Most of us are so used to notifications and alerts, pings and rings that even if we don't want to be on our phones so much, we don't know how to change it. Yet the constant flow of information is actually harming our brains, relationships, and emotional well-being, even if we don’t realize it.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest choices we face—but it’s also one of the most powerful. Today’s guest, author Debbie Barr, reveals how forgiving others isn’t just an act of obedience to God—it’s a gift to ourselves.

Many people don’t realize this, but we pay a high price to our overall health when we cling to resentment, bitterness, and thoughts of revenge. So, through a blend of science, psychology, and Scripture, Debbie unpacks the life-changing benefits of forgiveness.

Plus, she'll give you practical steps to start moving forward, helping you understand why “forgive and forget” is a myth, what to do when painful memories resurface, and why waiting for the “right emotions” before forgiving is a mistake.

So, if you’re struggling to forgive, wondering if you’ve truly forgiven, or simply need encouragement on your journey, listen in! You're about to get a taste of the freedom that comes with forgiveness.
