“Don’t trust him...Trust Me.” That’s what I heard the Lord say when forgiving was hard, and I was afraid of getting hurt again.

In this Candid Conversation, we’re talking about when it’s hard to forgive, and we go deep on this one! Jason and Ros pick up where our last forgiveness episode left off, sharing straight talk about forgiving a spouse, a loved one, or anyone who has hurt us, even when they never say sorry.
