In today's episode, we're discussing the heartbreaking story of the death of high school track student Austin Metcalf at the hands of alleged suspect Karmelo Anthony. We go over the details of what happened, and while we don't know why Karmelo allegedly stabbed Austin, we do know that killing someone for mere words is never justifiable. That didn't stop social media from jumping to conclusions about Austin, even going so far as to call him a white supremacist and saying he deserved to be stabbed with absolutely no evidence. We also talk about what duties Christians have when it comes to forgiveness, and we are praying for the families affected by this terrible tragedy.
