What happens when unforgiveness becomes more than a moment—when it becomes the story we live in?

In this immersive and unflinchingly honest episode, Jonathan Kindler explores how unforgiveness seeps into our soul, slowly scripting how we see others… and ourselves. Through layered storytelling, biblical reflection, and sound-rich scenes—from the overgrown garden of bitterness to the quiet ache of unresolved pain—this episode reveals the deceptive nature of holding on and the quiet cost of never letting go.

Drawing from the lives of Jonah, the older brother, and Absalom, Jonathan uncovers how unforgiveness distorts identity, damages relationships, and quietly reshapes our obedience. He walks us through five practical anchors that lead toward true release—not performance forgiveness, but actual freedom rooted in God’s justice, not our own.

If you’ve ever clung to a wound, justified your resentment, or felt stuck in a story you never wanted to tell—this conversation is for you.

What do you do when forgiveness still feels raw?

In this episode of Sound Mind, Jonathan Kindler dives into the messy, sacred reality of forgiveness. Through biblical stories, personal reflection, and sound-rich storytelling, he explores what it means to release someone without minimizing what they did—and without pretending you’re okay.

This isn’t about forced peace or performative grace. It’s about telling the truth, naming the wound, and entrusting justice to the only One who sees the whole story. From Joseph’s betrayal to Jesus’ prayer on the cross, from Paul’s fracture with John Mark to your own quiet ache—this episode walks with you through the cost, the complexity, and the process of forgiving when it still hurts.

If you’ve prayed the prayer, said the words, and still feel the sting—this one’s for you.
You’re not weak. You’re healing.
And healing takes time.

What if the urge to hurt yourself isn’t about wanting to die—but about finding a way to survive something much deeper?

In this candid and compassionate episode, Jonathan Kindler explores the hidden ache beneath self-harm. Blending scripture, real-life stories, and grounded biblical truth, he gently dismantles the myth that self-harm is just attention-seeking—and instead reveals the pain, shame, and longing that often drive it.

Drawing from the story of the man in Mark 5 and the raw cries of Hannah in 1 Samuel, this episode helps listeners understand why self-harm can feel like relief… and why it ultimately isn’t. From emotional overwhelm to numbness, shame, and control, we examine the loop that traps so many—and the grace of God that breaks it.

Whether you’ve struggled yourself or are walking with someone who has, this episode isn’t about shame. It’s about mercy. About being seen. And about learning to interrupt the spiral with truth, honesty, and hope.
