Episode 112 | How To Forgive When It Still Hurts

How do you actually forgive someone who hurt you, especially when you still feel the same afterward? Recorded live at Women in Truth: Abide 2026 in Macon, Georgia, this episode starts with Alexis sharing how the conversation went somewhere she never planned and why she is thankful it did. Author and ministry founder Kia Stephens opens up about growing up in a church home with her parents' divorce at age three, chasing validation and living a double life, and a moment in a college dorm room that unlocked years of buried pain over her father's absence. She walks through writing forgiveness letters to her father, herself, God, and her mom, what forgiveness is and is not, and the practical and supernatural parts of releasing someone you feel has wronged you. Alexis also shares her own struggle with the savior complex and finding the root of what we keep covering up. If you are carrying unforgiveness, father wounds, or anger at God, this conversation is for you.
