About this episode
Steve reflects on a childhood mistake and the lessons of grace and forgiveness taught by his father.
After accidentally destroying the family station wagon as a teenager, Steve (aka Rivers) braced himself for anger, disappointment, and consequences. Instead, his father responded with remarkable self-control and grace. In this Father’s Day episode of Grandpa Channel, Rivers reflects on one unforgettable mistake, the lesson it taught him about forgiveness, and why the way we respond to other people’s failures can shape them for years to come.
