About this episode
Today, we’re joined by Ben Graber, who shares his incredible journey of faith and forgiveness. Ben grew up Amish, but his life took a turn when he was excommunicated for studying the Bible and discussing it with others. After joining the Mennonite community with his wife and kids, they faced even more rejection—this time, for reporting abuse in their family and for supposedly, dressing differently than others in the church.
Through all the pain and criticism, Ben has continued to lean on God, responding to those who’ve hurt him with love and grace. His story is a powerful reminder that, no matter what we face, change is possible with God’s help—and even those who misuse us can be loved.
