BONUS EPISODE: Nevertheless

On Father’s Day 2021, Michael preached, then drove to the airport to do something he knew was wrong. For nine hours in the Tampa airport, one sentence wouldn’t leave him alone: Go home. He didn’t. Three weeks later, his marriage ended. In this bonus episode, Michael shares the story behind his new book, Nevertheless: Living Faithfully with What Forgiveness Doesn’t Fix. Drawing on Nathan’s words to David in 2 Samuel 12, he explores the difference between guilt and regret, the long middle after a collapse, the danger of sentencing yourself, and the hope of the chapter after. For every man who has been forgiven and still lives with consequences, and for the man still sitting in his own airport.
