In today’s episode we are talking about something every one of us runs into sooner or later: forgiveness.

Maybe you’re carrying a hurt that won’t loosen its grip. Maybe you’re wrestling with guilt and wondering if you’ve asked God “enough” times. Or maybe you’re trying to figure out how to forgive someone without excusing what happened or pretending it didn’t matter.

Today, we’ll anchor in the scriptures and talk about forgiveness as a spiritual act—releasing someone’s debt to God’s justice and reclaiming your peace. We’ll also clarify what forgiveness isn’t: it isn’t forgetting, it isn’t instant trust, and it isn’t the same thing as reconciliation.

In this episode: Ephesians 4:32, Romans 5:1, 1 John 1:9, Luke 17:1, Romans 12:19, Matthew 5:23, Matthew 22:37-39, Psalms 139.
