About this listen

Forgiveness is more than saying, “I’m over it.”

In this episode, Pastor Mike Dean continues unpacking the deeper spiritual authority behind biblical forgiveness. When we forgive in the name of Jesus, we are not excusing sin or pretending pain didn’t happen. We are releasing judgment, dismantling control, and opening the way for Christ to heal what was wounded.

This conversation explores how unforgiveness blocks healing, clouds our ability to hear God, and creates a false sense of control. It also addresses hard questions: Do I have to forgive someone who hasn’t asked? What about repeated offenses in marriage? What about trauma, betrayal, or loss?

Forgiveness, rightly understood, carries the power of Christ’s death and resurrection. It releases God to work in others—and in us.

If you’ve struggled with bitterness, control, or unresolved pain, this episode offers clarity, conviction, and hope.
