Someone Has to Go First: Luke Smallbone on Forgiveness

Luke Smallbone of for KING + COUNTRY shares the story of forgiveness with his own brothers and takes us behind the scenes of Drummer Boy, in theaters November 6. A film about reconciliation, Luke shares how he had to live it first. He shares why forgiveness puts your pride on the line. And if there’s someone in your family you haven’t spoken to in a long time, why someone has to go first.Here are some key takeaways:

• Drift starts small. Creative and business differences crept into the brothers’ relationship.
• Reconciliation started with an uncomfortable conversation and owning their part.
• Forgiveness isn’t one and done. Rebuild trust, keep forgiving, and pick up the phone when suspicion creeps in.
• “I got my brother back.” The film was already a win before it hit theaters.
• When two people can’t get along, often one or both just has to be right.
• Learn to forgive the people you once thought were unforgivable. That’s where freedom is.
