Wild and holy women with Sherry Cothran

United Methodist pastor and author the Rev. Sherry Cothran invites us to take a closer look at the stories of some of the wild and holy women of the Bible. While we may be familiar with Esther, Rahab and others, Cothran teaches that their lives and circumstances hold clues for healing our own pain.

In this conversation, Crystal and Sherry talk about how resurrecting these stories may encourage us to untame certain parts of who we are.
