"Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you." — Luke 6:28
How do you forgive someone who keeps hurting you? And what does it actually look like to love people who have treated you unfairly?
In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Shaylee for a deeply honest conversation about forgiveness, difficult relationships, and the challenge of living differently as followers of Jesus.
Together, they unpack Jesus' radical teaching in Luke 6:28, sharing personal experiences of friendship breakdowns, church hurt, unanswered apologies, and the ongoing journey of releasing pain to God. They also explore the difference between forgiveness and unhealthy boundaries, reminding us that choosing grace doesn't mean ignoring wisdom.
If you're carrying the weight of broken relationships, struggling to let go of hurt, or wondering how to respond when someone has mistreated you, this episode offers biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and the hope that God can heal even the deepest wounds.
Forgiveness isn't always easy—but with God's help, freedom is possible.
