Healing the City

So often, we find ourselves sitting next to people in church—people with fascinating stories and incredible expertise—and yet we miss the chance to truly know them. What if we slowed down and took the time to hear how each of us spends our days, how we wrestle with life, and how God is working in our stories?

Join us as we journey into the lives of everyday folks from The Village Church here in Tucson, Arizona. These are people just like you, who are willing to open up and share their lives. Through honest conversations, we’ll tackle big ideas and practical ways to engage our communities, helping one another see what it looks like to live out our faith in tangible ways.

We’ll explore topics like race, disability, advocacy, and faith, inviting guests to share their unique perspectives and skills. Together, we’ll look for ways to use what we’ve been given to connect, serve, and ultimately bring healing to our city.

thank you, Pastor Sue and Pastor Eric for your parenting removing foolishness podcast. My question is as we represent God to our children. I get confused as when we do Trinitarian prayer as God's kids get to come to God with all of our sin and feelings, and pound on God's chest. However, I hear you saying in the moment children do not get to do the same in heated moments of disobedience. I agree and this boundary has been helpful. But can you help me understand the reasoning for this?
