Episode 65 Restoring Broken Circles – Healing Divisions in Communities and Churches

SHOW NOTES:

Division, Misunderstanding, Hurt Feelings have fractured families, churches, and Native communities—often leaving wounds that run deep across generations. This episode invites listeners into a hopeful, biblical vision of reconciliation. Rooted in Indigenous understandings of the circle and Paul’s call to the ministry of reconciliation, we explore how Jesus restores broken relationships and calls us to walk the good road together again.
