Bitterness has a way of taking root quietly, shaping our hearts, our reactions, and our relationships without us realizing it.
In this episode, we talk about why unforgiveness becomes a prison and how the forgiveness we’ve received through Jesus is meant to change the way we live with others. Many of us carry wounds from broken marriages, betrayal by friends, painful words from parents, disappointment from leaders, or moments when people didn’t show up the way we hoped.
Jesus teaches that forgiveness is not about keeping score, but about reflecting His heart. When forgiveness is withheld, it leads to broken relationships, unhealthy reactions, and a hardened heart. But forgiveness brings freedom - not just for others, but for us.
The gospel reminds us that forgiveness is an inside-out transformation. Forgiven people forgive people. This episode points us to the cross, where we see the heart of Christ-like forgiveness and the freedom it brings.
