In this very first episode, we’re examining the story of Easter juxtaposed with one of our personal stories.
Each of us has been through a lot, and have had the opportunity to deconstruct our faith. At this point in our journeys, we still think there’s something beautiful to hold onto: we’ve found that looking at the story of the Bible through a new lens can bring much healing and life.
When it comes to the Easter story in the Christian faith, we both believe that all of human suffering is held on the cross because God chose to suffer with us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We can see that God is good and loving because He held nothing back from all of humankind.
Welcome to The Exile Project with your hosts Patricia Manwaring and Elisa Booker. We’re so glad you’re here with us.
