But forgiving someone doesn't necessarily mean immediately giving that person full access to your life again.\nTrust may need to be rebuilt.\nBarry points to Jesus' example of forgiveness and then explores John 2:23–25, where Scripture describes people believing in Jesus while Jesus did not entrust Himself to them because He understood what was in their hearts.\nBarry also shares a personal story of being deeply hurt by someone he respected. He chose forgiveness, but rebuilding trust took time—and the other person's actions eventually demonstrated genuine love.\nIn this episode:\n✔️ What Christian forgiveness really means\n✔️ The difference between forgiveness and trust\n✔️ Why forgiveness doesn't automatically restore access\n✔️ How healthy trust can be rebuilt\n✔️ What Jesus teaches us about forgiveness\n✔️ Why boundaries can coexist with forgiveness\n✔️ How taking an offense to God can release the weight you're carrying\nYou may not even need the other person to know you've forgiven them.\nTake the offense to God. Release the burden. Forgive—and allow trust to be rebuilt appropriately.\n#TransitionalClay #ChristianForgiveness #Forgiveness #ChristianBoundaries #Trust #ChristianLiving #Faith #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualGrowth","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/9E8N_seuR70tjTjop6l4SBIb6Dj9e6_j9OCVCG3PcL0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83Njkw/NjRhYzc3ZDEzNTQ2/NjMyMDkwYzhhNjM3/NDQ0OS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
