Unrelenting Pursuit

171. Living Offended: The Silent Sabotage


Listen Later

Let’s be honest—offense is heavy. And if we’re not careful, we start carrying things we were never meant to hold. In this episode, we open up a raw, no-judgment conversation about what happens when we live offended—and how it affects our heart, our relationship with God, and our marriage.


We talk about how bitterness doesn’t just isolate you—it starts to shape how you see everything. You begin expecting rejection, even when no one’s trying to hurt you. The lens of past pain starts filtering out present love. And before you know it, the very relationships you crave—closeness, connection, real love—are the ones being pushed away.


Proverbs 19:11 reminds us: “It’s to one’s glory to overlook an offense.” Not because it didn’t hurt—but because freedom matters more than staying stuck. Forgiveness is never about pretending, and it’s not weakness. It’s about laying down the weight and trusting God to be your healer and defender.


If you’ve been feeling distant, guarded, or exhausted from carrying pain you never asked for—this episode is for you. There’s hope, healing, and a way forward.


As always, we would love to hear from you! If you need any additional information about our 2 day Marriage Reboots, Coaching, Speaking Events, or Resource click here.
