Hard Truth About Forgiving People Who Hurt You (ft. Christine Caine)
In this video, Christine Caine talks about how followers of Jesus can grow during tough times by trusting God, choosing forgiveness, and learning from the olive tree’s meaning in the Bible. She uses Scripture, including ideas familiar to Jesus Calling readers, to explain what forgiveness really means, how to forgive others and yourself, and why forgiveness does not always lead to reconciliation. This open conversation gives encouragement and inspiration to anyone facing challenges, wanting to grow in faith, or looking for healing through prayer and trust in God. Grounded in Christian teaching and practical wisdom, her message is both uplifting and useful for daily life.
