In the latest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about how unforgiveness affects your health. Science has caught up with what the Bible already told us, we should forgive!

Karen Swartz, MD. Director of the Mood Disorders Adult Consultation Clinic at The Johns Hopkins hospital is quoted on the Johns Hopkins website as saying, “Research determined that there is an enormous physical burden to hanging on to anger. Unforgiveness can make you sick. Chronic anger and unforgiveness puts you in constant fight or flight mode which results in numerous changes in heart rate, blood pressure and immune response. Those changes then increase the risk of depression, heart disease, and diabetes among other conditions. Forgiveness however calms stress levels which leads to improved health.”

The Word of God gives us gems like Ephesians 4:32 for a reason. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” If it’s in the Word of God, it’s there for a reason. Is it easy to apply? No. Impossible to do? No. If God has asked us to do it, He will help us make a way.

In this episode, titled “Forgiveness is healthier than unforgiveness” we’re talking about spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health and how unforgiveness affects us.
