This week on Rooted and Raw, we’re getting real about forgiveness—especially the kind we struggle to give ourselves. Why is it so hard to let go of what we’ve done? And how do we actually move forward?

With Easter as the backdrop, we talk about the tension between knowing the truth of the cross and still feeling stuck in guilt and shame. This episode is a reminder that Jesus didn’t just die for “some” of it—He died for all of it. And freedom starts when we finally believe that.
