Talking about Race and Other Hard Conversations

One of the more difficult aspects of moving from isolation to connection can be the necessity of having some hard conversations. In this episode, we hear Hannah McMullen's story of growing up black in a predominantly white setting. She explains how it became difficult for her to have conversations about race, and how this kept her separated from others knowing her more fully. She shares stories of hurt and healing, and how a difficult conversation led to breakthrough.

Please contact Kevin and Paul with questions, comments or topic requests for the podcast: cforconnection@gmail.com. If you have a story of isolation and connection with God or church, we'd love to hear it.
