Let me be honest right from the start. I didn’t want to record this week. After the events of last week, the idea of forgiveness felt like a joke—and not the funny kind. Times like now, when anger, disappointment, and exhaustion are hanging heavy in the air, it seems impossible to even consider letting go of our pain. After all, why should we forgive when the world seems so set against us? When every new headline feels like another kick while we're already down?
Sisters, I hear you. We already know forgiveness is hard. And right now, it’s tough. Many of us woke up after this election feeling betrayed, realizing we haven't been heard, and living in a country that doesn't value us. The last thing we want to do is forgive those who disregard our lives and well-being. And yet, somehow, we’re called to do just that. But before you click away, hear me out: forgiveness doesn’t mean giving anyone a free pass. It doesn’t mean ignoring what’s wrong or accepting injustice. Forgiveness is about freeing ourselves.
