Summary

My guest today is Shea, and I'm so glad you've tuned in. Shea's father raped her, and she doesn't ever want to see him or even think of him again. She wants him to disappear off the face of the earth. She sees him as a pedophile and a monster. She wants him to die. Is any resolution possible in an extreme situation like this? I love that you join me and this courageous woman as we test the limits of forgiveness.
