In Part 2 of our forgiveness conversation, we explore the deeper layers of what it really means to forgive — not just others, but places, seasons, systems, and even ourselves. Forgiveness isn’t forgetting or pretending it didn’t hurt. It’s courage. It’s healing. It’s taking your life back with God leading the way.

We walk through Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s four-step process of forgiveness — telling the story, naming the hurt, granting forgiveness, and renewing or releasing — and unpack why true closure doesn’t come from the other person, but from releasing the burden into God’s hands.

We also talk about self-forgiveness, often the hardest of all. God’s forgiveness includes you — fully and finally. When He sends you away in peace, He sends your shame away too.

This episode is for the woman holding onto something heavy, longing to breathe again.
 May this conversation help you take one small, brave step toward peace.

“Choosing curiosity and connection rather than walking away or shutting down… is choosing courage.” — Brené Brown

Note: In this episode, Pris mentions Daring Greatly, but the Brené Brown book she’s actually reading (and referring to) is Rising Strong. Both are powerful — but Rising Strong is the one connected to today’s themes.
