Dylann Roof Killed My Mother – And I FORGIVE Him | Rev. Sharon Risher

On June 17, 2015, self-avowed white supremacist Dylann Roof entered a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina. With a concealed pistol, he sat through a group Bible study, waiting only until heads were bowed before opening fire. Of the nine congregants killed, three were close relatives of a local chaplain named Sharon Risher. At Dylann’s sentencing, Sharon’s grief and anger were compounded by her sister's public offer of forgiveness. In Sharon’s mind, forgiveness was off the table – until God changed everything. In this interview with host Eric Huffman, Sharon celebrates the freedom she found in exchanging destructive hate for the love that leads to life.
