What do you do when someone you love hurts you? In this raw and honest episode of the Jesus & Stuff podcast, we open up about a real situation in our relationship where forgiveness was not easy.

Ava shares how she wrestled with God, questioned whether to stay, and ultimately chose grace — not because it felt easy, but because of what Jesus did on the cross. Ross reflects on his own heart shift after messing up and how God used conviction to bring healing.

We talk about:

How to forgive when you’re hurt

Why forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation

Setting healthy boundaries in Christian relationships

How to receive grace without abusing it

What the Bible really says about forgiveness

💬 Scripture References (NIV):

Ephesians 4:32 – “Be kind and compassionate… forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Luke 23:34 – “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

Romans 6:1-2 – “Shall we go on sinning…? By no means!”

🎯 Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or healing from hurt — this episode is for anyone struggling with forgiveness, boundaries, and grace in relationships.
