S2E22: Forgiveness and Freedom - Healing What Still Hurts

In Season 2 Episode 22 of Centered, we continue the conversation on forgiveness and healing. What if the things that keep surfacing in our lives are not signs of failure, but invitations to deeper freedom? In a culture that teaches us to move on, stay busy, and hide our pain, how do we confront the wounds that still shape our relationships, identity, and trust? Building on this week’s sermon from Luke 17, the conversation explores the connection between forgiveness, faith, and the hidden roots beneath our everyday struggles. The team reflects on Jesus’ invitation to forgive, not as a way of excusing harm, but as a pathway to freedom. Together, they discuss how shame, bitterness, self-righteousness, and unresolved pain can quietly take hold beneath the surface, and how the gospel invites us to bring even our deepest wounds into the presence of God. Along the way, Britt shares how a recent breakthrough helped her finally surrender a painful chapter of her story to Jesus after years of carrying it alone. Michelle reflects on the challenges of slowing down, facing old wounds, and learning to trust God in seasons of uncertainty. The conversation also explores boundaries, healing, friendship, therapy, life groups, and the surprising ways God meets us as we go. If you've ever struggled to forgive, carried pain that keeps resurfacing, or wondered whether real healing is possible, this episode is for you.
