In this special Good Friday episode of Coached Soul, Dr. Steve Hudgins and Kenya Evelyn explore the deeper meaning of forgiveness, mercy, and emotional healing - and how these timeless principles can transform our relationships and inner world.

Drawing from both spiritual insight and personal experience, they unpack a powerful truth: forgiveness is not about excusing harm or abandoning boundaries - it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of resentment and restoring peace within.
