    The final topic of this project is self compassion. In proximity to faith and faith-based healing spaces, self compassion has been a topic that is not directly communicated when Christians experience lack of forgiveness of self for their past troubles. The battle between self correction and self compassion is often a futile battle for uninformed Christians.

    Self compassion is a “non-critical stance towards one’s inadequacies and failures” (APA, 2023).

    James Wilhoit explains in the article Self-Compassion as a Christian Spiritual Practice that “restoring the Christian Soul begins with a discussion of the virtue of self-acceptance,” further referring to self-hatred as “the traitor within when temptation comes.” He notes our failure to accept ourselves as the “first great barrier to wholeness in Christ” (Wilhoit, pg. 74, 2019).

    While the value of self-compassion has been disputed, Colossians chapter 3 verse 12 states, “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;”(KJV, 1604, Colossians 3:12). This theme will conclude the last episode of this project.
