Holding on to hurt can be exhausting. When someone has let you down, spoken harshly, or treated you unfairly, it’s easy to keep replaying the situation in your mind. Over time, that resentment can quietly steal your peace and make it difficult to move forward.

In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson explores why forgiveness becomes easier when we stop focusing entirely on the person who hurt us and remember the incredible grace God has shown us. Rather than carrying a mental scorecard of other people's mistakes, Ken reflects on how gratitude for God's forgiveness can soften our hearts, bring peace to our minds, and help us trust God with situations that may never be fully resolved. This episode offers gentle encouragement for anyone struggling to let go of hurt, release resentment, and walk in the freedom that comes from entrusting difficult relationships to God.

Whether you're dealing with a recent disappointment or carrying an old wound that still feels tender, this episode will help you take a fresh look at forgiveness through the lens of God's love and mercy.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How remembering God's grace changes your perspective on forgiveness • Why holding on to resentment often costs more than we realise • Practical ways to trust God when an apology never comes • How prayer can help soften your heart and bring lasting peace • Why forgiveness is often a journey rather than a single moment

Forgiveness is not about pretending the hurt never happened. It's about finding freedom through trust in God.

If you're seeking encouragement in your Christian living, looking for greater peace in everyday life, or wanting to grow in faith and prayer, this episode offers a thoughtful and practical reminder of God's kindness and care.

Please join Ken for this encouraging reflection, and if it speaks to you, consider sharing it with someone who could use a little hope today.
