What Does the Bible Say About Forgiveness? With Courtney Reissig

Angie Elkins and Andrea Lennon are joined by author and Bible teacher Courtney Reissig for a thoughtful conversation on what the Bible really says about forgiveness. Courtney unpacks why forgiveness is rooted in the gospel, how it differs from excusing sin or avoiding consequences, and why trusting God with justice is often central to the healing process. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, they explore forgiveness as a journey—one that releases bitterness, honors boundaries, and reflects our trust in the God who sees, knows, and promises to make all things right.
