37. The unexpected friendship of an ex-skinhead and the victim he nearly killed

It took three months of working together at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles before Matthew Boger and Tim Zaal realized they had met before, as teenagers in the 80's, when then Neo-Nazi skinhead Tim beat Matthew, a homeless, gay 14-year old, nearly to death. This moment of recognition began a process of healing and forgiveness that led the two men to speak together on stages across the country about their unlikely friendship. Today, Matthew and Tim share a vision that all things are possible, and provide hope to those who feel lost or otherwise unable to break free from the past. Follow us on social media!Twitter: @allthewiserpodInstagram: @allthewiserpodcast Facebook: @allthewiserpodcastSign up for our newsletter via our website allthewiserpodcast.comHave a story to share with us or feedback about an episode you heard?
