Be a Peacemaker-Learn How To Forgive
10/04/2021
We are called to be peacemakers and reconcilers. Emotional wounds carry over throughout generations. Doing the hard work of peacemaking and reconciling, therefore, will benefit generations of people. And the good news? It’s not an all or nothing proposition. We can experience tremendous benefits in our lives by doing the work and engaging the process.
When we work on those skills in our personal lives, other aspects of our lives benefit as well. Those gifts, and the self-improvement they foster, translate into all of our relationships.
The world is crying out for peacemakers and reconcilers. I’m not going to lie - it is hard work. I feel, quite strongly, that forgiveness is the hardest work of faith. The work of forgiveness and reconciliation dovetail together to bring about peace. This is definitely the hardest work to do. It is also the most impactful.
You don’t have to go it alone. Having a coach while navigating these choppy waters is a game changer.

Hello Friends!
Hi, my name is Melissa Ebken, and I'm so glad you found your way here.
I am at home in the difficult spaces of peoples’ lives, willing to listen and to support those who work to grow themselves. I am a trained coach and have consulted with churches in conflict. Not your stereotypical minister, I embrace the Gospel with joy and laughter as I seek to help those around me grow in faith and understanding, always striving to leave people better than they came. An agent of wholeness, I create a safe space for people, especially those who have been marginalized, where they can understand how ridiculously loved and valued they are by God/Higher Power/Spirit, and to experience the difference that makes in life.
I started the Pursuing Uncomfortable Podcast to share the stories of people who have faced life's most difficult challenges, to inspire you to lean into and overcome your own. It's helpful to know that you're not alone in your struggles and to see how others have navigated similar circumstances. You can listen to it here.
