Here's a recent comment on Episode 7, "Giving Grace To As****es" of my Podcast. New episode drops this week...
"Hey! I somehow stumbled upon your podcast - probably from Facebook but honestly don't remember...LOL. Just listened to Giving Grace to As****es. HOLY S**T. Your explanation about forgiveness near the end of that podcast. I don't even know what to say. I have never heard it put in such a palatable way. The possibility (not promise) that the relationship can be perhaps redefined. So - back story - my teenage daughter was sexually assaulted by her cousin (she was 12 he was 13) about a year and a half ago. It's a long story - we reported it (very hard but appropriate), she received counseling, he was fined and had to go to court, etc. All handled in the best possible way with no regrets, but definitely changed the dynamics of our extended family. My daughter is a total badass. She is strong and while the situation was VERY difficult, she is doing very well. I have known for some time that, eventually, she will need to forgive him in order to be truly free. Your definition of forgiveness helps me SO much, because now I know how I can help her to do this. She was close to him and I know deep down wishes that he never did this because they were friends. This is a palatable definition for her because I know that as long as she is able to keep her strong sense of knowing that what he did was wrong and that he is 100 percent at fault, she would love to redefine the relationship and emotionally release him from what he did. I am just speechless right now. This brings me so much hope. I just wanted you to know how helpful this was for me to hear!!!❤️"
