#518 – Forgiving When You Can’t Forget

Listen Later

Forgiveness isn’t forgetting. And it definitely isn’t approval. But it is freedom—and in this talk, we walk through how to forgive what still hurts, especially when the memory won’t let go.

In this video, we explore:

  • Why forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened
  • How to process pain with God instead of pretending it away
  • What it means to forgive again and again—even when the feelings don’t follow

    • Through Scripture, honest stories, and practical wisdom, you’ll discover how to finally lay down the burden of bitterness and experience the peace God wants for you. If you’ve ever wrestled with resentment or asked, “How do I forgive when I can’t forget?”—this is for you.
