On this episode of the podcast, Lore Wilbert joins us to discuss how Jesus redeems touch in our lives.  She reminds us that our unique stories inform the way we perceive touch and she encourages us to offer our wounds to Christ.  Her gentle demeanor exudes humility and grace as she addresses a complicated topic.  I am so thankful for Lore’s wisdom and for making a sometimes uncomfortable topic relatable and accessible.
