Extending Grace When We’ve Been Wronged - Daniel Darling - 61 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye

As pastors and ministry leaders, how do we meet the challenge of extending grace toward others when they have hurt us personally? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Daniel Darling, award-winning writer, and author. His latest book is entitled Agents of Grace. Daniel serves as the lead of The Land Center for Cultural Engagement and speaks at churches and conferences across the nation. Together, Daniel and Jason look at how we can minister in our local congregations to build bridges across divisions, even in the face of opposition. Daniel also shares from his personal experience of how to love like Jesus, even when others hurt us.
