In this powerful episode of Freedom Fridays with Demetri, we dive deep into the true starting point of forgiveness—especially when the pain feels personal, heavy, and justified.

Using Ephesians 4:32, Demetri unpacks God’s call to forgive as we have been forgiven, even when bitterness feels easier to hold onto. Through the story of Jonah and God’s compassion for Nineveh, this episode challenges listeners to confront the difficult truth: forgiveness often begins with obedience before emotion.
