Join us as we dive into the lives of everyday people from The Village Church in Tucson, Arizona who willingly and openly share their lives. We will be breaking down big ideas through conversations to help one another wrestle with ways to engage our communities. We will talk frequently about race, disabilities, advocacy, and faith while also bringing in guests to share their various expertises and how they use their skills to ultimately engage and heal the city.
