How Do You Forgive Someone Who Hurt You Deeply?

What did Jesus Christ really mean when he said, “Love your enemies”? In this episode, we explore why forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood teachings in the Christian tradition. Drawing on the insights of the mystic Meister Eckhart and lessons from history and psychology, we examine how resentment can trap us in cycles of pain, and how forgiveness becomes a powerful act of inner liberation. This conversation offers a deeper understanding of forgiveness, not as weakness, but as a courageous path toward spiritual freedom.
