Hi there. Thanks for listening to the Sister Circle podcast. My name is Crystal Evanshurst,

and I'm your host. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the podcast that's designed to help you

live your life well and to make it a life you love. Listen, you get to choose. So we've spent some time already

this morning because I believe in recording these

teachings live so I can look at people's responses and see how they are needing or aching

for this particular talk.

And here's the question that I am asking this morning. I am asking this question.

What is one hurt you wish you could release, but you find yourself replaying over and over again?

I want you to consider that question because most of us have at least one thing that triggers

us easily, that sends us running, that causes our

heart to race, that makes us feel some kind of way. It'll make us angry or sad or scared. It'll put us

in a reactionary state because it is deep. And for most of us, there's at least one thing we can remember.

Even if we're over it, we can remember because the stab went so deeply to the core of who we are.

I want to talk to you today about forgiveness in a very practical way because it's really important

to me that this year, as I'm talking in my inner circle

membership about what it looks like to make your mark in this world, you can't make your mark

if you're not able to move. And you cannot move the way you're supposed to move if you're in

chains. And if you are dealing

with any kind of hurt that you have not forgiven, whether you have hurt yourself or someone else has

hurt you, you are in chains. You may not see it. You may not believe it, but you should actually

receive what I'm saying to you today because

unforgiveness will keep you from moving forward. It's just the way it is. You are not free to move.
