In this episode of the Redeemed & Restored Podcast, host Mike Noland explores one of the most overlooked triggers of relapse: offense. Drawing from biblical truth and insights from John Bevere's book The Bait of Satan, this episode unpacks how unresolved hurt, bitterness, and unforgiveness can quietly pull us away from God, isolate us from others, and lead us back toward old patterns of bondage. Through Scripture, and recovery principles, you'll discover why offense is one of Satan's greatest traps and how forgiveness is not only essential for spiritual health but also for lasting recovery. Most importantly, you'll be reminded of the Gospel: that Jesus, though deeply offended and wronged, chose forgiveness on the cross so that we could experience true freedom. If you've been carrying hurt, resentment, or struggling to let go of what others have done to you, this episode offers hope, healing, and a pathway toward restoration through Christ.
