In this episode, we dive deep into The Power of Friendship , the real meaning of loyalty, love, and genuine support between friends. I dedicate this one to all my real friends and especially my best friend, Sister Tasha. We talk about what true friendship looks like, how it helps us heal, and why having solid people in your corner matters.

💐 In Loving Memory of My Grandmother, Nana

At the end of this episode, I share a special clip of my grandma talking about friendship. Her words still hit hard today:

“Everybody ain’t your friend. Your friend will cut your head off.”

Rest in peace, Nana. I love you forever. ❤️

Healing the Soul Podcast

Episode 6: The Power of Forgiveness

Hosted by Brother Steppa

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful, yet most misunderstood parts of healing. In the streets, we’re taught to never let disrespect slide. In the church, we’re told to forgive seventy times seven. At home, wounds cut so deep that sometimes it feels impossible to let go. But what does real forgiveness look like? And how do we actually get there?

In this episode, Brother Steppa takes us on a raw journey through the pain and the process of forgiveness, from family betrayals to street beefs to church hurt. We unpack how unforgiveness poisons our minds, bodies, and souls, and how learning to release it can unlock peace, freedom, and even generational healing. With scriptures like Ephesians 4:31-32 and Matthew 6:14-15, real street wisdom, and family-centered reflections, this episode digs deep into what it means to forgive without forgetting and to love without losing yourself.

Forgiveness is not weakness it’s strength. It doesn’t excuse the pain, but it sets you free from carrying it. Whether you’re struggling to forgive someone else or yourself, Episode 6 will challenge you, encourage you, and push you toward healing.
