How can we learn to love each other the way God loves all of us? How can we best connect with and learn from people who are so different from us? Is there really a gift in this pain? As always, Raul and Vivian are here to talk frankly with each other about their experiences with discrimination, the insights they gained from raising children in this uncertain time, and what we can still learn from Jesus nearly 2,000 years after he was killed for threatening the social order of his day.

With a heavy heart, Vivian and I are going to use this opportunity to turn pain into fuel and talk about the difficulty we are both having processing this event. We can’t solve the big political problems, and we’re not going to tell you how you should vote. But we can tell you how to deal with hate in your own life, and how you can choose to make pain better or worse.

So please join us on an episode of God, Money & Purpose that was difficult to record, but a necessary early step in healing the pain we are all going through right now.
