Finding your “Why” behind addiction is a crucial step—but it’s not the end of the healing journey. In this episode, we explore why forgiveness is essential for healing the core wounds, shame, and beliefs that drive addictive patterns. Christian forgiveness is not denial, forgetting, or forced reconciliation; it is a Spirit-empowered release that names real harm and entrusts justice to God. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings, we show how mercy received in Christ becomes the power to release resentment without minimizing pain. This conversation invites you to move from insight into lasting freedom through gospel-shaped forgiveness.
