Forgiveness in an Outraged World, with Amy Orr-Ewing

We live in an unforgiving age. Even as we know that Jesus commanded forgiveness, extending it can seem impossible, impractical, self-harming, even unjust. 

In these times of outrage and fear, what can help us become forgiving people?

Author Amy Orr-Ewing joined us for a recent online conversation, where we explored these questions for a live audience:

"The church needs to recapture the vision of forgiveness as an actuality. This is something real rooted in the sacrifice of Jesus at the cross. And it's that that has actually been the animating force of the Christian faith throughout history."
