Rachel Wilson: What I Realized While Writing a Song on Forgiveness

Rachel Wilson joins Life FM for a powerful Good Friday conversation about faith, forgiveness, and the meaning of Easter. Growing up with strong Holy Week traditions, Rachel shares how practices like carrying the cross helped shape her understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice. But this kōrero goes deeper. Rachel opens up about how forgiveness once felt like a “Christian cliché” until life challenged her to truly live it out. Her new song “I Forgive” reflects a deeply personal journey of letting go, healing, and discovering grace. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive or wondered what Good Friday really means, this conversation will speak to you. It’s real, relatable, and grounded in hope.
