Forgiveness is often described as the thing that makes everything better—but what if it doesn’t? In this week’s reflection, James explores forgiveness not as a return to how things once were, but as a form of repair that still bears scars. Drawing on images from the resurrection stories, the Japanese art of kintsugi, and a lived sense of our shared relational field, this episode reflects on misalignment, consequence, and the quiet hope that repair is still worth doing. If forgiveness feels hard, incomplete, or unresolved in your life, you’re not failing. You’re learning how to let go, again and again. And through it all, never forget: you are infinitely precious and unconditionally loved for the gift you already are.
