Get ready for a heartfelt and eye-opening chat with Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez—author, podcaster, and all-around visionary. In this episode, we’re diving into her powerful mission of helping the Body of Christ become a sanctuary—a place (and a people!) that’s sacred, soft, and safe. Pricelis shares her personal journey, from experiencing hurt in church settings to creating spaces of healing, hope, and inclusivity. We talk about her incredible book, Being a Sanctuary, and how it’s challenging Christians to live biblically while embracing justice and gentleness. Plus, she spills the details on the Sower Summit, a one-of-a-kind gathering that equips believers to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Whether you’re navigating church hurt, longing for authentic community, or curious about making your faith spaces more inclusive, this episode will leave you inspired and ready to take action. KEY TAKEAWAYS: What it really means to be a sanctuary—it’s more about who you are than where you go. Why justice isn’t a seasonal buzzword but a lifestyle rooted in Scripture. The beauty of softness: meeting people with compassion, dignity, and Christ-like empathy. How to embrace holiness in your daily life without falling into judgment. Why creating trauma-informed, inclusive faith spaces is essential for the Church today. TIMESTAMPS: [00:00] Meet Pricelis: Podcaster, author, and a champion for sacred spaces.
