One Rhyme At A Time

What if the person never apologized? What if they apologized but never changed? What if you forgive them but you still don’t trust them? What if they’re family? What if they’re no longer alive? And what happens when the person you are struggling hardest to forgive is yourself?

In this episode, we’re not going to reduce forgiveness to a cliché. We’re going to unwrap it. We’re going to discuss what forgiveness is. What it isn’t. What it costs. What it can give back. And whether forgiveness always has to include reconciliation.
