14. How Christ Helps Us Heal & Forgive with Samantha
In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, Whitney interviews Samantha to talk about her powerful journey releasing unforgiveness and bitterness, and the healing that can come through Christ.
Samantha opens up about the pain caused by her father’s actions, how resentment once felt justified, and the moment she realized she couldn’t heal on her own.
Her story is real, redemptive, and a beautiful reminder that even when our hearts feel broken beyond repair, God can bring peace, forgiveness, and emotional freedom.
If You’ve Been Asking Questions Like:
- How do I forgive someone who has hurt me deeply?
- What if I still feel justified in my pain?
- How can I break cycles of bitterness for my children and future generations?
- Is it possible to experience peace after years of emotional hurt?
- What role does faith play in finding real healing and freedom?
Then this episode is for you!
