Episode 32:  Bubbles
In this week's episode, we discuss the bubbles we create for ourselves, tiny microcosms of tenuous peace.

What can be done for broken souls who have lost the protective bubble of family, and community, and even sanity? It's hard to know. There are programs designed to help. And we each can do our part as we feel prompted. But there are no really good answers except for one: Jesus Christ. In Him, we have a home. He is the ultimate protective bubble.
