WHO: Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez, host of the Yas and Amen Podcast and founder and CEO of Full Collective.

SHE SAYS: “Our way of living, thinking and communing comes not from a day of the week or a man-made structure but from a powerful God.” 

THE BIG IDEA: When we embrace God’s vision for the church, we can address church trauma and heal the body of Christ.

THE PROGRESSION: Through 12 chapters, the author explains the radical way the church can be sacred (biblically based), soft (trauma-informed) and safe (justice centered). 

“When we choose to be a sanctuary, we are a people and a place that are safe for all people, like Jesus was and is.”
