Welcome to the first meditation in our new series on forgiveness. Most of us live like forgiveness is something we’re still trying to earn. But the cross tells a different story.

In this episode, we slow down and reflect on the moment Jesus spoke forgiveness from the cross—and what that means for you today.

This is an invitation to lay down guilt, stop striving, and receive what has already been given.

This week's word, the thirteenth in our annual What's Your Word series, was sent in by Bridy. Freedom is not the absence of struggle. It is the presence of truth, grace, and God’s Spirit at work within us. Loosening what once held us and teaching us how to live unbound.

This week’s word, the twelfth in our annual What’s Your Word series, was sent in by Jessica. In this meditation, we reflect on the word Forward—not as pressure to rush ahead, but as an invitation to take the next step with trust. God often leads us forward gently, one step at a time, even when the whole path is not yet clear.

If you’ve been feeling hesitant, uncertain, or caught between what was and what’s next, this meditation offers space to breathe, listen, and move forward with quiet confidence.

This week’s word in our What’s Your Word series was sent in by Bonnie. In this meditation, we reflect on the word Truth—not as something loud or forceful, but as something that brings clarity, steadiness, and light for the next step. God’s truth does not rush us; it gently leads us and helps us walk in what is real.

If life has felt noisy or uncertain, this meditation is an invitation to slow down, listen, and let truth steady your heart.

This week's word, the tenth in our annual What's Your Word series, was sent in by Tabitha. In this meditation, we reflect on what it means to loosen our grip and place what we’ve been carrying into God’s hands. Relinquishing isn’t giving up or pretending something doesn’t matter. It’s trusting that what matters most is safest with Him.

If you’ve felt the weight of control, pressure, or responsibility resting heavily on your shoulders, this meditation is an invitation to release the strain and rest in God’s steady care. You don’t have to hold everything together. You can let go—and be held.

This week's word, the ninth in our annual What's Your Word series, was sent in by Meike, and her word is Stillness. In this meditation, we reflect on what it means to quiet our souls; not by forcing silence, but by learning to rest in God’s steady presence. Stillness isn’t about escaping responsibility or shutting down the noise around us. It’s about trusting that we don’t have to hold everything together.
