    What is Forgiveness? Are We Forgiving the Right Way?

    What Is Forgiveness? What is forgiveness… really? In this episode, Leighann reflects on a podcast conversation that challenged her understanding of forgiveness, repentance, and reconciliation. After listening twice — once on a walk and once with pen and paper — she wrestles through the difference between what some call therapeutic forgiveness and what Scripture teaches about biblical (gospel) forgiveness. This conversation explores: The difference between therapeutic and biblical forgiveness Unconditional vs. conditional forgiveness What it means to forgive as God forgives Why repentance matters Where reconciliation fits in How bitterness is healed in Christ Why forgiveness strengthens the body of Christ This episode is thoughtful, scriptural, and deeply practical for anyone navigating hurt, strained relationships, or longing for restoration. 📚 Resources Mentioned Book:Unpacking Forgiveness: Biblical Answers for Complex Questions and Deep Wounds by Chris Brauns👉 [Book Here] Podcast Episode:“When Forgiveness Isn’t Biblical: The Tragic Cost of Ignoring Repentance”Hosted by Teasi Cannon on the True Comfort podcast👉 [Listen Here] 💛 Want to Go Deeper?

    Church Ladies Uncensored: Wrestling Toward Hope With Wendy Pruett

    In this heartfelt and honest conversation, Leighann sits down with Wendy P. to talk about real life—faith that’s been tested, wounds that don’t heal overnight, and the quiet ways God shows up when everything feels fragile. Wendy shares her story with humility and wisdom, reminding us that healing is often a process, not a moment—and that God’s presence is steady even when circumstances are not. This episode is for anyone who has wrestled with disappointment, walked through loss, questioned their faith, or wondered if God is still working behind the scenes. It’s raw, hope-filled, and deeply encouraging. What You’ll Hear in This Episode Wendy’s personal journey and the experiences that shaped her faith What it looks like to trust God when prayers aren’t answered the way you hoped How grief, disappointment, and waiting can deepen—not destroy—your relationship with God The difference between surface-level faith and surrendered faith Finding peace in seasons that feel unresolved Why healing is often layered and ongoing Encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, weary, or unsure of their next step Key Themes Faith in the middle of uncertainty God’s presence during seasons of pain Letting go of control and expectations Learning to sit with God instead of rushing outcomes Hope that grows quietly over time Encouragement Takeaway If you’re in a season where answers feel delayed and clarity feels far away, this conversation is a reminder that God is still near. You don’t have to have everything figured out to be faithful—and you’re not behind because you’re still healing. Suggested Listener Reflection Where am I struggling to trust God right now? What expectations might I need to release? How have I seen God’s faithfulness in small, quiet ways—even recently?
