“Circumstances do not control your life. The way you think about them does.” — Lisa Meador

🌿 Episode Summary

In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, Lisa invites listeners into the quiet, courageous work of forgiveness—not as a feeling, but as an act of the will. Building on recent conversations about releasing the victim mindset, she explores what forgiveness is (and isn’t), how it frees us from rehearsing pain, and why it’s not about the offender’s readiness—it’s about our release.

Through the powerful story of Corrie ten Boom and the metaphor of the bell tower, Lisa gently unpacks how forgiveness echoes through our thoughts and emotions, even after we’ve let go. She then bridges spiritual truth with neuroscience, showing how the Mind of Christ is not just a metaphor—it’s a neurological reality.

Whether you’re struggling to forgive or simply weary from carrying the weight of old wounds, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a path forward.

🔑 Key Topics

• What forgiveness is—and what it’s not
• Corrie ten Boom’s bell tower metaphor
• The neuroscience of healing and neural pathways
• Romans 5:5 and the Spirit’s role in forgiveness
• Boundaries, wisdom, and emotional safety
• A closing poem: Give It to Him
