391: Steve Carter on Why Forgiveness is a Solo Sport, The Horrible Positive Spins on Tragedy, How We Waste Waiting Seasons, and Unpacking the Trauma of Betrayal

Podcast · May 1, 2024

All of us have experienced varying degrees of loss, betrayal, and heartbreak throughout life. And as such, I feel it necessary to double down on that topic. So today, Steve Carter joins us to discuss why forgiveness is a solo sport, the horrible positive spins we too often slap on tragedy, how we waste waiting seasons in life, and how to understand better the trauma involved in betrayal.
