We are living in a more chaotic and confusing time than ever before.

The lines between right and wrong and good and evil, men and women, are so blurred, sometimes I don't even know which way is up.

It's not a new concept that things aren't black and white.

We know there's always been a gray area and they'll continue to be gray areas.

But we really have to start being more careful when we're claiming to know empirical facts or empirical truths

because there's so much information that you'd have to know and sort through to be that confident that you're right.

Today's podcast is really interesting.

Today, I've been introduced to a man who was convicted of murder that he didn't commit.

Now, was he perfect? No. But he didn't commit the crime that he was sentenced to life for.

His name is Gene Maguire. He finally got out early.

But I have to tell you, he had every reason to be angry and hold a grudge, but something happened to him along the way that changed his life for the better.

We talk about the mistakes that were made that nearly ruined Gene's life and the way that he was able to find forgiveness and use his life and story into ways of encouraging others.

I don't remember what the occasion was, but I was having dinner with some friends.

And one of them said, oh, you have to meet... Have you met Gene? I said, no. Oh, you have to meet him.

And they told me your story and I said, can you call him? Can he come to dinner?

And you came to dinner and your story is one of the... It's the best, horrible, yet unbelievably positive stories I have ever heard.

Tell me, Gene. 1977, how old were you? 17.

Sophomore in high school, finishing up the year. Pretty good athlete, football, track.

Girlfriend? Not at the time. And went out drinking one night with an older cousin. He was 24 and went out the door.

Against my mother's wishes pretty much, but we sweet talkter. And about 11.30 a night had no business being out that late.

Were you... Did you know your cousin was kind of a bad guy?

He had been in prison before. He had been out. But one of the things I had great respect for him was because he treated my mother so well.
