Bitterness vs. Forgiveness

James Douglas

In this powerful episode of Walking in Freedom, we take a deep dive into one of the enemy’s most subtle and destructive traps: bitterness. Through raw, honest storytelling and the words of Jesus in Matthew 18, we uncover how unforgiveness becomes a spiritual stronghold—and how forgiveness becomes the key to freedom.

You'll discover:

  • Why forgiveness isn’t the same as forgetting
  • Why waiting until you "feel" like forgiving never works
  • How to forgive from the heart—even when it hurts
  • How bitterness spreads and poisons relationships
  • Why the cross of Christ is the only place strong enough to break the chains

Whether you’re struggling to forgive others, yourself, or even God—this episode points the way forward.
