Releasing Resentment: The Blessing of Forgiveness:: Jane Menendez's Story :: [Episode 303]

Releasing Resentment: The Blessing of Forgiveness:: Jane Menendez's Story :: [Episode 303]

Welcome to the New Year! Our kickoff story is all about new beginnings—but it's not what you think. This truth-filled tale will inspire you to get your heart right for 2025.

Jane Menendez, of our Mountain Brook community, openly shares about a seed of bitterness that settled in her heart long ago. The seed grew into a grudge, which Jane watered and nursed for more than 15 years. Jane bears it all, covering a lawsuit, financial insecurity, and eventually confessing the repetitive ways she entertained resentment in her heart.

For decades, Jane tried hard to love, and she tried hard to forgive. Ultimately, only a right view of her own sin could bring about change. As you listen to how Jane learned to face the truth of herself, we think you'll do some necessary soul-searching, too.

In this episode, you will learn:

–The Lord will show you your sin, but He will also show you His love and faithfulness.

–Repentance is uncomfortable but freeing.

–If you're feeling stuck in your situation, you can candidly ask the Lord to help you forgive.
