Overview:

In this episode of the Get Trauma Informed Podcast, Coach Liz explores one of the most misunderstood topics in trauma recovery—the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Drawing from biblical truth and lived experience, she unpacks what God truly requires of us when we forgive and how to protect your peace in the process.

Key Takeaways:

  • Forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same. Forgiveness is about releasing emotional pain and resentment, while reconciliation requires accountability, repentance, and safety.
  • Forgiveness is a spiritual detox. It’s a process that cleanses the heart, removes bitterness, and restores clarity so you can move forward in freedom.
  • Boundaries are sacred. You can forgive someone without inviting them back into your life.
  • Practical tools for walking in forgiveness: Pray for peace instead of proximity, write a release letter, and bless your surroundings to replace resentment with gratitude.
  • Faith connection: Forgiveness aligns you with God’s will, but reconciliation mirrors His grace only when both repentance and responsibility are present.

Reflection Prompt:
What are you still holding onto that belongs to God? What would it look like to forgive while still protecting your peace?
