Today, I’m guest posting at Suzannah Paul’s blog on the topic of Embodied Faith.

In my pain and anger at the injustice that’s happened to me and others, I can wrestle with God and demand something better.

In surviving and healing and beating death, I can find solidarity with the risen Christ, the surviving God.
