Forgiveness Isn’t Soft. It’s Freedom.

from The Shift: A Podcast With Ben Brown · host Ben Brown

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with my dear friend Hal Strickland, a grateful 67-year-old from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, whose gratitude and spiritual wisdom have helped shaped my life. Hal, a profoundly optimistic man, shares his insights on forgiveness, faith, and the transformative power of letting go of resentment. There’s no single topic here—just a heartfelt conversation that will leave you reflecting on your own life and what it means to forgive, love, and be truly present.
