Someone I love in Brazil just died, and it is hard to not be there. What was your experience with preparing and dealing with death while serving on the field?

What do you wish to go back and tell yourself when you were just starting out? I share three things (that I am still working on) as well as talking about the Velvet Ashes retreat. Have you been? Go!

Recording slowly with my daughters, this is the Audiobook of my book, which you can order on Amazon!

The last chapters of part 2, read by me, the author, with my two daughters adding their important commentary. Thank you for joining us on this journey!

My daughters help me with this very special audiobook of the book I wrote for them about the conversations we need to have about race and God.

Jessica joins Sofia and I in the fun! We talk (and read) the final chapters of part 1 of my book, “Check the Box.”
