The wound was real — Jonathan Doyle says so with great care. But there’s a difference between grieving what happened to you and building your whole identity around it. In a pastoral, deeply personal episode, he explores how a wound can quietly harden into an identity — kept because it’s familiar, and because it quietly excuses us — and why forgiveness, which can feel like letting them off the hook, is actually the door back into your own life.

“The wounds in your life deserve to be grieved, not worshiped.”
