In Part three of our series on a theological perspective to the family relationships, Dr. Thompson discusses grace, better known as forgiveness. Over the course of this episode, he will outline why families need to develop in an atmosphere of grace, rather than legalism, and settling scores.
Episode Segments:

Relationship Management: The Pillar of Grace Grace simply means to forgive and be forgiven. God has forgiven us all. And yet, even though he has given us His grace, we are unable to bring that into our family structures. That is becoming a huge problem.
Relationship Management: Missing Forgiveness Dr. Thompson laments the absence of grace in today’s family structure. He explains why families need to develop in at atmosphere of grace, and not legalism.
Relationship Management: Sharing Grace We are able to forgive, because we are forgiven. However, people nowadays seem to be more about keeping track and settling scores rather than forgiving others. And Dr. Thompsons says that is why relationships are dwindling.
