## Resource

Spiritual growth requires the intentional uprooting of bitterness to make room for peace. Using Hebrews 11-13 as a guide, this episode explores how our internal character affects our external relationships.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Our internal spiritual state acts as a garden that directly influences how we treat others
- Practical takeaway: Use journaling to document the process of releasing unforgiveness and planting seeds of peace
- Failure mode: Relying on your own strength to forgive rather than seeking God's help and accountability partners
- Main idea: True faith should be placed in the unchanging Word of God rather than the fluctuating strength of our own feelings
- Practical takeaway: Pursuing peace is an active, daily discipline of sanctification that requires persistence
