Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez shares insights from her book 'Being a Sanctuary,' which navigates the church's dual role as a source of harm and healing. The discussion also humorously explores rats driving tiny cars, blending fun with deeper reflections on community and the intricate dynamics of church culture.
