Sandra Smith - Im saved, Now What

from Tell Me Your Story · host Richard Dugan

https://www.yournewlifeministries.org/ Millions of Americans were deeply moved by Erika Kirk’s eulogy in which she forgave the man who killed her husband, Charlie. Her act of Christian forgiveness is being called nothing short of extraordinary—a public moment of grace that many say reflects the very heart of the Gospel. In an age often defined by anger and division, her words have inspired countless people to re-examine their own lives and faith journeys. Even more remarkable: young people, who surveys show are often disillusioned with organized religion, are suddenly leaning in—wanting to understand what kind of faith could produce that kind of radical forgiveness. Sandra Smith, author of I’m Saved, Now What?, says Erika Kirk’s moment of public forgiveness is more than a moving personal story—it’s a cultural turning point. Smith explains: Why this act of forgiveness resonates so strongly in today’s polarized climate. How it’s fueling a quiet but powerful interest in Christianity among young people. What steps seekers can take if they’re inspired but don’t know where to begin. Sandra offers insight into how tragedies, when met with forgiveness, can open doors for healing not only for individuals but for communities—and how moments like this can shape a generation. Would you be interested in speaking with Sandra about what this means for faith, culture, and America’s youth?
