Description

In this episode, Laura continues her conversation on forgiveness — exploring what it looks like when healing unfolds slowly, safely, and in relationship. Using the story of Peter’s denial of Jesus, she shows that forgiveness isn’t about rushing past pain but creating space for honesty, safety, and repair.


You’ll hear why forgiveness before safety feels like self-betrayal, how healthy shame can open the door to empathy, and why boundaries are a vital part of restoration.


Highlights:



  • Jesus and Peter as a model for slow, relational forgiveness

  • The five stages of healing: Safety → Acknowledgment → Grief → Understanding → Release

  • Forgiveness vs. reconciliation — and why boundaries protect both
