You can’t move forward while holding on to what’s behind you. In this episode, we talk about one of the hardest—but most healing—steps in the journey: forgiveness.

Forgiveness isn’t easy. It’s layered. It’s emotional. And it’s not always instant. But it is a decision you can make for your peace, not their comfort.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What forgiveness is—and what it’s not
• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
• How unforgiveness affects your mental, emotional, and spiritual health
• The healing power of letting go—even if they never apologize
• Practical, faith-filled steps to begin the forgiveness process

Reflection Prompts:

• What belief about forgiveness may be keeping you stuck?
• Who (including yourself) might you need to forgive so you can move forward?

Scriptures to Meditate On:

• Ephesians 4:31–32 – “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
• Matthew 6:14 – “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”

💛 Final Encouragement:

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse the pain—it simply refuses to let that pain control your next chapter.

You are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are an Overcomer.
