I remember being so angry right after the election, and it would be easy to say it was because of the overall result. It would be easy to say it was only because of the policies and rhetoric. That was a part of it for sure, but a larger part, a more gut wrenching part, was learning that the community around me, people I thought I knew personally and intimately, happily and eagerly voted for Trump.
This episode is about how I’m working through my resistance towards reconciliation. It’s about how I’m turning towards the Lord’s word to help me through a process I’m not sure I would pursue on my own. And don’t get wrong, I’m not there yet. But I think I’m finally finding a more concrete first step than I have in almost a year.
