## Resource

When is public penance enough, or are we doomed to serve a life sentence of guilt for our worst moments? Trey reflects on the heavy emotional price of mistakes following the harsh crowd reactions aimed at golfer Wyndham Clark at the U.S. Open. Drawing powerful parallels from the classic film The Mission, his own experiences in the courtroom, and monumental biblical history, Trey examines the critical difference between a superficial apology and genuine, transformative remorse.
