Forgiveness Isn’t Easy | How to Let Go Without Losing Yourself (with Sherisse Pritchet)

In this episode, I sit down with Sherisse Pritchet for an honest conversation about forgiveness—what it really looks like, why it’s so difficult, and what it takes to walk it out in real life.

We talk about the tension between pain and obedience, and how easy it is to hold on to hurt without even realizing how deeply it’s affecting your heart.

As we unpack this, I reflect on what forgiveness requires—not pretending it didn’t happen, not minimizing the pain—but choosing to release what we were never meant to carry.

Forgiveness is not about the other person. It’s about your freedom.

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, setting boundaries, or trying to move forward without becoming hardened, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

God doesn’t ask us to carry bitterness. He leads us into freedom.

Key Insights:

• Why forgiveness is harder than we admit
• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
• Letting go without denying your pain
• How unforgiveness quietly affects your heart
• Choosing freedom over offense

Until next time, God bless you. Dr. Deborah Owens
