The Questions Separations Bring

Powerful questions provoke introspection and sometimes a reassessment of who we are and who we are becoming. My guest today is the Rev. Derek Miller. And I asked him to be in conversation with me to share and discuss the introspective periods he journeyed through when his denominational identity was shifting and his marriage was ending. Difficult as they are, endings do lead to new beginnings.  Thanks for listening!
