On this episode of The C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we’re going to war with the world’s favorite sin: unforgiveness. Look around. Our culture is drowning in outrage. Revenge is entertainment. Bitterness is sold as strength. But the cross declares a different kind of power: forgiveness.
This episode isn’t about cheap grace or easy platitudes. It’s a full-frontal assault on the unforgiveness that has poisoned the Church and paralyzed its witness. We’re diving deep into the radical, non-negotiable command of Christ to forgive as we have been forgiven.
From Erica Kirk’s world-stopping forgiveness of her husband’s killer to Tim Allen’s 60-year battle with bitterness, we’ll see what happens when believers choose obedience over offense. The world says get even. Jesus says get holy. Which will you choose?
Buckle up. This one is raw, real, and rooted in the radical mercy of the cross.
"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." – Colossians 3:13
Episode Highlights:
05:32 - Forgiveness isn't weakness, it's warfare. When you forgive, you tear down strongholds. You silence Satan's accusations. You declare that the blood of Jesus is stronger than the offense that wounded you. That's why unforgiveness is one of Satan's favorite weapons. It keeps believers bitter, divided, and totally powerless.
16:24 - Many churches don't talk about forgiveness anymore. It's not trendy, it doesn't sell... The modern world tells you to cancel your enemies. Christ tells you to bless them. The world says, destroy your opponent. Christ says, pray for them. The world says, get even. Christ says, get holy. Forgiveness is hard because it's holy.
37:23 - One of the biggest misunderstandings about forgiveness is that it equals reconciliation. It does not. Reconciliation takes two repentant hearts. Forgiveness only takes one obedient one. You can forgive and still set boundaries. You can forgive and still walk away. Forgiveness is about your heart, not their reaction.
