If you're tired of the emotional and spiritual heaviness that unforgiveness brings, this episode will show you how to break free and restore your joy.

Right here, you'll discover the profound truth that forgiveness isn't about condoning the hurtful actions—it’s about choosing peace for yourself. Teresa Jordan reveals how forgiving others, even when it's difficult, can release you from the trap of resentment, much like escaping a baited trap in the Greek. She shares inspiring real-life stories of estranged families and how the simple act of forgiving can transform relationships and revitalize your spirit. You'll learn practical steps to invite Jesus into your pain, ask for His help, and take the decisive action to forgive, regardless of your feelings.

We'll break down the biblical foundation of forgiveness in Matthew 18 and the power of choosing forgiveness over harboring resentment. Teresa shares how letting go isn’t just emotional—it’s spiritual warfare that clears the way for God's abundant blessings to flow into your life. Discover how forgiving yourself is equally vital and how this act can set a new course toward peace, joy, and freedom.
