Hello friend,

Twenty years ago, I was betrayed in a way that rocked my world. Someone I trusted and looked up to manipulated and used me in a nasty way.

As a result, I entered a season of anger and bitterness that didn't just affect me.

It did not affect the person who betrayed me.

But it affected everyone else in my life.

One day, a friend sat me down over a cup of coffee and shared that my anger and bitterness weren't hurting the person who hurt me. By holding tight to those emotions, I hurt everyone else who mattered to me.

That conversation began an experience with forgiveness I have been on ever since.

I wish I could tell you that that moment 20 years ago wasn't the only time I have been betrayed.

Or the only time I wrestled with forgiveness.

It wasn’t! I've felt those bitter emotions many times.

But in the time since, I began looking for other resources to teach me and help me overcome that bitterness and learn to forgive.

I found resources—especially those from Christian writers—that were often either naïve and out of touch with reality or all theory and no practice. So, for the past ten years, ever since writing a blog post that went viral on Facebook, I've been trying to share what I've learned from my research and my own experience about forgiveness.

Since that viral blog post, I've also written multiple sermon series and ebooks and created a video course. Most recently, I gathered all of my learning in one place. I wanted to equip people to make the journey from an experience of being hurt, betrayed, and wounded to the experience of being healed and set free.

I am passionate about forgiveness, not because I have figured it out, but because I have found the freedom it brings.

Making my betrayers pay did not make me free.

Seeing the person who hurt me experience pain themselves did not make me free, even when it was the person who hurt me.

Them realizing what they did, apologizing, and asking for forgiveness didn't heal me.

Letting go of the anger, bitterness, and pain and experiencing healing, wholeness, and freedom in that place healed me.
