Forgiveness is never easy, it asks us to let go of hurt, pride, and even the right to be angry. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to forgive and pursue peace, just as God has forgiven us. In this episode, we talk about the challenges of forgiveness, why it matters for our spiritual health, and how choosing grace can bring freedom and healing.

This week we’re leaning into James 1:2–4, reminding ourselves to “consider it pure joy when we face trials of many kinds.” Trials aren’t roadblocks—they’re opportunities for growth, strength, and deeper faith. No challenge is too great for God to overcome, and through every struggle, He is shaping us into who we are meant to be.

That’s why it’s so important to have a firm foundation of faith in God. When life feels shaky, our foundation in Him keeps us steady, hopeful, and confident that every trial has a purpose in His plan.

Starting something new can feel exciting and a little scary. Whether it’s a new school year, job, or season in life, God is right there with you every step of the way.

In this episode, I encourage you to embrace the fresh start and trust God’s timing. He’s doing a new thing in your life — a chance to grow, learn, and shine.

Don’t miss the opportunity to lean into His presence during this orientation phase. It’s the perfect time to build strong foundations and step boldly into your purpose.
