When Pastor Lisa Reeves called her mother-in-law after 20 years of silence, she didn't expect the phone to drop on the other end, followed by uncontrollable weeping. This raw moment marked the beginning of a healing journey that would transform both women forever—leading not just to reconciliation, but to spiritual rebirth.

In this powerful conversation with Coach Tara, Pastor Lisa reveals how unforgiveness had become quicksand in her life, pulling her deeper into bitterness with every attempt to justify her pain. "A wounded heart filters reality," she explains, describing how unhealed trauma distorts our perception, convincing us we're safer alone or unlovable. The freedom that comes through forgiveness isn't just emotional—it's physical, relational, and spiritual restoration.

Most profound is the revelation that forgiveness doesn't always mean reconciliation. "We're good, I love you, I forgave you, but access is just limited," Pastor Lisa shares, giving listeners permission to establish healthy boundaries while still releasing the poison of resentment. This distinction liberates those who have believed forgiveness requires returning to harmful relationships.

The conversation tackles the challenging truth that many find it easier to forgive others than themselves. The daily practice of self-forgiveness becomes a spiritual discipline, requiring intentional choices to "check your armor" and guard your heart against the lies that wound has told you about yourself.

Whether you're carrying decades of pain or struggling with fresh hurts, this episode offers practical wisdom for breaking free from unforgiveness without minimizing your experience. It's an invitation to holy rebellion—choosing healing over the destructive cycles that have held you captive for too long.

Ready to experience the freedom that comes when you forgive? Listen now and take the first step toward divine alignment in your relationships, beginning with yourself.
