A topic that’s at the heart of the Christian life but is often misunderstood is the idea of forgiveness.

Jesus teaches us to forgive seventy times seven and to love our enemies, but does that mean we have to put up with abuse, mistreatment, or harm? Is forgiveness the same as enabling someone to continually hurt us? And what does it look like to set healthy, Christ-honoring boundaries while still walking in grace and mercy?

In this episode, we’ll explore what the Bible says about forgiveness and how it intersects with wisdom, justice, and self-respect. We’ll talk about what forgiveness really means—and what it doesn’t—and how we can honor God by forgiving others without sacrificing the boundaries that protect our hearts, minds, and well-being.
