Forgiveness sounds great—until someone actually hurts you. In this episode of The Thoughtful Christian Podcast, Tonya Lee gets honest about betrayal, bitterness, and why forgiving isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about getting free. Because sometimes forgiveness feels less like a peaceful Hallmark moment and more like, “Seriously God? You want me to let them off the hook?” If you’ve ever wrestled with letting go when your heart and your brain can't let go, this conversation will bring both truth and hope. Forgiveness isn’t easy. But it is possible.
