ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I offer up some reflections moving from Jesus's path to the cross into those twilit hours before he rose. I interweave my own story of deep trauma and hope of healing on the way. After church hurt and religious trauma, how do we rise to new spiritual life?
Content warning: discussions of religious trauma and queerphobia; brief, non-specific suicide mention.
