The Healing Ointment of Forgiveness

Forgiveness does not pretend the wound never happened. It allows the wound to stop controlling what happens next.

In this episode, Josh shares the image of a splinter trapped beneath the skin and the healing ointment that eventually softened the wound enough for it to be released. He then tells the extraordinary true story of Mary Johnson, who forgave Oshea Israel—the man who killed her only son—and formed a relationship with him that transformed both of their lives.

This episode explores what forgiveness is, what it is not, why healing may take time, and how Jesus Christ can help us release anger, resentment, and pain that we cannot remove on our own. You are not weak because forgiveness is difficult. Keep applying the ointment, keep asking for help, and keep choosing to soften rather than harden.
