🎧 EPISODE 40C: I FORGAVE THEM… SO WHY DOES IT STILL HURT?

You forgave them.

You prayed about it.

You gave it to God.

You decided you weren't going to hold it against them anymore.

So why does it still hurt?

Sometimes we think forgiveness is supposed to erase the pain. We expect that once we've forgiven someone, the memories won't sting anymore, the anger will disappear, and we'll immediately feel free.

But what happens when you genuinely forgive... and your heart is still healing?

In this companion episode of Girls Can Pray Too, Kara and Misty continue the conversation on forgiveness and talk about something many Christians struggle to admit:

Forgiveness and healing aren't always the same thing.

We'll talk about the difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, trust, and access—and why forgiving someone doesn't necessarily mean pretending nothing happened.

We'll also discuss what it looks like to keep bringing the wound to Jesus when you've already made the decision to forgive.

If you've ever wondered...

Did I really forgive them if I'm still hurting?

This episode is for you.

You don't have to keep rehearsing the offense.

But you also don't have to fake being healed.

Forgiveness can happen in a moment. Healing may take time. And Jesus can meet you in both.
