Repentance & Forgiveness with Dave Higham & Kellen Winslow (Faith to Stay Part 3 of 5) - Latter-Day Lights

LDS Podcast "Latter-Day Lights" - Inspirational LDS Stories

When guilt feels heavier than hope, can forgiveness still rewrite our story?
Episode 3 of our 5-part miniseries "Faith to Stay" tackles “Repentance & Forgiveness”—a burning topic in Latter-Day Lights host & founder Scott Brandley’s new book about navigating life’s fiercest spiritual storms. How are repentance and forgiveness interconnected, and how do we walk through them to achieve lasting peace?
This Sunday, we welcome back prison therapist Kellen Winslow and excommunicated bishop Dave Higham. With the overarching testimony that “repentance isn’t punishment; rather, it’s relief,” they compare courtroom justice to eternal mercy, swap stories of self-forgiveness, and reveal how seeing people in the same way God sees them can turn even the most "unforgivable" actions into miracles of compassion.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re too far gone—or have struggled to forgive someone who seems beyond reach—tune in as we navigate these two sides of the same coin, and discover why every new day is an invitation to begin again.
