Summary

“So it's not necessarily an overnight thing. And the only person, the only person or people who get to decide if a person should be forgiven, are the ones harmed.”

Season two of The Confessional is coming very, very soon. In the meantime, I invited my good friend Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg on the show to offer a different perspective on repentance and forgiveness.

Danya is the author of seven books including most recently Nurture the Wow: Finding Spirituality in the Frustration, Boredom, Tears, Poop, Desperation, Wonder and Radical Amazement of Parenting.

0:47.2	single dads and sex workers and the guy who lost a leg in the war because these are my
0:52.6	people.
0:53.9	And you can join us and engage with me and my work at Nadia Boltsweber.substac.com.
1:00.5	That's Nadia Boltsweber.substac.com.
1:06.0	Join other folks who share my love of grace, snark, confession, mercy, pop culture, and
1:13.1	of course, God.
1:15.3	We'll see you there.
1:24.9	Welcome to the confessional.
1:28.4	We are between seasons and I thought it would be really helpful for me if I had one or
1:35.5	two people come on between seasons to help me think through some of the issues that came
1:41.1	up in the previous season.
