Is forgiveness without repentance biblical? What if someone never says they’re sorry? What if you’re told to “just forgive” and move on?
In this bold and deeply clarifying conversation, Naomi sits down with author and Bible teacher Vee Chandler to discuss what Scripture actually teaches about forgiveness, repentance, and reconciliation—especially in the aftermath of harm or abuse. This is the conversation for anyone who’s been told, “You need to forgive,” without any accountability or change from the person who caused the harm.
Whether you’re wrestling with family betrayal, church abuse, or simply trying to reconcile Scripture with your pain—this episode will help you walk in both truth and freedom.

You don’t have to tackle everything at once.
For seven weeks, we’ll move through grief, trauma, triggers, boundaries, identity, trust, and recognizing healthier relationships and groups, one area at a time.
Each Monday, a new module opens. Then every Thursday from 12 to 1 PM Eastern, you’ll have access to a live 60 minute Q&A with a beEmboldened mentor.
Learn. Sit with it. Notice your questions. Bring them with you. And continue forward from there.
Full Access begins October 5.
