0:00.0	Welcome to a special Carlos's kind of quiet episode of the human-hope podcast.
0:06.1	I'm speaking a little quietly because I am in a guest home in Rwanda and there's people sleeping
0:10.8	around me. But I wanted to put out this special episode, special being that I wasn't planning on
0:16.4	doing it until I got here and I met a few people and this episode is going to, I think, really
0:23.2	stretch us. I recorded two conversations and I'm going to be giving you both of these conversations
0:27.3	over the course of the next few days and this first one is going to lay the groundwork,
0:32.4	to what I believe is going to be important for us to get to the step where we find this supernatural
0:38.0	forgiveness that maybe we've never been able to find before in our hearts. You know, a lot of you
0:42.1	saw the conversation just a three-minute clip of the conversation between Matthias and Stephen,

1:19.2	when I come to find out the genocide ideation began way before
1:25.2	1984. There was killings happening already before 1994 and it's because the government was already
1:32.8	dividing a unified people. They had one king before the Germans and the Belgians came in,
1:39.1	they had one king and they were one people group and then the Germans and the Belgians began
1:42.8	to divide them because what happened was when they divided them, they became weaker because they
1:48.0	pitted them against each other and we hear an incredible history lesson from Emanuel. Now,
1:55.5	one of the reasons why Emanuel is the person to give this is he was a refugee that came back
2:00.4	in the army because he wanted his freedom. He had no rights and because I asked him like,
