Justice isn’t about payback—it’s about redemption.
Romans 12:19 reminds us to leave vengeance to God, but that’s easier said than done. When we’re wronged, the desire for immediate justice can be overwhelming. Yet, God’s discipline is rooted in mercy, shaping us for our good.
In this podcast, Angie and Susie explore how surrendering control and trusting His process can transform our pain into purpose. Join us as we dive into what it truly means to let go and let God work.
Romans 12:19 (NIV)
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
