Summary

The temptation to hide when we hurt and isolate when we go through shameful seasons is doing a lot more harm to us than healing for us. It's in stepping out into the light, seeking to be known by a healthy community, that we can move out of our pain into a posture of real connection and direction. My friend Toni Collier has lived this, written about this, and shares about her public divorce, the pain from her husband's affair, and the healing journey God took her on through community in today's episode and in her new book, which is available NOW!
