How do you define forgiveness?
Turns out, the definition tends to be as different as every person. And that definition changes depending on where you are in the process, too!
On this episode of Audacious, Chion talks about it with a best friend, a pastor, a philosopher, and a man who lost his face after getting hit by a drunk driver.
You’ll also hear ponderings on forgiveness from some of our Audacious listeners!
And since this is a rebroadcast of an episode from two years ago, Chion offers a few new personal reflections on forgiveness after all this time.
This show originally aired on March 25, 2022 and was updated on March 15, 2024.
