  • The Wonder of Forgiveness
    Mar 20 2026

    Forgiveness is one of the hardest things we are called to do — yet it may also be one of the most powerful.

    In this special episode of See Hear Love, host Melinda Estabrooks is joined by pastor, author, and podcaster Anne Miranda for the first conversation in a new series exploring the wonder of forgiveness.

    Together they share deeply personal stories about pain, divorce, abuse, church hurt, rejection, and the long journey toward forgiveness. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and rooted in faith — exploring why unforgiveness can imprison us and how forgiveness can bring freedom and healing.

    Through their lived experiences, Melinda and Anne talk about:

    • The emotional and spiritual weight of unforgiveness
    • Why forgiveness is often a long process, not a quick decision
    • Practical ways to begin the journey toward forgiveness
    • How therapy, community, faith, and prayer helped them heal
    • The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
    • Why forgiveness is central to the message of the Gospel

    They also reflect on powerful examples of forgiveness, including stories of radical forgiveness that challenge the way we naturally respond to pain.

    This episode reminds us that forgiveness does not mean forgetting the hurt — but it can mean releasing the burden that keeps us trapped.

    If you’ve ever struggled to forgive someone who deeply hurt you, this conversation offers compassion, wisdom, and hope.
