What does it mean to truly forgive? In this episode, we welcome Dr. Carron Silva, a Catholic wholeness coach and retreat presenter, who shares her powerful journey of healing through the lens of forgiveness. 

Raised amidst the brutal realities of apartheid South Africa, Dr. Carron opens up about the racial and personal trauma she endured. Listen as she reveals how her unwavering faith and the nurturing influence of her grandmother guided her towards becoming an advocate for forgiveness and led to her impactful work, including her book "With You Always: A Journey with Jesus."

We delve into the importance of understanding scripture contextually, practicing imaginative prayer, and the immense impact of letting go of unforgiveness for our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through poignant anecdotes, we reflect on the innocence of children as a beacon of God's love and our potential for transformation.
