About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of forgiveness and how to respond to those who hurt you, using the story of Jesus washing his followers' feet as a reference.

Hi, friend. Welcome to the Encouraging Word Podcast. This week’s episode brings us to a story you’ve probably heard; you may even hear it this Holy Week. In John chapter 13, we read about Jesus washing his followers’ feet. This passage is often referred to when teaching about service or humility. But it also offers something else very important—how to respond to someone who hurts you.
