Bitterness is sneaky. It starts as hurt, but when we hold on to it, it becomes a prison that chains our hearts and grieves the Spirit. In this episode of Fostering Faith, Tracie dives deep into what happens when we ignore the Holy Spirit’s whisper to forgive, to release, or to speak when prompted. We’ll explore the root of bitterness, why we resist letting go, and why the only real healing begins when we choose to sit in stillness with God.
Through scripture, personal reflection, and real-life application, you’ll be reminded that bitterness cannot survive where God’s presence dwells. Joseph, David, and Jesus Himself all show us that forgiveness is not weakness—it’s freedom. If you’ve been carrying hurt for weeks, months, or even years, this episode is your invitation to lay it down and step into healing.
Take the challenge: carve out twenty minutes with just you and God this week. Be still. Release what you’re holding. And discover how freedom always begins in His presence.
