Toxic Forgiveness

from Lo-fi Faith Hosted by Mike Dawson and James Mello

“Just forgive them” can sound spiritual—but whose interests does it serve?In this episode, Mike and James explore what happens when churches value a comfortable community over one that takes the experiences of hurt people seriously. They examine the pressure to forgive before the hurt has been addressed, how biblical language can be used to shut down difficult conversations, and why saying sorry doesn't automatically entitle someone to a clean slate.
