Forgiveness — The Power to Let Go

Hosts: Reverend Ben Cooper & Simon Pinchbeck
Series: #ChristianStraightTalk
Scripture Focus: Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32

Welcome to this powerful episode of #ChristianStraightTalk with your hosts Reverend Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck. Today, we dive into a topic that affects every believer at some point: Forgiveness.

Let’s be honest—forgiveness is hard. It challenges our emotions, it confronts our pain, and it calls us to release what we often feel justified to hold on to. But the Scriptures don’t offer it as a suggestion—they present it as a command, a divine standard of Christian living rooted in the love and sacrifice of Christ.

In this raw and honest episode, Ben and Simon explore the depth and difficulty of forgiveness from both a biblical perspective and personal life experience. With real talk and spiritual insight, they open up about what it means to let go of offense, heal from past wounds, and live in freedom by walking in true forgiveness.

The episode anchors in Ephesians 4:32, a verse that not only calls us to kindness and compassion, but also reminds us of the forgiveness we have received through Christ. Ben reflects on the grace of God as the foundation for our ability to forgive others, while Simon unpacks how holding on to unforgiveness can spiritually hinder us and poison our purpose.

They don’t shy away from the realities—trauma, betrayal, and injustice—but instead, they shine the light of Scripture on these tough areas and remind us that through Christ, it is possible to forgive even the deepest hurts. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing what’s been done. It means choosing obedience, healing, and freedom.

This episode is not only for those wrestling with bitterness or pain—it's for everyone who wants to grow in grace and maturity. Forgiveness is one of the most radical and life-giving acts a believer can walk in. It’s also one of the most misunderstood.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with:

• A clearer biblical understanding of forgiveness
• Practical ways to start the journey of letting go
• Encouragement to trust God with your healing
• Strength to break the chains of the past

So wherever you are today—driving, walking, or sitting with your Bible—take a deep breath and join us. It’s time to let go and live free. The Bible
