About this episode

Brant discusses the effects of forgiveness on mental and physical health and shares a listener's transformative story of prayer and grace.

Brant shares fascinating research from Dr. Robert Enright on the measurable effects of forgiveness—from reduced depression and anxiety to improved heart health—and reflects on why Jesus' call to forgive is meant to become a way of life. He also shares a listener's powerful story of learning to pray for someone who repeatedly stole from her ministry, and how that practice slowly changed her response from anger to grace.
