In this compelling episode of the Growing into Grace podcast, Cindy Costa, a women's Pastor, shares her remarkable journey of complete forgiveness for the three 17-year-old males who coldly murdered her brother 25 years ago. Cindy now lives in peace, having not only forgiven these individuals but also taught her children the profound power of forgiving the unforgivable. Join us as we delve into this wild journey of faith, resilience, and transformation.
The murderers were involved in gang life, leading to a racially motivated shooting where all nine victims were white. One of the families shot was headed by a KKK member, intensifying the racial tensions, and the town was shut down due to violent clashes between the KKK and Black Panthers. Cindy recalls her Pastor driving two hours to comfort her the night her brother died, sharing God's word and the story of forgiveness. Through God's strength, Cindy found the ability to forgive and live in forgiveness. Four years after her brother's murder, Cindy served on several outreach teams, preaching the gospel to kids in similar situations as her brother's killers.
Join us for this inspiring episode and witness the power of grace and forgiveness in action.
