Storytellers are the guardians of memories, Ray tells us.

In this episode, Ray shares some of the memories of his early years and how the stories of our lives give shape to the people we become. 

These formative memories of family history encourage us that our memories, even the darker, painful ones can become a wellspring of hope and redemption for generations to come.
