Welcome to a bonus episode before season 4 starts.

There are people in our lives that we are probably mad at, that have done nothing to us. This week we discuss a moment I had where I realized I was upset with someone because I was too prideful to apologize for hurting them. I fought God when he told me to apologize, but once I was obedient something unexplainable happened. A weight and burden was lifted off me and I felt a sense of freedom.

This episode reminds us to take an introspection of ourselves and apologize when necessary but also forgive when necessary. Why you mad sis? Is your anger displaced? Are you mad at the person who did you wrong, or are you really mad at yourself?
