E145 Why is Offense so Hard to Recover From?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you have experienced offense, you know how difficult it can be to recover—especially when the hurt comes from someone you trust. As imperfect people, even those we respect and look up to can cause deep pain.
In this episode, we explore how our heart characteristics, emotions, and attachments contribute to experiences of offense, and offer encouragement and validation, highlighting a pathway toward reconciliation and healing.
🔗 LIVE on May 7th: "The Pain of Disappointment: When Leaders Let Us Down"
Relational disappointment touches all of us. But when those we trust — especially leaders — let us down, the pain can feel confusing, disorienting, and hard to process.
Join Chris Coursey for a 3 1⁄2‑hour event designed to help you understand and navigate the pain and offense that surface when leaders fail us.
