The Results of Resentment Part 1

Jul 10, 2025    Pete Pawelek

This week, Pastor Pete invites us to reflect on a quietly powerful force in our lives—resentment.


It’s a topic that’s more familiar than we often admit. Not because we talk about it openly, but because it hides in plain sight. We suppress it, disguise it, and sometimes ignore it altogether—but it’s there. Resentment often begins with a sense of unfairness, a moment when life didn’t go the way we hoped. Over time, that feeling can take root and become part of the emotional background of our lives.


And sometimes, the hardest resentment to face is the one we direct toward God.

- Maybe you feel He didn’t come through for you.

- Maybe your prayers went unanswered.

- Or maybe He blessed someone else while you were left waiting—again.


In this episode, Pastor Pete turns to Jonah chapter 4 to reveal what happens when we hold on to resentment. Through Jonah’s story, we see how resentment can shape our perspective, our relationships, and even our faith.


Listen closely. This message won’t tell you what to feel—but it will help you understand what resentment does. And from there, you can decide what to do with it.
