Episode 9
This is the first of a series of interviews with shalom-makers who've learned to live on the flip-side because they understand the front-side of theology. Tracy Hipps' childhood was horrific and traumatic. Yet, he discovered that his own pain made him empathetic rather than merely pathetic and angry. He found his greatest joy in giving away rather than getting even.
You'll find hope and encouragement for your own life by paying attention to the obvious healing and good fruit that comes from pursuing shalom for others' lives rather than lamenting or focusing on its absence in your own.
