198. Living Beyond Offense: How the Hard Work of Forgiveness God’s Way Truly Sets Us Free (ft. Yana Jenay Conner)

What do you do when forgiveness feels impossible?

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Bible teacher and author Yana Conner to talk about her brand-new book, Living Beyond Offense: Doing the Hard Work of Forgiveness God’s Way. This conversation is honest, deep, and so needed.

Yana shares her personal journey of walking through offense, what it really means to forgive “God’s way,” and how we can find freedom on the other side of hurt. We talk about the middle moments—the space between choosing to forgive and actually feeling healed—and how God meets us right there with grace.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of offense, this one’s for you. Take a deep breath, grab your coffee, and lean in.

Because today might just be the day freedom begins.
