Show Notes
[1:00] I'm really curious to hear a little about your story.
[5:32] When there's a pressure in our life, there's a potential gift because we break… Do you find yourself grateful for that?
[8:33] To be willing to look at oneself with God—would you agree that there's a strength that requires from people?
[10:38] What would you like to see the Church do or become in terms of spaces that can handle brokenness or have a word in suffering?
[15:00] We can't take people there [on a healing journey] if we haven't been there ourselves. Would you agree?
[16:14] Do you “walk with a limp?”
[18:57] Have you found…that what often emerges in the healing is something beyond what you or others can imagine, that it's different and wonderful in ways we can't see?
[22:14] You mentioned community earlier. What is the role of community in this?
[24:50] When you were in the hospital…What would have been helpful from your friends there? What could they have done during that time?
