On the most recent episode of Audacious, we talked about the definition of forgiveness. It seems like every person has their own interpretation of it, and how we define it often defines us. 

David Whyte is a philosopher, poet, speaker, and author of Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment, and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words. He begins our conversation by reading the passage on forgiveness in that book.

You can experience more of his work at davidwhyte.com

Go ahead and check out the full episode on forgiveness, featuring perspectives from our Audacious listeners. You’ll hear from a pastor whose brother spent her entire million dollar inheritance, and a conversation about forgiveness with a man who needed a full face transplant after getting hit by a drunk driver. 

That’s right here in your podcast feed, or at ctpublic.org/audacious.
