveness 00:21:37 - The Importance of Forgiveness and Repentance 00:24:45 - The Misunderstanding of Repentance 00:27:14 - The Challenge of Forgiving Those Who've Hurt You 00:29:44 - Returning to Church After Forgiving His Father 00:31:30 - The Dangers of Misplaced Faith 00:32:35 - The Power of God's Restoration 00:32:47 - The Reality of Sin Within the Church 00:33:35 - The Ultimate Judgment 00:34:53 - The Power of Forgiveness and Restoration 00:36:27 - Steven's Song: Come Jesus Come 00:37:10 - The Inspiration Behind Come Jesus Come 00:40:31 - The Impact of Come Jesus Come 00:40:57 - The Power of Longing for Jesus' Return 00:41:41 - The Reality of God's Providence 00:45:22 - The Importance of Longing for Jesus' Return 00:46:39 - Conclusion 🔔 Don’t forget to: 👍 Like 💬 Comment 📩 Subscribe for weekly episodes OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS: TRUST & WILL: Protect what matters most.
