My heart is still processing this moment, and I’m wondering if you are too. When Erika Kirk, in the middle of unimaginable pain, spoke three words — “I forgive him” — the world stopped to listen. Forgiveness like that doesn’t come from us; it comes from Jesus.
In this episode of Strong. Confident. His., we’re talking about:
-
Why forgiveness is not a feeling but a choice
-
The cost of unforgiveness and how it keeps us chained
-
How forgiveness frees us — even if the other person never changes
This isn’t about politics. It’s about following Jesus. Forgiveness when it feels impossible. Forgiveness that shocks the world. Forgiveness that can only come through Him.
Key Scriptures: Matthew 22:37–39, Luke 23:34, Romans 8:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Colossians 3:13
My prayer is that this conversation points you straight to Jesus, brings you peace and reminds you that forgiveness is possible — for others and for yourself.
Maybe someone you love needs this hope today — share it with them.
Remember, You are Strong. Confident. His.
