Jess reflects on the deep human longing to know we’re not alone in the world, and the ways church communities have been a source of love, security and support throughout her life. She shares stories of experiencing divine presence, and explains why she wanted to pass this onto her children even as her own views of God were shifting.
Walter continues in the theme of “Being Human Together” by sharing thoughts from Jung, Romans 7-8, and 1 John on the importance of our getting to know our Shadow so it can be transformed by love and grace and grow up to be a part of our whole personality.
