Episode The Master of Forgiveness
None of us escape being hurt deeply by others as we go through life. We've all been cheated on, lied to, swindled, dismissed, isolated, taken advantage of. And it's into that broken reality that Jesus tells a parable about one of the most difficult things we do in life—forgive.

Chapter 3
When we mess up big time, we desperately long to be forgiven. But when someone else wrongs us, we can be less eager to let them off the hook.
