What God-Given Forgiveness Looks Like | The Tragic Story | The Happy Hour With Jamie Ivey

The Happy Hour With Jamie Ivey: On December 10th, 2003 Kent Whitaker’s life was struck with tragedy in a way that would change it forever. After an evening out with his family, Kent, his wife, and two sons returned to their home to find an intruder waiting inside. On today’s show Kent shares with us how his entire family was shot that night, killing two family members, and how Romans 8:28 became real to him in a new way. Kent describes how he did what most of us would think as impossible, forgive the people responsible for such crime.

Kent’s story of loss, forgiveness and redemption has been featured on Oprah, 20/20, 48 Hours Mystery, People Magazine, and dozens of other shows. His book, Murder By Family, made the New York Times Bestseller List and has inspired and encouraged thousands of people.

Forgiveness isn’t easy and often feels like the most unnatural thing to do. But because of Jesus’ death on the cross, we can forgive because we have been forgiven.

Since 2014 when she launched her podcast, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey, Jamie has been elevating the stories of women and men chasing hard after Jesus. She believes that stories change the world, and that belief has been her motivation as Jamie has fostered a community of listeners who are eager to hear from others with different life experiences or unique perspectives. On The Happy Hour, Jamie and a guest discuss the big things in life, the little things in life, and everything in between. In every podcast episode, listeners are pointed to Jesus, and it’s a joy for Jamie to be the one behind the microphone bringing these stories to life. Jamie lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband Aaron and four children. She loves college football and her newfound love of walking as a spiritual discipline, and she remains committed to trying every new restaurant in her foodie town.
