Episode Synopsis

This episode deals with the pain of church hurt. Many people walk away because of wounds inflicted by leaders or fellow believers. But Paul's words in Colossians remind us that forgiveness is essential—not because people deserve it, but because Jesus forgave us first. Research in psychology shows that forgiveness significantly improves mental health, lowering anxiety, depression, and even physical pain. When we hold on to bitterness, we chain ourselves to the past. When we forgive, we release ourselves into freedom. The church is made up of flawed humans, but that doesn't mean God has abandoned it. In fact, He calls us to be agents of healing within it. This episode will guide viewers through acknowledging hurt, releasing bitterness, and re-engaging in community with healthy boundaries. Forgiveness doesn't erase the past—it redeems it, opening the door for personal healing and new beginnings in God's family.
