Can God Really Heal a Broken Relationship?

Broken relationships rarely heal on their own. Time might dull the pain, but it doesn’t repair the fracture. Healing starts when we stop waiting for the other person to move and let God do something in us first.

In this episode of People Are the Worst, Pastor Mark and I get honest about what it actually takes to move toward peace. We talk about why it feels easier to blame than to look in the mirror, why forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting, and how small acts of courage, like a phone call, a conversation, or a prayer, can open the door to peace.

If you’ve ever felt the heaviness of a broken friendship, a marriage that feels stuck, or a family conflict that won’t go away, this is for you. God still heals the brokenhearted, and He meets us right in the middle of the mess.

Reflection Questions

1. Are you waiting for time to fix something that only a step of courage could start?
2. When you think about the strain in your relationships, what part might be yours to own?
3. Who comes to mind when you think about forgiveness you’ve been holding back?
