Many of us have faced experiences in life that call the way we see everything into question. Some experiences cause us to question the very nature of who God is and force us to re-cognize who we are, how we can heal and how we show up in the world.

This week Ines Velasquez-McBryde invites us into the trauma of losing her mother in a plane crash when she was a child and how that and the subsequent loss of her father’s emotional presence to clinical depression distorted the image she held of God. She shares about her journey of healing and the image of God she reconstructed in response. Then we reimagine Acts 2:1-13 and the radical inclusivity of God.
