Live to Forgive: A Family Story of Pain and Redemption with Guest Jason Romano

Jason Romano always had a passion for sports, an interest he shared with his father and grandfather. He turned that passion into a dream career at ESPN, producing SportsCenter and Monday Night Football. But sadly, Jason couldn’t always share his “love of the game” with his father, whose alcoholism was a constant source of anguish and shame for the entire family. On today’s edition of Family Talk, the author of "Live to Forgive" says the four steps toward forgiveness are to feel the pain, evaluate the trauma, transform the wound, and forgive the abuser. In the book of Matthew, chapter 18, Jesus commands us to forgive. If we don’t, we hurt ourselves more than our offender.
