Summary

In today's episode, we're discussing the heartbreaking story of the death of high school track student Austin Metcalf at the hands of alleged suspect Karmelo Anthony. We go over the details of what happened, and while we don't know why Karmelo allegedly stabbed Austin, we do know that killing someone for mere words is never justifiable. That didn't stop social media from jumping to conclusions about Austin, even going so far as to call him a white supremacist and saying he deserved to be stabbed with absolutely no evidence. We also talk about what duties Christians have when it comes to forgiveness, and we are praying for the families affected by this terrible tragedy.

0:00.0	Austin Metcalf was a 17-year-old who was murdered last week at a high school track meet.
0:07.3	The debate that has been sparked in the aftermath of this tragedy has us asking a lot of very important questions about forgiveness, about right versus wrong, about self-defense, and yes, about race relations in
0:24.3	the United States. We will get into all of that on today's episode of Relatable.
0:40.2	Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

1:19.0	faces because you never know how hostile these events can get. I don't anticipate this being
1:25.4	any kind of tense or problematic situation. There's going to be a ton

1:42.2	how effective turning point is and that we are disseminating
1:46.0	ideas to the the youths of America or turning point is anyway and I just get to be one of the
