Number 4: Abby Wambach, Soccer Star
“I didn't feel like, oh, I need to call my lawyer or anything like that. I felt like I was totally with it.

And I thought, this machine is broken.” When Abby retired from professional soccer in 2015, she was a two-time Olympic gold medalist, World Cup champion, and the all-time leader in goal scoring for the U.S. Women’s National Team.

Number 5: Forgiveness and Reconciliation with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg
“So it's not necessarily an overnight thing. And the only person, the only person or people who get to decide if a person should be forgiven, are the ones harmed.” Season two of The Confessional is coming very, very soon. In the meantime, I invited my good friend Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg on the show to offer a different perspective on repentance and forgiveness.
