Episode 49 - Is Forgiveness Selfish? The Many Ways this Practice Benefits You

34 min1 oktober 2025

In this episode, we’re unpacking why forgiveness is actually one of the most selfish acts you can do. We don’t mean selfish in a bad way, we mean it’s life-giving for YOU. When we forgive, we release the weight of resentment, open ourselves to peace, and allow God to handle the justice part.

We talk about:
- What Scripture really says about forgiveness
- Why forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation, or dropping your boundaries
- The physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of letting go
- How choosing forgiveness frees you from what no longer serves you

We’ve both wrestled with forgiveness in our own lives, and we know how hard it can feel. But we also know the freedom that comes when we finally let it go and trust God with the outcome.

If you’re ready to release the hurt and step into wholeness, this conversation is for you. Hit play and join us as we explore how forgiveness isn’t about excusing others—it’s about setting yourself free.
