Church Teachings: [00:28:05]
Abish tackles the thorny topic of forgiveness. The hosts recount a heartwarming yet eyebrow-raising tale from a 2020 BYU talk about Victoria Ruvolo forgiving her assailant, Ryan Cushing. The discussion veers into critical territory, as they dissect the LDS Church’s forgiveness doctrine, highlighting its unrealistic expectations and the problematic emphasis on victim accountability. Personal stories and Reddit posts add depth and humor to the conversation about the complex, deeply personal nature of forgiveness, often marred by untrained bishops and invasive questions.
