Show Notes

When Jesus was dying on the cross, he prayed one of the most powerful prayers recorded in human history. He said “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” But, how do you forgive someone when they know what they are doing. Today on the podcast Joe Amaral speaks with Orlando Bowen who shares his story as a new immigrant from Jamaica, to his time as a football player in the CFL. He goes on to share on very scary night when he was approached by two armed men, beaten, resulting in his football career coming to an end, discovering those who harmed him were some of the people he had mentored, and the road he took to forgiveness.
