In this episode, Courtney and Amber unpack a powerful and relatable topic: bitterness.
Using the analogy of dark chocolate, they explore how bitterness can quietly take root in our hearts—sometimes obvious, sometimes hidden beneath the surface. While life’s hurts can leave us feeling hardened, this episode reminds us that God desires to heal, restore, and replace bitterness with peace and sweetness.
If you’ve been holding onto resentment, disappointment, or unresolved pain, this conversation will help you identify it—and begin letting it go.
Scripture Highlight
Psalm 147:3 (NIV)
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Key Takeaways
- Bitterness often starts with real pain—but doesn’t have to define you
