Losing two mentors in one weekend is more than my heart can bear. I don't know another way through the grief other than to write about it.
Dan Treier, you made the world a much better place. We'll miss you terribly.

In 'Becoming God’s Family,' @carmenjoyimes.bsky.social offers a profoundly hopeful answer. She reminds us that God has always delighted in creating a global, intergenerational family.
