#125 - Getting Bitter

Episode Summary

Life as a parent (and just as a human) can hand you plenty of reasons to grow bitter — disappointments, unanswered prayers, hurt from others. In this conversation, Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie talk honestly about how bitterness creeps in and why it’s so dangerous for our hearts, families, and churches. They share personal stories, unpack what the Bible says about forgiving like Jesus, and offer practical ways to choose joy over resentment. If you’ve been carrying around some spiritual “junk mail” marked bitterness, this episode is an invitation to throw it out for good.
