How do you forgive someone who has deeply hurt you, especially when they haven't apologized, or their behavior hasn't changed?

In this episode, Lori talks with Toni Hebel of Forgiving Forward Ministries about the difficult work of forgiveness, the power of shame, and how God's grace enables us to love a spouse who has caused deep emotional wounds.

Toni reminds us that forgiveness does not give someone permission to continue in sin. Instead, forgiveness allows us to release that person into God's hands and trust Him with the outcome.

You'll also hear how shame can affect both the wounded spouse and the spouse who has caused the hurt. Toni shares an important truth: "Shame gives shame." When someone continually belittles, condemns, or puts others down, they may be speaking from the shame they carry.

If you are struggling with resentment, waiting for an apology that may never come, or praying for a spouse who is carrying the weight of their own choices, this conversation will encourage you.

Forgiveness doesn't erase what happened. It doesn't call sin acceptable. But through God's grace, forgiveness can loosen the grip that another person's actions have on your heart.
