I FORGIVE YOU

I FORGIVE YOU is a new Reality TV show on gmc about real people who have been hurt choosing to forgive.

Lynda Frederick was excessively bullied at school as a child. And now, 25 years later she has to face her childhood tormenters at her high-school reunion. Still struggling with issues from the bullying she received as child, Lynda sits down with two of her former classmates to reconcile and forgive.

Jerry and Sandra share their story of how their family broke apart. After Jerry had saved a lifetime’s earnings from working two jobs, he was ready to retire. However, their son Jeffrey approaches them with an investment plan for his new business. Sandra isn’t comfortable with lending Jeffrey any money, but Jerry wants to support his son. So he invests his retirement plan into Jeffrey’s business with the hope of getting it back. Little does he know is that Jeffrey is running a Ponzi scheme that’s scamming not only Jerry and Sandra’s money, but also the money of other family and friends.

Jeffery is thrown into prison for fraud, but in prison he has a change of heart and shows remorse for what he did. Now, years later, he’s out of prison and has a chance to reconcile with his family, but will they forgive him for all the pain that he caused them?

These are just two of four stories of forgiveness told in the first episode. I FORGIVE YOU is moving at times with powerful examples of how we should not be bitter, but instead forgiving. Though the stories sometimes feel overly dramatic, the overall message still shines through. Christ is extolled and people are able to forgive because of what Jesus has done in their hearts. I FORGIVE YOU has a strong Christian message and is wholesome entertainment with very little offensive content.
