In this final episode of Season 2, I'm "opening up my office," which is currently covered with my kids' toys and an interesting but good smell of fresh-cut peonies and coffee. Have a seat and get cozy as I share what’s next for the Broken to Beloved podcast and respond to a few questions I received from the audience. During our break, you can look forward to tuning in to some of my favorite recap episodes and archives from this year’s Summit. And before you know it, Season 3 will be here in five short weeks, starting off with our friend Dr. Hilary McBride, the author of Holy Hurt and The Wisdom of Your Body.
The questions I cover:
- How can we discern when to go back to church?
- How can we reconcile the Old Testament God with the New Testament Jesus?
- What’s the extent and impact of sexual abuse in the church?
- How can reconciliation happen if the perpetrator feels they have done nothing wrong?
