Summary: <p>Ever wondered how you could possibly find forgiveness for a seemingly unforgivable act? Like being raped, beaten, and left for dead? Today's guest, Lois Wagner, found it, and she shares that journey with you today. </p><br><p>Toxic relationships include many kinds of abuse: verbal abuse, emotional abuse, physical, sexual, financial, and spiritual abuse. Moving beyond the toxic relationships is the first step on the healing journey, with so much more to follow. </p><br><p>In her book, Walking Without Skin: A Journey of Healing From Fear to Forgiveness to Freedom, she writes: </p><br><p><em>As I walked out of that grey, sad, bad building, I didn’t notice the barbed wire, the electrified fencing, or the armed, bulletproof-vested security guards. I didn’t see the orange-overalled prisoners or hear their raucous laughter. I didn’t notice the wild Spring flowers incongruously surrounding the grey prison buildings. I didn’t see the grazing sheep and cattle, the blue cranes at the dam, or the backdrop of the magnificent snow-capped mountain.</em></p><br><p><em>When I left that prison, I flew out of that place free from those physical and emotional walls and boundaries to a newfound freedom.</em></p><br><p>Lois has used her experiences to craft invaluable programs and formulas to help young men and boys to see positive pathways in life, and to create attitudes and values that will serve them well. </p><br><p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:</strong></p><ul> <li>Finding the pathway to forgive the unforgivable</li> <li>Healing the pain of betrayal</li> <li>How toxic masculinity is created, and perpetuated </li> <li>How to bring up boys to be positive adults (p.s.
