Curtis: We need to forgive people more. If somebody's coming into the public square, ah, and they've made a mistake and they afr ask for forgiveness, we should. A graceless society is a society that we don't want to live in. But if you go all the way back to 20 18, i had a pos about rosanne bar that was different. And one of my position was, when she got the show again, she had been given a lot of grace.

How should we react when people say or do things we find offensive in public discourse? What is the role of forgiveness and grace in these contexts? How do we determine if apologies are sincere and the offending party is worthy of an opportunity for repentance and repair? Join David and Curtis as they discuss this timely topic and offer some guidance for how we can make some space for grace in our public discourse.
