She set out to write a book about God’s extravagant love. It was supposed to be a 10 month project and then life blindsided Quina. And that brought her to the place where she thought God hated her. Then, the book that should have taken 10 months took 4 years. In that time, the silence of God, and the lack of answers gave way to the comfort of God and a hard won assurance of God’s love, for her, for our world. Quina Aragon, spoken word artist and author of Love Has A Story: 100 Meditations on the Enduring Love of God, invites you to explore God’s love as it has existed and moved throughout (and before) time, and how it intends to transform your own life story.   Quina’s book begins with a confession. She admits she’s struggled to forgive, struggled with lust, struggled with intense bouts of anxiety and depression, and with believing God hated her. Even as she wrote this book.  Shawna asks Quina, “Where does your strength to be vulnerable come from?”  Lastly, Quina leaves us to ponder, “Could you have the courage to believe love has a story, and you’re a part of it?” Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
