Description

Victims of wrongdoing are frequently encouraged to forgive and move on, but we seldom pause to ask what forgiveness amounts to. In this episode, Luke Russell and guest Glen Pettigrove discuss why forgiveness is beneficial, and ponder the question as to whether sometimes it might be too dangerous to forgive. The episode also looks at the  connection between forgiveness and love, and asks whether it makes sense to forgive someone for blamelessly breaking your heart.
