Episode 99 Forgiving…When It Still Hurts

Forgiveness isn’t just a virtue—it’s a battleground for the soul. In the wake of a national conversation sparked by contrasting public statements—from radical grace to open resentment—we’re diving deep into the meaning, power, and challenge of forgiveness. What does it really mean to forgive? Is forgiveness the same as grace? Does forgiving mean forgetting—or reconciling? And how do we live this out when the wounds still hurt?  In this episode, Jill Kowalski, Tom Rojahn, and Ron Moore walk through the biblical foundation of forgiveness, share personal reflections, and explore what it takes to release the weight of anger and bitterness. Through powerful stories, honest questions, and Spirit-led truth, we invite you to confront the pain, receive God's grace, and make the courageous choice to forgive.
