In today's episode, the Penners jump into a heavy conversation: what does it look like to walk through hurt in relationships? How do you know when it's time to walk away? How do you confront someone who has hurt you but doesn't see the harm they've done? And of course, examples from scipture.

The Penners get personal, talking about examples from close friendships, family struggles and situations, while also digging into the true context of some key scriptures people use in situations like these.

Join the Conversation with these Community Questions:
1) Do you have an example that comes to mind of being hurt and do you think you handled it appropriately, or did your emotions take over?
2) What are some ways you can set yourself up for success next time a situation arises?
3) Do you find forgiveness an easy thing to give, or is this something that could be worked on in yourself?
