We know we're supposed to forgive others, but shouldn't they have to apologize first? Even if I've said I've forgiven them, what does that look like practically?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through what true biblical forgiveness looks like. We breakdown what God's forgiveness looks like and then jump into what it looks like practically for Christians to forgive others. We also dive into the consequences of bitterness and resentment and why its so important to let go of those feelings and live in freedom.
