The Truth About Forgiveness | Episode 59

Forgiveness is central to our faith, yet it's often misunderstood or misused.

We tend to move on from the concept without fully internalizing it, making it harder to extend to others. True forgiveness requires naming the wrong, recognizing our own need for grace, releasing the debt, and aiming for reconciliation—even when it feels impossible.
