Grief, Jesus, & George Floyd
We don’t love young people in a vacuum and neither did Jesus. The murder of George Floyd and movement for black lives in this season has sparked national outrage and will forever shape this generation of young people…and Jesus meets us in the middle of it all. Today we invite TYFC’s Volunteer Care & Training Manager Danielle Bender to help us unpack how we are processing our grief and practicing lament in this moment as leaders and how we’ve created space to process grief and practice lament with young people.
