274| The Power of Forgiveness for Christian Healing with Kathleen Johnson

Forgiveness can feel tender, especially when you've already prayed about the same pain for years and still feel the sting of what happened.

In this conversation, I'm sitting down with Kathleen Johnson to talk about the power of forgiveness for Christian healing—not as a religious phrase, not as pretending it didn't hurt, and not as forcing yourself to trust someone who hasn't rebuilt trust.

Kathleen shares how unforgiveness can become a block in our spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical healing. We talk about what forgiveness is, what it is not, and why releasing unforgiveness can open the door for God to reach the wound we've been trying so hard to protect.

Key Takeaways:

• Forgiveness is not the same as trust
• Forgiveness does not mean giving up on justice
• Forgiveness does not mean what happened was okay
• Unforgiveness can keep us tied to the person or pain we're trying to move past
• God can heal in layers, even when the process takes longer than we expected
• When God heals us, our story can become part of how we help someone else heal too

Listen now and ask God if there is any place where unforgiveness has been acting like protection, but is actually keeping the wound closed off from His healing.
