What if forgiveness could do more than just set you free — what if it could open the door for God to transform your entire situation?

In this deeply moving episode, Darlene Davis shares her powerful journey of learning to forgive in the face of pain, disappointment, and brokenness. With honesty and warmth, Darlene shows us that forgiveness is not something we wait to feel — it’s a decision, an act of obedience that opens our hearts to God’s healing power. When we choose to forgive, we don’t just release ourselves from bitterness or resentment — we also release the people we forgive into God’s hands, creating space for Him to work in ways we could never orchestrate on our own. Forgiveness becomes a catalyst for transformation — in our hearts, in our relationships, and in the circumstances we face.

In this episode, you’ll discover: Why forgiveness is a powerful choice, not an emotion How God can transform your heart and renew your perspective The ripple effect of forgiveness in healing relationships and situations Practical wisdom for forgiving when it feels impossible Hope that no wound or story is beyond God’s redeeming power

If you’re longing for freedom, restoration, or a fresh start in your life or relationships, this episode will encourage you to take that first courageous step — and remind you that when we forgive, we make room for God to do what only He can.

What does true worship look like? In this powerful episode, Jodie Chiricosta sits down with Kelly Wilkerson — worship leader, pastor, songwriter, wife, mother, and vice president of World Challenge — for an honest, vulnerable conversation about surrendering every part of life to God.

Kelly shares raw stories of personal loss, ministry disappointments, and walking alongside children battling addiction — and how God used each trial to reshape her understanding of worship beyond the stage. You’ll hear how authentic worship transforms pain into purpose and creates space for God’s power to move in unexpected ways.
