Living Transparently
featuringNACR
Have we lost our ability to tell the truth in our communities of faith? Have we lost the art of testimony? Is it to messiness not "efficient enough" to create safe and vulnerable places to tell our stories? The practice of living transparently is a requirement for our spiritual journeys and to free us from spending the bulk of our time in communities burdened down by shame.
