The Bible Says “Forgive”… But You Still Feel the Pain

Here's something I wish someone had told me sooner: forgiving someone and your body no longer reacting to them are two completely different things. You can sincerely release someone from what they owe you and still tense up when you hear their name. That's not bitterness. That's memory.

In this episode, I'm getting honest about how scripture on forgiveness is often used in ways that create more shame than freedom, what forgiveness actually is and isn't, and why your nervous system responding to old pain doesn't mean your heart is in the wrong place.

Want help taking the next step?

If this episode helped you recognize some of the thoughts, emotions, or patterns keeping you stuck, you don't have to stop with simply understanding what's happening. 

Here are two ways I can help you take the next step:

1. Untangle Your Thoughts is my self-paced course designed to help Christian women understand what’s happening beneath their thoughts and emotions, identify the patterns keeping them stuck, and learn practical tools to begin responding differently all while keeping God at the center of the process.

Inside, I walk you step-by-step through the process so you don't have to keep wondering, “Okay, but how do I actually change this?”
