<p>I felt compelled to record this episode in the wake of the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. His widow, Erika Kirk, gave a speech at her late husband's memorial service which sparked some controversy due to the fact that she offered her husband's murderer "<strong>forgiveness</strong>." Or did she?</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What does it actually mean to </strong><em><strong>forgive</strong></em><strong> someone?</strong></p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I dig into biblical passages throughout the old and new testaments and exegete the texts in order to bring to light the true meaning of forgiveness. This is a topic I have been contemplating for about a decade now, and it hits close to home. I hope it will illuminate your understanding of this grossly misunderstood term. <strong>Forgiveness</strong>; it's not what you think it is.</p>
