BETRAYAL (Part 3 of 4) | Forgiveness Without Forgetting

One of the greatest myths about forgiveness is that it means excusing what happened. It doesn't. In Part 3 of our Betrayal Series, Lisa Janes and Chaplain Cheryl tackle one of the most difficult questions people face after betrayal: How do I forgive someone who deeply hurt me? Together, we explore the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, why forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, and how releasing bitterness creates space for healing and freedom. In this episode, we discuss: • What biblical forgiveness really means • Why forgiveness is not approval of the offense • The difference between forgiveness and trust • Why reconciliation requires more than forgiveness • Letting go of bitterness without denying your pain • Common misconceptions that keep people stuck • How forgiveness becomes a pathway to freedom Forgiveness does not erase the wound. It doesn't rewrite history. It doesn't remove accountability. But it can break the power that betrayal continues to hold over your heart. If you've struggled with anger, resentment, disappointment, or the question, "Why should I forgive?" this conversation offers practical wisdom, biblical insight, and hope for the healing journey. 🎙️ Laughing with Lions Where Freedom Roars, Women Rise, and Untold Truth Resides. 📧 Connect with us: [email protected] 👍 Like, Follow, Subscribe, and Share with someone who needs encouragement today. #LaughingWithLions #Betrayal #Forgiveness #HealingJourney #EmotionalHealing #InnerHealing #Freedom #WomenOfFaith #ChristianPodcast #BrokenTrust #HeartHealing #SpiritualGrowth #LettingGo #Hope #Recovery
