Real Faith Forgiveness: Trust in God When They Don’t Know They Hurt You (God’s Perspective for Faith Growth)

Unforgiveness can quietly reshape your life with God—especially when the other person doesn't even realize they hurt you. In this episode of Perspectives into Practice, Jessica sits down with her friend Lori to talk about real faith forgiveness: releasing someone, not because they apologized or changed, but because trust in God means choosing obedience so He can set you free.

Lori shares her story as a stroke survivor and how misunderstood seasons, identity loss, and being overlooked created emotional barriers that slowed her growth in faith. Together, they unpack God's perspective on forgiveness—why it's often less about the other person and more about your walk with God, your freedom, and your willingness to stay close enough to hear what He's asking.

You'll also hear practical faith encouragement for what forgiveness looks like in everyday walks of life when feelings keep pulling you back: staying in community, prayer, time in Scripture, reminders that anchor your mind, and writing things down to bring the hurt into the light without dismissing it. This is faith growth and life growth in action—choosing a walk with God that's led by His plans, not your pain.

Scripture referenced:

• Ephesians 4:32

• Colossians 3:13
