Descripción

Unforgiveness doesn’t stay contained. It spreads. In this episode, we confront what scripture actually says about forgiveness through Philemon and Matthew 6:14–15 and 18:21–22. It’s not just about “letting things go,” it’s about obedience, humility, and reflecting the mercy we’ve already been given. Unforgiveness will take root in your heart and begin to affect your relationships, your peace, and even your intimacy with God. The longer it goes unaddressed, the deeper it grows. And while we often justify holding on to hurt, Jesus makes it clear: forgiveness is not optional for those who have been forgiven. This episode challenges us to stop excusing it, stop avoiding it, and start dealing with it. Because the freedom you’re praying for may be on the other side of the forgiveness you’re resisting. I also open up about my own journey and how I held onto unforgiveness for years towards people who said they loved me but took advantage of my vulnerability. We go there in this episode...so come ready.
