Let Go of Bitterness: Choosing Forgiveness and GracePart of the Travel Light Summer Bible Study Series

Bitterness doesn’t protect your heart, it imprisons it. And forgiveness? It’s not about forgetting, it’s about freedom.

In this week’s episode of Travel Light, we look at Paul’s call in Ephesians 4:31-32 to put awayresentment and embrace the radical grace of Christ. If you’re carrying a wound, a memory, or a name that still stings, this is your invitation to begin healing.

Let go. Not because they deserve it, but because Christ has forgiven you, and your soul is worth more than the pain you’ve carried.
