Ashley and Bailee dig into the idea of toxic forgiveness — the way churches twist forgiveness into a tool for silencing people, protecting abusers, and keeping vulnerable members in line. They unpack how the language of grace, mercy, and “moving on” gets weaponized to avoid accountability and pressure people into reconciling before they’re ready.
From the subtle emotional manipulation to the outright spiritual coercion, they explore what happens when forgiveness is treated as a demand instead of a choice. They talk about the guilt, the gaslighting, and how the pressure to “forgive quickly” often keeps the same harmful cycles running — and why genuine forgiveness, offered freely and safely, is something entirely different.
