The Reconcile is a new podcast created by Kyle Kratky and Parsons Twesten.

What does “I’m sorry” mean?

Each episode focuses on one real-life apology, giving someone a chance to apologize for a past transgression. The Reconcile explores the story of the apologizer, the person (or people) receiving that apology, and the outcome.

What is true forgiveness and when is it earned?

Join us as we unpack what it means to apologize, how forgiveness is earned, and when it may not be warranted in The Reconcile.
