What do you do when Sunday morning church culture and the story it tells is no longer enough? What do you do when you are reconciling passion for Hip-Hop, Beauty Supply Stores, The Divine 9 and Theology?  What do you do when you lose your entire immediate family in one tragic moment?  Our guest this week wrote a book about it and we get right to it!

Candice shares about her new book "Red Lip Theology" and how she's found an invitation to live into a more vulnerable truth within the "totalizing" losses and traumas she has experienced.  She invites us to forsake our facades and how doing exactly that leads to authentic relationship with a more expansive God.  Then we reimagined John 8 and how we can be tender toward ourselves.
