7. Rooted in Forgiveness

Some roots go unnoticed—until they bear fruit. Forgiveness is one of them.

In this week’s powerful session, guest teacher Kim Bennett joins the Rooted series to walk us through one of the most transformative aspects of a life anchored in Christ: forgiveness. With wisdom shaped by her nursing background and her work with trauma healing, Kim invites us to consider how forgiveness is more than a one-time decision—it’s a lifelong process of surrender, healing, and freedom.

This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply personal as Kim shares both her own stories and those from Scripture, guiding us to a deeper understanding of what it means to forgive others, forgive ourselves, and walk in the freedom Christ offers.

As you listen, you’ll encounter:

• A clear breakdown of what forgiveness is—and what it is not—including common myths and misunderstandings that keep us stuck.

• Powerful visuals and object lessons that illustrate how bitterness, pain, and pride can entangle us unless we actively choose to let go.

• Stories from Scripture, history, and real life—including the unforgettable testimony of Corrie ten Boom—that show how forgiveness can bring freedom, even in the most impossible situations.

Whether you’re walking through deep hurt, wrestling with guilt, or learning to let go of old wounds, this episode gently reminds us that forgiveness isn’t about forgetting—it’s about freedom. Listen and take your next step toward peace that holds, even when the wound runs deep.
