328: Fresh Starts and Forgiveness: How Bitterness is Holding You Back

In this episode, Corrine and Neil talk about what it takes to both offer and experience a fresh start. They share personal stories about letting go of bitterness, learning to forgive, and finding peace through the atonement of Jesus Christ. But they also talk about the other side of the equation: how real change happens when someone chooses to do the work, how repentance leads to transformation, and why boundaries and discernment are essential along the way.You’ll hear why C.S. Lewis’s reminder that “to be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable” resonates so deeply, and how Corrine’s own recovery journey taught her the freedom that comes not just from forgiving, but from truly changing. Together, they explore why forgiveness doesn’t mean going back to toxic situations—but it does mean creating space for God’s grace, healing, and the possibility of lasting transformation.Whether you’ve been hurt, are working through regrets of your own, or just want to understand how change really happens, this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and encouragement to embrace the miracle of fresh starts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
