Listen in as Brooks Douglass, former Oklahoma state senator, businessman, producer and actor shares how when we forgive someone else, we’re blessed with forgiveness ourselves.

His journey of grasping life with forgiveness and grace while he slowly healed from a senseless crime is intriguing and powerful.

Douglass, whose parents were shot to death by intruders, worked to strengthen Oklahoma's victims-rights laws, including the measure that allowed murder victims' families to witness executions.

Since leaving politics in 2002, he found additional healing in an unexpected place: Hollywood, where he co-wrote a movie called Heavens Rain unpacking his life and the reconciliation from an horrific life changing tragedy.

Listening to his story reveals hope and compassion to the point that you just can’t walk away with out some conviction and applications for leading and living your own life for greater impact!
