God Wants Me to Forgive Them? with Brian Howell

VeggieTakes

Kendall and Kate rewatch the second episode of the VeggieTales canon, a riff on the Steinbeck classic, the Grapes of Wrath, and the 1960's sitcom Gilligan's Island. They discuss the topic of forgiveness: what is it? who is it for? how do we keep from weaponizing forgiveness in the church, while remaining open to forgiving 70 times 7, as Jesus taught.

Wheaton College professor of anthropology Brian Howell joins to analyze the use of accents in the show.

Dr. Adam Perez, a scholar of worship and contemporary Christian music, breaks down the Forgive-o-matic commercial.
