Episode Title: Forgiveness in the Wreckage |  With Guest Leona Morelock

What happens when you are the one who needs forgiveness?

Last week on the podcast we talked about forgiveness- what it is, what it isn’t, and how Jesus calls us to release the debt. But forgiveness becomes much more personal when we’re the ones replaying our worst moments.

In today’s episode, Leslie sits down with author and women’s ministry leader Leona Morelock to talk about belonging, failure, addiction, and the road back to grace.

Leona shares the story behind her memoir, He Met Me in the Wreckage, including her struggle with alcoholism, the shame that followed, and the healing that came through forgiveness, from God, from others, and eventually from herself.

Together, we explore what it looks like to rebuild a life after failure and how God meets us in our most broken places.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you… this conversation is for you.

In This Episode We Talk About

• Why so many women feel the need to blend in just to belong
• How shame keeps us stuck in our past
• The impact addiction can have on identity and relationships
• Why self-forgiveness is often the hardest step
• How God can use the very thing you once wanted to hide
