Christa Season 1 Episode 95

 What does the Bible really say about forgiveness? In this episode with Julie Colbeth, we’re diving into one of the hardest but most important parts of the Christian life—learning to forgive. From those everyday frustrations to deep wounds that feel impossible to let go, we explore what Scripture teaches about grace, forgiveness, and letting go of bitterness.

Reflect as Christa and Julie share their thoughts on Liezl’s powerful story from last week, unpack listener comments, and wrestle with big questions such as: Are we supposed to forgive when we don’t really mean it? What does it actually mean to “heap burning coals” on your enemy?

Join us for this lighthearted but deeply reflective conversation as we navigate the beauty and challenge of extending grace—even when it’s hard.
