Dan Darling on Forgiveness.

Sometimes, forgiveness is a journey.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Dan Darling, who opens up about a life-altering experience – being fired from his job in a very public way. Dan is the author of several books, including his newest book, Agents of Grace, How to Bridge Divides, and Love as Jesus Loved. He is also the director of the Land Center for Cultural Engagement. He regularly contributes to World magazine and USA Today.

Dan's story is one of remarkable strength and resilience. Instead of succumbing to bitterness or revenge, he chose the less-traveled path guided by grace and forgiveness. Through his candid account, he shares valuable insights into the complex journey of forgiveness as a process.

Tune in to discover the three crucial levels of forgiveness: the release of bitterness, the possibility of reconciliation, and the challenging task of rebuilding trust. Dan's journey exemplifies the capacity of the human spirit to overcome adversity and find healing through forgiveness.

Throughout this episode, the importance of faith, the unwavering support of friends, and the warmth of community are themes that shine brightly. It is a poignant reminder of the strength we draw from those around us when faced with life's most harrowing trials.

Highlights from the conversation:

• "Afghanistan, Covid, and Me": Dan's story.
• Understanding Love in the difficult times.
• A Formula for Forgiveness: Intentionality, time, and trust.
• Discovering the three levels of forgiveness.
